Flotation Device 2022-11-27 - Smoke gets in your Flotation Device

Flotation Device surveys a bevy of new releases, including the latest from Trevor Dunn, Ikue Mori, Alexander Hawkins and Climax Golden Twins. Hear Keith Jarrett in an unusually modernist vein and Else Marie Pade in an unusually acoustic one (both via premiere recordings). Cory Smythe revisits Smoke Gets in Your Eyes, Dan Weiss channels Nancarrow, and Tom Rainey and Ingrid Laubrock channel Coltrane the astronaut. Brandon Seabrook brings us avant-downhome music, while a post-car crash Miles Davis brings us a precursor to today’s avant-rock via our “50 years ago in the avant-garde” feature. We compare three kinds of Old Meets New from Gabriel Prokofiev, Sound-In and Mauricio Kagel (via a new recording of his Bach-centric Chorbuch), while cameos from Rădulescu and Martirano, plus a new portrait album from Pierre Jalbert, round out the playlist.
