Charles Ives returns to the spotlight for his sesquicentennial year as we wrest his First Piano Sonata from the long shadow cast by its better known sibling, the Concord Sonata. We also revisit gems by his compatriots Morton Feldman and Roger Reynolds for their 50th anniversaries, and celebrate the 70th birthday of drummer Pheeroan Aklaff with help from Oliver Lake, Anthony Braxton and Michael Gregory Jackson. New tracks by Joe Fonda, Wadada Leo Smith, David Toop and the Marie Krüttli Trio, plus a first look at Benjamin Attahir's evocative music, rounds out the playlist.
Flotation Device brings you creative and improvised music from the Northwest and around the world with host Michael Schell, every Sunday night 10pm–Midnight on 91.3 KBCS Bellevue/Seattle/Tacoma. Annotated playlist and photo credits with Comments.
