Playlist, Week of 2023-09-24

Metamorphoses is a series of typically brilliant improvisations from double bassist Daniel Barbiero and electronics wizard (he also plays cello, but not here) Gary Rouzer... I am proud to have improvised with both these guys in the past (but not at the same time).... here, Dan plays wonderful bass lines manipulated and augmented by Gary to create delightfully spacy concoctions...
