The saxophonist/composer Matana Roberts in excerpts from the 4th Chapter (Memphis) of her epic musical novel, Coin Coin, recorded at the Roulette Concert Hall in Brooklyn in 2019. Described by the artist as “a work of ‘panoramic sound quilting’ that aims to expose the mystical roots and channel the intuitive spirit-raising traditions of American creative expression”. In this chapter, Roberts weaves African-American ethnography and history with strands of jazz, blues, free improv, afro-futurism, traditional songs, spoken word, and experimental techniques. Roberts is joined by collaborators Hannah Marcus, accordion; Ryan Sawyer, drums: Matt Lavelle, trumpet, clarinet; Stuart Bogie, clarinet, jaw harp; Kyp Malone, guitar; and Meshell Ndegeocello, bass.
