Produced by Roulette Intermedium.

From an evening length performance by Chicago-born, Brooklyn-based, AACM-veteran saxophonist and composer Matana Roberts with a stellar ensemble of jazz masters: Vijay Iyer, piano; Liberty Ellman, guitar; Thomas Morgan, bass; and Damion Reid, drums. This composition, Illumination, is described by the artist as a collection of soundpaintings about life in New York. Roberts’ work, specially her multi-chapter epic, Coin Coin, is strongly influenced by social, political, mystical, and spiritual voices and traditions. Recorded in concert at Roulette on 18 June 2009.

"Tracking The Odds: The Roulette Concert Archive" is a monthly hour-long radio special produced by Roulette Intermedium (roulette.org) and broadcast in partnership with Wave Farm’s WGXC 90.7-FM and Standing Wave Radio. The broadcasts feature selected highlights from Roulette’s New York experimental music space dating from the early 1980s to the present. Thousands of rare, formative, and often unheard recordings by innovators and adventurous musicians populate the archive. Tracking The Odds airs the fourth Monday of the month from 3 p.m. to 4 p.m. and is archived at wavefarm.org.

Founded in 1978, Roulette operates a 400-seat concert hall on Atlantic Avenue in Brooklyn with a focus on experimental and unorthodox music and performance across all genres and media. It's archive of thousands of audio and video recordings is currently being restored.
