Produced by Roulette Intermedium.

Drummer/composer Ches Smith's project We All Break infuses downtown jazz improvisation with traditional Haitian Vodou music, recorded at Roulette in 2021. Co-composer and master drummer Daniel Brevil contributes Vodou songs–both traditional and original–which marry with Smith’s compositions. Formed in 2013, We All Break is an ensemble at the crossroads of traditional Haitian Vodou music and au courant composition and improvisation. Master drummers Daniel Brevil, Fanfan Jean Guy, and Markus Schwartz–along with vocalists Sirene Dantor Rene, Tossie Long, and Lalin St Juste—team up with improvisors Miguel Zenón (sax), Matt Mitchell (piano), Nick Dunston (bass) and drummer Smith (a long-time student of Haitian Vodou drums who performs in religious and folkloric contexts in New York, San Francisco, and Haiti).

"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.
