The first three Coin Coin albums, issued from 2011-2015, charted diverse pathways of avant modern composition – Roberts calls it “panoramic sound quilting” – and ranged sequentially from large band to sextet to solo, unified by Roberts’ archival and often deeply personal research into legacies of the American slave trade and ancestries of American identity/experience. Roberts also emphasizes non-male subjects and thematises these other-gendered stories with a range of vocal and verbal techniques: singspeak, submerged glossolalic recitation, guttural cathartic howl, operatic voice, gentle lullaby, group chant, and the recuperation of various American folk traditionals and spirituals, whether surfacing in fragmentary fashion or as unabridged set-pieces. The root of this vocality comes from her dedication to the legacy of her main chosen instrument, the alto saxophone. On Coin Coin Chapter Four: Memphis, Roberts convened a new band, with New Yorkers Hannah Marcus (guitars, fiddle, accordion) and percussionist Ryan Sawyer (Thurston Moore, Nate Wooley, Cass McCombs) joined by Montreal bassist Nicolas Caloia (Ratchet Orchestra) and Montreal-Cairo composer/improviser Sam Shalabi (Land Of Kush, Dwarfs Of East Agouza) on guitar and oud, along with prolific trombonist Steve Swell and vibraphonist Ryan White as special guests. Memphis unspools as a continuous work of 21st century liberation music, oscillating between meditative incantatory explorations, raucous melodic themes, and unbridled free-improv suites, quoting archly and ecstatically from various folk traditions along the way. Led by Roberts’ conduction and unique graphic score practice, her consummate saxophone and clarinet playing, and punctuated by her singing and speaking various texts generated from her own historical research and diaristic writings, Coin Coin Chapter Four is a glorious and spellbinding new installment in this projected twelve-part Gesamtkunstwerk. “Roberts isn’t just a storyteller, musician, ethnographer, historian, bandleader, arranger, improviser, or activist. She plays all of those roles, yes: collectively, they power one of the most provocative ongoing bodies of work by any American musician.” Pitchfork “Astonishing work of history, memory and sensed experience. Confirms Roberts’ place as one of the most important living artists in any field.” The Quietus Artist Matana Roberts Genre Jazz Label Constellation Buying Options 180g 1LP Includes Download Code Format 180g , 1LP , Includes Download Code Condition New Country UK Track Listings Jewels Of The Sky: Inscription As Far As Eyes Can See Trail Of The Smiling Sphinx Piddling Shoes Of Gold Wild Fire Bare Fit To Be Tied Her Mighty Waters Run All Things Beautiful In The Fold Raise Yourself Up Backbone Once More How Bright Theyshine Share this On Facebook On Twitter Via Email More from Matana Roberts and more from Jazz View Product Quick View Matana Roberts Coin Coin Chapter Five: In The Garden Jazz | Constellation | 10", 2LP, Includes Download Code Released 29th September 2023 £32.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Matana Roberts Coin Coin Chapter Five: In The Garden £32.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Constellation SKU: CST170LP Formats: 10", 2LP, Includes Download Code Released Date: 29th September 2023 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Matana Roberts Coin Coin Chapter Three: River Run Thee Jazz | Constellation | 180g, 1LP, Includes Download Code Released 2nd February 2015 £21.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Matana Roberts Coin Coin Chapter Three: River Run Thee £21.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Constellation SKU: CST110LP Formats: 180g, 1LP, Includes Download Code Released Date: 2nd February 2015 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View McCoy Tyner Inception Jazz | Impulse | 1LP Released 23rd August 2019 £20.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders McCoy Tyner Inception £20.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Impulse SKU: 7757390 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 23rd August 2019 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Nearly New View Product Quick View Thelonious Monk Quartet Monk’s Dream Jazz | CBS Jazz Masterpieces | 1LP Released 2nd April 2024 £10.00 Add to basket Reserve View Reservations Thelonious Monk Quartet Monk’s Dream £10.00 Genre: Jazz Label: CBS Jazz Masterpieces SKU: nn283761 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 2nd April 2024 Reserve View Reservations Read More Add to basket View Product Quick View Andrew Hill Dance With Death Jazz | Blue Note Tone Poet | 180g, 1LP, Gatefold Sleeve Released 3rd March 2023 £33.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Andrew Hill Dance With Death £33.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Blue Note Tone Poet SKU: 3837076 Formats: 180g, 1LP, Gatefold Sleeve Released Date: 3rd March 2023 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View e.s.t.
