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 Camille Bertault & David Helbock Playground Jazz | ACT | 180g, 1LP, Includes Download Code Released 27th May 2022 £25.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Camille Bertault & David Helbock Playground £25.00 Genre: Jazz Label: ACT SKU: ACTLP9951-1 Formats: 180g, 1LP, Includes Download Code Released Date: 27th May 2022 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Paul Quinichette/Charlie Rouse The Chase Is On (mono) Jazz | Pure Pleasure | 180g, 1LP Released 24th June 2013 £34.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Paul Quinichette/Charlie Rouse The Chase Is On (mono) £34.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Pure Pleasure SKU: BCP6021 Formats: 180g, 1LP Released Date: 24th June 2013 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View McCoy Tyner Tender Moments Jazz | Blue Note Tone Poet | 180g, 1LP, Gatefold Sleeve Released 8th January 2021 £33.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders McCoy Tyner Tender Moments £33.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Blue Note Tone Poet SKU: 893429 Formats: 180g, 1LP, Gatefold Sleeve Released Date: 8th January 2021 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Dizzy Gillespie The Champ Jazz | Savoy | 1LP Released 15th April 2016 £13.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Dizzy Gillespie The Champ £13.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Savoy SKU: SVY16068 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 15th April 2016 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Peter Somuah Letter to the Universe Jazz | ACT | 1LP Released 2nd June 2023 £20.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Peter Somuah Letter to the Universe £20.00 Genre: Jazz Label: ACT SKU: ACTLP9969-1 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 2nd June 2023 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Sarah Vaughan How Long Has This Been Going On?
