Matana Roberts
Jez Nelson presents New York saxophonist Matana Roberts and five musicians in the latest chapter of her Coin Coin project, in a performance given at the Bimhuis in Amsterdam.
Jez Nelson presents New York-based saxophonist Matana Roberts and the latest chapter of her Coin Coin project. Roberts emerged in the middle of the last decade, blending elements of avant-garde improvisation with the contemporary rock and dub of her native city. Coin Coin is an ongoing, multi-part work, begun in 2011, tracing her family's African-American heritage back over several generations in music and text. Roberts is joined here by five other musicians in a performance of the new, second chapter, at the Bimhuis in Amsterdam.
