Extraordinary alto saxophonist, composer, improviser and sound experimentalist Matana Roberts<\/a> has to date released three instalments from her ongoing experimental project Coin Coin<\/em>, 2011\u2019s Coin Coin Chapter One: Gens de couleur libres<\/em>, 2013’s Coin Coin Chapter Two: Mississippi Moonchile<\/em> and lastly Coin Coin Chapter Three: river run thee<\/em>, released in 2015. But she had previously said that the project was far from finished, promising another 10 chapters. Four years on from the last Coin Coin<\/em> release, a new instalment is on the way, Coin Coin Chapter Four: Memphis<\/em>, releasing on October 18th through Constellation<\/a>. “Roberts deftly weaves a sonic tapestry of African-American ethnography and history with strands of jazz, blues, free improv, afro-futurism, traditionals, spoken word and avant-garde composition”, describes the label, “always guided by her powerfully personal\/universal narratives and wholehearted, singular artistic spirit.”<\/p>\n

It’s still a long wait until the album is out but we can already hear a magnificent taste from it, “Raise Yourself Up” \/ “Backbone Once More” \/ “How Bright They Shine”. Here it is.<\/p>\n
