Nameless Sound presents Matana Roberts at Barnevelder Movement Arts Complex, 8pm
Matana Roberts (New York) - alto saxophone with the Nameless Sound Ensemble: Nick Cooper - drums David Dove - trombone Ryan Edwards - guitar, voice Doug Falk - double bass, trumpet Sonia Flores - double bass, voice Emmanuel Guajardo - electric bass Jason Jackson - saxophones Gibson Martin - piano Michelle Yom - flute 

One of the most exciting rising stars in creative music, saxophonist/composer Matana Roberts has a deep sense of her music’s traditions and a strong role in pushing its boundaries. Roberts’ root in the AACM (Chicago’s crucial and historic organization of African-American composers and community musicians) underlines her work as a composer and a teacher/activist. She will be in Houston for a one-week residency, leading workshops in public schools and homeless shelters; as well as rehearsing The Nameless Sound Ensemble in a movement of her composition “Coin Coin”. Her major work-in-progress, “Coin Coin” documents her family history, including the life and times of Mary Therese Coin Coin, a freed slave who established business and a Creole community in Louisiana at the turn of the 18th Century – becoming a popular folkloric figure. Matana Roberts is strong saxophone player whose daring creativity balances well against her soulful lyricism and bold expressiveness. She’s one of the crucial voices in the instruments enduring vitality and its central importance in American musical expression.
