Matana Roberts/Robert Mitchell/Tom Mason/Mark Sanders

One of today's most compelling new sax talents Chicagoan saxophonist Roberts is as striking and dynamic to look at as she is to listen to, Roberts fuses the folkloric traditions of her African-American roots with a slow burning soulful approach against jump cut Downtown punctuations. She's here by her superb band featuring the mercurial piano talents of Robert Mitchell and bassist Tom Mason to play music from their latest LP 'Live In London'. See her at Café Oto on Monday too in a duo with drummer Seb Rochford.
