""Memory is the most unusual thing," Matana Roberts says repeatedly throughout Coin Coin Chapter Four: Memphis, the latest installment in a 12-part project that explores the reedist's personal history and cultural lineage through an ethnographic lens. She methodically weaves childhood memories with reimagined jazz standards, African-American spirituals, avant-garde composition and instrumentation that evokes the American South ... Roberts later triumphantly proclaims, "Live life out loud. Live life, stay proud," concluding a deeply personal exploration of identity and lineage".
