Jazz experimentalist Matana Roberts drops a 10-minute solo sax piece that’s as moving as it is winding. Despite a lack of boundaries due to a lack of other instruments on the track, Roberts stays incredibly sharp and focused in her playing; not letting a single moment here pass by without being given purpose. She transitions from impressive melodies to less restrained playing fluidly, and nearly every bit of it comes through with a strong sense of emotion.
Check out Roberts’ 2011 album Coin Coin Chapter One if you’ve yet to.
