Share – free audio & video jam
What is share?SHARE is first and foremost a platform to explore expression, in a variety of artforms. Through its weekly open jam sessions, SHARE.nyc engages its participants and spectators in a continually changing dialog on art and culture.

Tonight’s featured guest -
Carver Audain (b 1981) is a New York-based sound artist who has been creating music since 2001. Materially, he produces works using guitar, electronics, field recordings, organ, and other assorted sources. Strategically, he uses improvisational tactics to integrate a variety of pre-recorded and pre-arranged material with his live playing through the use of controlled feedback and situation-specific spontaneous composition. Sonically, he produces an array of textured sound fields with slow-shifting harmonies that both merge with and transform their physical surroundings.

Artist-In-Residence: Matana Roberts, post-concert talk with Nate Chinen
“Ms. Roberts isn’t just mildly curious to expand her medium: She seems driven to do it.” – NY Times
“Matana is definitely nondescriptive. She’s not a lady, she’s not a man; she’s just a being…” – Jazz Times
“Roberts is a deep traditionalist who looks beyond the rigid distinctions and definitions of musical style” – Chicago Defender
“…alto saxophonist and clarinetist Matana Roberts –add this name to the frustratingly short list of excellent, female reed players…” – All About Jazz
“…Roberts is a fluid, elegant player who rejects the star soloist approach of many a saxophonist….” – BBC Jazz
“The sound of Matana Roberts’ alto sax spans jazz her-story, from its roots in New Orleans, through the swinging ‘30s-40s, to the New Thing.” – All About Jazz
Matana ( mah-tah-nah)Roberts, is a dynamic saxophonist, composer and improviser, who tries to expose in her music the mystical roots and spiritual traditions of American creative expression.
As a Chicago native she was fortunate enough to be surrounded by musicians who showed her by distinct example the importance of listening to one’s personal creative voice while at the same time using the profound and many layered traditions of jazz and improvised musics to act only as her creative guide, not as her creative definer. By using their mentorship, she has been able to craft a voice and creative focus that truly speaks to her own true artistic individuality. She feels strongly that her music should not only reflect the many colors and moods of universal human emotions, but that it should also testify, critique, document, and respond to the many socio-economic, historical, and cultural inequalities that exist not only in this country, but all over the world.
Matana, a 2006 Van Lier fellow, Brecht Forum fellow, and 2008 and 2009 Alpert Award in the Arts nominee, has appeared as a collaborator on recordings and performances in the U.S., Europe, and Canada with her own ensembles as well as with the collaborative jazz trio Sticks and Stones, Black Rock Coalition founder Greg Tate’s Burnt Sugar, Reg E Gaines and Savion Glover’s homage project to the late John Coltrane, the Oliver Lake Big Band, and the Julius Hemphill Sextet and Merce Cunningham dance. She recently released a homage project to her hometown entitled The Chicago Project, on Barry Adamson’s Central Control International, produced by pianist extraordinaire Vijay Iyer, featuring friends and supporters of her Chicago development. She has also recorded as a side person on recordings with such iconic bands as Godspeed You Black Emperor, TV on the Radio, Guillermo Scott Herren’s Savath and Savalas, Silver Mt Zion, and sound artist Daniel Given’s Day Clear/Day dark. Matana is a member of the AACM– Association for the Advancement of Creative Musicians and the BRC– Black Rock Coalition.
She has played alongside some of the most intriguing creative sound visionaries spanning across genres of this time period and currently resides in New York City

A CAN CAN FOR COIN COIN…
Rooted in her strong belief that sharing honest creativity is a catalyst for instant community, Matana Roberts and ISSUE Project Room will join together for A CAN CAN FOR COIN COIN, a concert and food drive for her last performance as Artist-in-Residence on December 9th. While developing her blood narrative COIN COIN, she has been trying to connect the work to the social activism inherent in sharing art, and the devotion to community activism prevalent throughout in her family tree. In honor of her ancestors, she is creating this community-focused food drive benefiting the Bread and Life Soup Kitchen, a healthy food initiative that brings both physical and mental nourishment to in-need areas around Brooklyn.

The concert will be followed by a talk with Nate Chinen, a regular music contributor to the New York Times, JazzTimes and The Village Voice.
COIN COIN: In Essence, a Musical Monument to the Human Experience
Matana will premiere the last of three new COIN COIN pieces which focus on spacial and environmental interplay while excavating themes relating to her familial heritage and own personal history.
Matana cultivates an environment where every surface, from walls to floors, to furnishings to large instruments, serve as sonic reciprocators. Keeping visual aesthetics in mind just as much as the auditory experience, and having utilized raw space and various architectures before, Matana creates a comprehensive sensory experience for the audience, attempting to create an intimate “womb” feeling.
Her work during the Residency focuses on and attempts to deconstruct recent discoveries in her lineage and family histories. Researching back to the 1700’s, Matana explores themes of hardship and perseverance while trying to find and construct her own identity. Since beginning this project, she has found that her lineage includes Irish, Dutch, Danish, English, Scottish, African and others, imploring a critical look
at the title “African American”.
Since her youth, Matana was surrounded by musicians who showed by distinct example the importance of listening to one’s personal creative voice while at the same time using the profound and many layered traditions of jazz and improvised musics to act only as her creative guide, not as her creative definer. By using their mentorship, she has been able to craft a voice and creative focus that truly speaks to her own artistic individuality. She feels strongly that her music should not only reflect the many colors and moods of universal human emotions, but that it should also testify, critique, document, and respond to the many socio-economic, historical, and cultural inequalities that exist all over the world.

fff
run by Florian Meyer since 2004.
Born 1976 in Berlin / Germany.
Demand is the sound producing usage of music related objects and machines, which are not intended to produce sound by themselves.
Main fokus is the classical dj-setup, recently reduced to only the mixing-device and/or some cables.
Hereby the process for realization of music is subjekt to various conditions and hence to sudden change at any time. The result is a ruminant quest for spaces beyond melody and rhythm.
fff-performances therefore take place along the line between boring media-art and interesting music or the other way round.

soundflorA
The artist SoundflorA is routed in traditional
singer-song writer music for voice and guitar. In 2007 she startet to use electronic devices like MIDI and drum-sampling and combined them with unusual analog instruments such as a paper-tape organ, bells and the use of found footage sound. So noise and music find a new synthesis on the border between alternativ soundtrack and radio play.
Last year SoundflorA finished the unpublished concept album „The duration of a soap bubble“
based on philosophical texts. It includes very different electro-acoustic tracks.
In general SoundflorA is a loop-based artist.
The newest project is called „I‘m a walkman band“ and more performance orientated.
For this kind of „retro-sampling“ she trys to use outmoded equipment with modern Dj-techniques and follows in the footsteps of artist like the japanese Aki Onda and his „Casette Memories“.

Crackleknob (Mary Halvorson/Reuben Radding/Nate Wooley)
Crackleknob:
Mary Halvorson-guitar
Reuben Radding-bass
Nate Wooley-trumpet
The mad, scrambling lifestyle of the improvising musician tends to produce fleeting musical relationships, ad hoc combinations which merely meet expectations, and then are seldom repeated. For four years, Reuben Radding, Nate Wooley, and Mary Halvorson, have cultivated a musical and personal friendship that goes way beyond this business-as-usual approach to free music-making. Their sound is a collision of angular melodies, noise, minimalist textures, and jazz-based interplay which mysteriously becomes much more than a sum of these parts due to the group’s willingness to dig deep below the surface. This performance at Issue Project Room celebrates their new, self-titled release on HatHut Records.

LEO LINDBERG:
In 2OO3, when Leo Lindberg was a nine-year-old Swedish bass player, he wrote Henry Grimes a letter after reading in a jazz magazine that Henry had returned to the music world after many years away:
“Stockholm, Sweden
21.7.03
Hallo Henry!
My name is Leo Lindberg and I am 9 years old. I listen to jazz music all the time and plays double bass drums and trumpet. First time I heard you was on a record of my father ‘Complete Communion’ with Don Cherry. I thought you were fantastic specially the bow solos and your sound. Then I listened to McCoy Tyner’s ‘Reaching Fourth’ and Roy Haynes quartet with Roland Kirk. When I saw your picture in my father’s jazz magasin and read that you should start playin’ again I was very happy. I took the picture and had one T-shirt made as you see on this photo. Hope you feel good and starts playin again. You are my bass hero. Greetings from Leo.”
And he included a photo of himself in the aforementioned T-shirt:
“Stockholm, Sweden

When I saw your picture in my father’s jazz magasin and read that you should start playin’ again I was very happy. I took the picture and had one T-shirt made as you see on this photo. Hope you feel good and starts playin again. You are my bass hero. Greetings from Leo.”
And he included a photo of himself in the aforementioned T-shirt:
This letter really meant the world to Henry: to be so appreciated by a little fellow far away who hadn’t even been born when the records he named were made! The following year we booked a concert for Henry in Stockholm, and we had Leo brought to the club, and the two played together between the sets and brought the house down and appeared on the front page of Sweden’s biggest newspaper the next morning. And since then, whenever we’ve been in Scandinavian countries, we’ve taken Leo around on tour with us, and he’s sat in with several of Henry’s groups. He’s now 15 and playing drums, Hammond B3, piano, keyboards, flute, alto saxophone, guitar, bass (still and always), etc.
This is Leo Lindberg’s first trip to New York City, so please let’s welcome him, just as he welcomed Henry Grimes! For a little child shall lead us…

HENRY GRIMES
Master jazz musician HENRY GRIMES (acoustic bass and violin, + spoken and written word) has played more than 3OO concerts in 23 countries (including many festivals) since May of ‘O3, when he made his astonishing return to the music world after 35 years away. He was born and raised in Philadelphia and attended the Mastbaum School and Juilliard. In the ‘5O’s and ‘6O’s, he came up in the music playing and touring with Willis “Gator Tail” Jackson, “Bullmoose” Jackson, “Little” Willie John, and a number of other great R&B / soul musicians; but drawn to jazz, he went on to play, tour, and record with many great jazz musicians of that era, including Albert Ayler, Don Cherry, Benny Goodman, Coleman Hawkins, Roy Haynes, Steve Lacy, Charles Mingus, Gerry Mulligan, Sunny Murray, Sonny Rollins, Pharoah Sanders, Archie Shepp, Cecil Taylor, and McCoy Tyner. Sadly, a trip to the West Coast to work with Al Jarreau and Jon Hendricks went awry, leaving Henry in Los Angeles at the end of the ‘6O’s with a broken bass he couldn’t pay to repair, so he sold it for a small sum and faded away from the music world. Many years passed, as he lived in his tiny rented room in an S.R.O. hotel in downtown Los Angeles, working as a manual laborer, custodian, and maintenance man, and writing many volumes of handwritten poetry. He was discovered there by a Georgia social worker and fan in 2OO2 and was given a bass by William Parker, and after only a few weeks of ferocious woodshedding, Henry emerged from his room to begin playing concerts around Los Angeles, and shortly afterwards made a triumphant return to New York City in May, ‘O3 to play in the Vision Festival. Since then, often working as a leader, he has played, toured, and / or recorded with many of today’s music heroes, such as Rashied Ali, Marshall Allen, Fred Anderson, Marilyn Crispell, Andrew Cyrille, Dave Douglas, David Murray, William Parker, Marc Ribot, and Cecil Taylor. In the past few years,Henry has held residencies at the University of Michigan Berklee School of Music, New England Conservatory, and other fine educational institutions, has given a number of workshops and master classes on major campuses, released several new recordings, made his professional debut on a second instrument (the violin) at the age of 7O, published the first volume of his poetry, “Signs Along the Road,” and has been creating illustrations to accompany his new CDs and publications. He has received many honors in recent years, including four Meet the Composer grants and a grant from the Acadia Foundation. He can be heard on more than 80 recordings on Atlantic, Ayler Records, Blue Note, Columbia, ESP-Disk, ILK Music, Impulse!, JazzNewYork Productions, Pi Records, Porter Records, Prestige, Riverside, Verve, and others. He now lives and teaches in New York City. http://www.henrygrimes.com, musicmargaret@earthlink.net.
