Composer, violinist, vocalist, poet, visual artist, and educator Terry Jenoure traces the arc of a spiritual, artistic, and ancestral journey across nearly four decades of performances at Roulette. From an early fascination with folk music, to the church, to working alongside Leroy Jenkins, to exploring a Puerto Rican, Jamaican, and African heritage, Jenoure's musical explorations and creations are a testament to tradition and imagination. We hear stories and excerpts from collaborative projects with Brandon Ross, James Kamal Jones aka Kamal Sabir, Pheroan Ak Laff, Gene Torres, Maria Mitchell, and others in this compelling musical tale. Jenoure returns to Roulette April 16, 2023, livestreamed and archived.

Alto saxophonist Steve Coleman is the only musician in the 2014 MacArthur Foundation Fellowship class. WDCB's Brian O'Keefe talked with Coleman about winning the prestigious honor.

Chicago Native Steve Coleman Is a MacArthur Foundation Fellow

In this enlightening interview, Steve Coleman and I discuss his two-week run at The Stone, his MacArthur fellowship, spontaneity in improvisation, the limits of modern language, the convergence of personalities, getting in touch with one's inner child, wonder, cultural conditioning, the loss of authenticity, cultural consummation, the development of jazz in the United States, his upcoming studio recording, colors, and so much more.

Hopefully this interview inspires your curiosity about nature and being!
