The Sultan Room

FourOneOne returns to the Sultan Room with Black Chamber Folk Music – the trio of NYC creative music veterans, Cooper-Moore and William Parker, musicians with a deep history together that goes back to the 1970s. Employing Carter’s battery of woodwinds and horns, Parker’s bass, n’goni, shennai and other instruments from Africa and Asia, and Cooper-Moore’s homemade Ashimba, fretless banjo and diddley bow – instruments deeply entangled with the history of Africans in the Americas – the trio bring Black creative music into sympathetic vibration with traditions from around the globe, to “really move towards non-European concepts,” as Parker has stated.

Watergh0st, the song writing alter-ego of improvising guitarist Chuck Roth, opens with a solo set.
