Per rendere omaggio al compianto contrabbassista Peter Kowald, che tra pochi giorni avrebbe compiuto ottant'anni, l'emittente newyorkese Wave Farm, con sede ad Acra, propone un concerto tenuto in quartetto con Zeena Parkins, Jason Kao Hwang e Wadada Leo Smith nell'ottobre 1989: è l'episodio più recente della magnifica serie mensile Tracking the Odds che attinge ai materiali d'archivio del Roulette e che in passato ha divulgato documenti rari e inediti di George Lewis, Guy Klucevsek, Mary Halvorson, Milford Graves, Bill Frisell, Fred Frith, Bob Ostertag, Jon Gibson, Christian Marclay, Annie Gosfield, Eugene Chadbourne e moltissimi altri.
Tracking The Odds: The Roulette Concert Archive is a monthly hour-long radio special produced by Roulette Intermedium (roulette.org) and broadcast in partnership with Wave Farm’s WGXC 90.7-FM and Standing Wave Radio. The broadcasts feature selected highlights from Roulette’s New York experimental music space dating from the early 1980s to the present. Thousands of rare, formative, and often unheard recordings by innovators and adventurous musicians populate the archive. Tracking The Odds airs the fourth Monday of the month from 3 p.m. to 4 p.m. and is archived at wavefarm.org.
