Jazz avant-gutbucket saxophonist/composer/conceptualist Matana Roberts's Coin Coin project, tracing and reflecting on the roots and branches of African-American culture (she'd probably say American culture plain — and it's certainly true that you can't have one without the other) has produced some of the best, most thought-provoking music — that also makes you want to move — that's come along over the last several years. She's up to Chapter 4, focusing on Memphis, and there's no reason in the world to expect it to be any less great than the preceding three.

MAKE A NIGHT OF IT: Under one name or another, 9 has been delighting the neighborhood for decades with some of the best pita you've ever tasted and toppings worthy of the bread.
