Saxophonist and composer Emilio Modeste performs new work for his Roulette residency.

A livestream will be available free of charge at 8pm on the day of the performance and archived for future viewing. Watch below or on YouTube.

Perhaps best known for his time performing with the late trumpet great Wallace Roney, Emilio Modeste is currently touring with the bands of Stanley Clarke, Cindy Blackman Santana, and Dezron Douglas. Equally as adept on tenor or soprano, Modeste’s singular shining tone and sense of melody creates a gravitational field that pulls in even the most reluctant of listeners. This can be most recently heard on Steve Turre’s Generations (Smoke Records) and Dezron Douglas’ Atalaya (International Anthem) from 2022, and he is featured on Stanley Clarke’s upcoming album as well. A student of the great drummer and producer Lenny White, Modeste explores endless styles of musical expression in his artistry.
