Graham Haynes will serve as FourOneOne’s artist-in-residence from March 12 to April 15.
(Photo: David Kaufman)FourOneOne, a vibrant space in the Brooklyn neighborhood of South Williamsburg since mid-2022, has announced that Graham Haynes will be its next artist-in-residence. The project, which begins March 12 and continues through April 15, will span master classes, conversations, listening parties and performances with Robin D. G. Kelley; Adam Rudolph and Maalem Hassan Hakmoun; Vijay Iyer; Nublu Orchestra; Shakoor Hakeem and Lucie Vítková; and Momenta Quartet.
Currently based in Bahia, Brazil, trumpeter-composer Haynes is the son of jazz drummer Roy Haynes. His work, which grows out of a keen sense of New York’s many histories of music and musical movements, is enriched by lifelong immersion in global musical practices and emerging sonic forms.
FourOneOne, whose goal has been to support historically aware and rooted performance practices, began to undergo massive renovations in spring of 2023 to convert it into a more robust facility. For the time being — until at least February 2025 — FourOneOne will present events at venues all over the New York area, including Brooklyn, Manhattan, Queens and possibly other locations. The core operating principle of FourOneOne is to build community among artists and the public. A recent goal is to host in-depth, multifaceted residencies that allow for long-term and evolving relationships between important artists and New York audiences.
Haynes’ residency with FourOneOne will be the second in the new series. The project will highlight Haynes’ voyages and their artistic consequences, from his 1980s co-founding of the seminal M-Base Collective to collaborations with performers in African, Arabic and South Asian idioms; from his 1990s albums of soundscapes largely drawn from Paris’ immigrant populations to his work with New York’s drum ’n’ bass DJs; and from releases like 2000’s BPM, a marriage of drum ’n’ bass and opera, to densely layered chamber works, including the upcoming Requiem for Young Black Men Assassinated by Police in America, an evening-length performance for a 40‐voice chorus and orchestra, with an English text by Carrie Mae Weems.

“It was just that suddenly … I could hear it,” Ravi Coltrane said of an epiphany he experienced during his late teens regarding his father’s music. “And it was almost like a calling, like something saying, ‘Hey, man, come on. It’s time to get serious.’ And the first time you really tune in and dial in and focus like that, it can be very life-changing.”
