Born in 1983, in Buffalo, New York, Paul N Roth currently resides in Berlin. An improviser, composer, musicologist, writer, theorist, he works through a variety of means for the less-conventional, sometimes surprising declaration of sound and its organization in time, space, etc. His solo work in particular re-conceives accepted roles for the saxophone, disguising much of the instrument's long improvising history for an approach that is somehow unique and original.

Roth has traveled widely with his music, including frequent tours throughout the United States and Europe, but also in Russia, Japan, Mexico, India, Australia, North Africa, and the Middle East. He has published works on SNP Records (USA), Oak Editions (IT), AUT Records (IT), Creative Source (PT), Hail Ants (IT), Honor Roll (USA), along with a forthcoming release on Emitter Micro (DE). He additionally co-directs Earwash records (between NYC and Berlin), and serves on the curatorial team for Ausland-Berlin, one of Europe's most important venues for experimental music.

For November 19th at the Bop Stop, Roth turns towards his jazz roots, leading a trio alongside Cleveland creative personalities Aidan Plank (double bass) and Carmen Castaldi (drums).
