Nate Wooley
Nate Wooley is a trumpeter in the jazz, improv, noise and new music scenes, performing solo and with a wide number & variety of collaborators including Ken Vandermark, Anthony Braxton, John Zorn, Evan Parker, Ingebrigt Håker Flaten, Fred Frith, Chris Corsano and Peter Evans. Wooley is considered to be on the leading edge of redefining the limits & sounds of the trumpet, transforming & extending the vocabulary & reach of the instrument, a fact cited by critics & peers alike.
Wooley is the the curator of the Database of Recorded American Music and the editor-in-chief of their online quarterly journal Sound American.
Ken Vandermark
Ken Vandermark, a MacArthur Fellow (1999), is one of the best saxophone & clarinet players playing right now in any genre. As leader or a member, Vandermark has been part of many groups such as The Vandermark 5 (with Jeb Bishop, Fred Lonberg-Holm, Kent Kessler, Dave Rempis), Spaceways Inc. (with Hamid Drake, Nate McBride), Free Fall Trio (with Ingebrigt Håker Flaten & Håvard Wiik), Flying Luttenbachers (with Weasel Walter) and NRG Ensemble, playing in a wide range of genres, namely jazz, free improvisation, funk, rock n roll, noise, et al. A gifted arranger & improviser, Vandermark proves, like his frequent collaborator Nate Wooley on trumpet, that there is still much to be heard & gained from the saxophone & clarinet.
