New Jersey-based trumpeter Nate Wooley finds meaningful terrain between avant-jazz and noise aesthetics. He performs solo improvisations and leads a trio called Blue Collar with Steve Swell and Tatsuya Nakatani. Nate also works regularly with Anthony Braxton, Herb Robertson, Tony Malaby, Matt Moran, and Paul Lytton. A drummer/percussionist nearly three decades Wooley’s senior, London-born Paul Lytton is best known for his long tenure in a trio with Evan Parker and Barry Guy. His formidable yet sensitive style has been heard most notably with Barry Guy New Orchestra, London Jazz Composers Orchestra, the King Ubu Orchestra, as well as with Marilyn Crispell and Ken Vandermark. For the second set, Wooley and Lytton will be joined by bassist Torsten Müller, a great Vancouver-based improviser who expands the sonic possibilities of his instrument.
