Nate Wooley Quintet: (Put Your) Hands Together
By Track review of "Ethyl""Ethyl" features an idiomatic tenor that differs from several other pieces on the album. Commencing with vibraphonist Matt Moran and bass clarinetist Josh Sinton's throbbing ostinato, sparkling contrasts set forth by Wooley's slurry-like wah-wah notes cast an affable outlook that generates a liquescent tonality. But the quintet breezily launches into a crisp free-bop vamp led by Sinton's torrid soloing, spiced with gravelly nuances. Energetic, linear, and sublime, "Ethyl," is designed with variances in pitch and buoyant theme-building exercises.
Wooley and associates offer brain food for the psyche's insatiable appetite. His solicitous and largely mesmeric arrangements reaffirm his mounting prominence in the boundless realm of jazz improvisation.
