The Nate Wooley Quintet stretches the limits of traditional context. Although the orchestration harkens back to the Blue Note recordings of Eric Dolphy, Wooley's compositions cover a much wider stylistic swath, from the jazz experimentalism and third stream sensibilities of trumpeters like Don Ellis and Shorty Rogers to the rigorous DIY canons of James Tenney, with stops at American lyricism and folk music and harsh noise along the way. Wooley has assembled a quintet of some of New York's finest and most distinct improvisors, who stomp through the compositions with precise abando.
