The Thirteenth Assembly: (un)sentimental
by Sean Patrick Fitzell
The Thirteenth Assembly was founded as a touring collective that appeals to promoters' predilection for booking multiple acts on a single night. Guitarist Mary Halvorson, violist Jessica Pavone, cornetist Taylor Ho Bynum and drummer Tomas Fujiwara have longstanding duo and trio permutations and to end their concerts, they convene as a quartet and have forged a ...
Mary Halvorson - Reuben Radding - Nate Wooley: Crackleknob
by AAJ Italy Staff
C'è qualcosa di profondamente “politico" nella musica del trio Crackleknob, composto equilateralmente dalla chitarra della sempre più autorevole Mary Halvorson, dal contrabbasso di Reuben Radding e dalla tromba mutante di Nate Wooley. Se uso questo termine, ben conscio tra l'altro di venire probabilmente frainteso, lo faccio non perché nelle intenzioni dei tre musicisti ci sia un ...

This program thus has a lot to live ...
Jon Irabagon with Mike Pride: I Don't Hear Nothin' But The Blues
by Mark Corroto
Without playing “name that tune," it is easy to mistake Jon Irabagon and Mike Pride's one song, 48-minute recording for one by Bill Laswell's Massacre. Same energy, same intensity, and volume, lots of volume. Funny, because this is an acoustic duo between saxophone and drums, while Massacre is a trio of drummer Charles Hayward, ...

Nate Wooley: Throw Down Your Hammer and Sing and Crackleknob
by Clifford Allen
Two recent discs featuring trumpeter-composer Nate Wooley explore improvisational language through non-traditional approaches, both collective and solo. Some of that expansion includes electronics and electro-acoustic blur, such as on Throw Down Your Hammer and Sing (joining Wooley with cellist Fred Lonberg-Holm and bassist Jason Roebke). Unisons and parallels also factor in both of these drummerless trios, ...
Mary Halvorson, Reuben Radding & Nate Wooley: Crackleknob
by Troy Collins
A compelling example of evenhanded group improvisation, the self-titled debut of the collective trio Crackleknob demonstrates the sort of congenial rapport fueled by longstanding friendships. Up and coming improvisers on the nascent Brooklyn scene, guitarist Mary Halvorson, bassist Reuben Radding and trumpeter Nate Wooley first played as a trio four years ago. Since then, they have ...
