Episode 7 is a ghost tale! The mystery of a name that was only known to paper… and a woman who wrote hundreds of Tin Pan Alley tunes in the shadow of a pseudonym. Host Katie Harman unfolds the story of composer Irene Higginbotham, and how she - along with three other legendary women of Tin Pan Alley - helped shape American popular music in the 1930s-1950s. The episode also features a portion of Katie's interview with Broadway and cabaret star Natalie Douglas, as she shares her thoughts on the influence of Irene Higginbotham. Catch their full conversation in Virtuosa Society Podcast's companion series “Between the Bio” which dives deeper into Natalie's fascinating life and career, including the challenges, triumphs and lessons learned between the highlights in her bio.

Prolific jazz trumpeter and composer Nate Wooley today released a four-disc box set, Four Experiments– a boundary-defying “anti-instruction-manual” to developing musical technique. Praised by The New York Times for “music of disarming intimacy,” Wooley has crafted Four Experiments as a collection of study pieces where the goal is not step-by-step instruction through known methods, but a guide to charting the uncharted. With an emphasis on expanding knowledge and loosening preconceived attitudes, Wooley's “experiments” offer insights on composition and improvisation while infusing a uniquely human element: exploring the idea of authorship in contemporary music, mining the complexity of human interaction, and daring to find value in experiencing failure.

The boys take another walk down the "out" side of the street this episode, with looks at a little known outing from one of Charles Mingus' trumpet players to a twin-guitar / alto sax ensemble, to two rather challenging works on the Pyroclastic label. Mike's more patient with those efforts than Pat. Who's ready for some asbestos earmuffs? Pop matters delves into what Iggy Pop got up to with his buddy David Bowie during that infamous Berlin hang. Trevor Dunn – SEANCES; Nate Wooley – ANCIENT SONGS OF BURLAP HEROES; Greg Ward's Rogue Parade – DION'S QUEST; Ted Curson – TEARS FOR DOLPHY.
Nate Wooley was born in 1974 in Clatskanie, Oregon, a town of 2,000 people in the timber country of the Pacific Northwestern corner of the U.S. He began playing trumpet professionally with his father, a big band saxophonist, at the age of 13. His time in Oregon, a place of relative quiet and slow time reference, instilled in Nate a musical aesthetic that has informed all of his music-making for the past 20 years, but in no situation more than his solo trumpet performances.In this episode, Nate shares her background, education, and musical journey.

Nate and I talk about a lot of things in this conversation, which is one of the ones that has stuck with me the most. One sentiment in particular has been with me since we talked, Nate said “I don't like any traditions that exclude any other traditions.” This sentiment is so powerful, and applicable to many of the issues that are plaguing art in the West, from the era's bizarre obsession with authenticity and cultural appropriation policing, to the conservative orthodoxy that has made the arts sluggish and numb. Speaking to Nate, and listening to this again I feel a renewed commitment to our responsibility as artist to audiences. Too often I am part of conversations where artists' priorities seem to be pleasing other artists, critics, and pundits, while the audiences are thought of as merely bystanders. This prioritization is what I believe has steered the arts into a cultural decline. Decline, contrary to what many people will tell you, is a choice. People like Nate have refused this choice, and are instead carving a different path. I hope this conversation will help illuminate how he and his cohort are navigating this path, which adds to the Western canon, while pushing it forward, which is ultimately the only direction it can move.

In 1999 the musician Warren Ellis clambered onstage at the Royal Festival Hall to retrieve a piece of chewing gum. The gum was deposited there by Nina Simone, who had chewed it throughout her concert that night. Fast forward twenty-two years and Ellis has written a book inspired by the piece of gum, now enshrined in its own glass case, on a specially built gum plinth. Kate Molleson caught up with him to find out more about a story which goes to the heart of artistic belief, generosity and affirmation. It was a book he never really set out to write, but then couldn't not write. Following on from Music Matters' meeting with Steve Reich two weeks ago, Kate delves further into the origins, development and lasting legacy of minimalism. She talks to composers Linda Catlin Smith, Nate Wooley and Julia Wolfe to find out how a disparate group with new ideas continues to inspire, and also hears from pioneers such as Philip Glass and Pauline Oliveros about the mentality of anti-hierarchy and participation which changed the musical landscape. Laurence Crane is one of the most beloved figures in British contemporary music, his work is full of surprise, fondness, wit and wisdom. As a successor to a certain sort of minimalism, he lets us hear humble wonders in the everyday. Celebrating his sixtieth birthday this year, he met up with Kate at one of his favourite performance spaces to look over his constantly surprising career and oeuvre. And as orchestras and musical institutions look at ways to represent diversity among their ranks, Kate talks to John Shortell of the Musicians' Union, and Diversity and Inclusion consultant Chico Chakravorty, about what are the most effective ways to achieve this.
In this August 2015 conversation with Ken Vandermark, Nate Wooley discusses growing up playing in a big band on the Oregon coast, developing a musical language within technical limitations, aesthetic differences between Chicago and New York music communities, and the challenges of interpreting music by Wynton Marsalis, Anthony Braxton, and Éliane Radigue.

"Nunca te rindas", dice Keith LaMar desde la prisión, recluido desde hace 28 años en una celda de aislamiento del corredor de la muerte. El trompetista Adam O'Farrill ha compuesto un tema cuya recaudación va destinada al fondo legal de LaMar, que participa recitando su historia. En el horizonte, "Freedom First", el título del que será primer trabajo del preso junto a músicos como el pianista barcelonés Albert Marquès. (En este enlace puedes recuperar nuestra reciente conversación con Keith LaMar). "desde mi cadiera" Jesús Moreno nos propone la primera parte de un monográfico dedicado al contrabajista británico Dominic Lash. La primera se concentra en trabajos publicados durante este año 2021. En "Limulus", Lash lidera un cuarteto con Javier Carmona (batería), Ricardo Tejero (saxo alto) y Alex Ward (guitarra); "Discernment" es su encuentro con tres clásicos de la improvisación británica: John Butcher (saxos), John Russell (guitarra) y Mark Sanders (batería); "Local" recoge su encuentro en Nueva York con dos improvisadores estadounidenses: Joe Morris (guitarra) y Nate Wooley (trompeta); en "Exercises and explorations", Dominic Lash es uno de los intérpretes de la música de Christian Wolff. En el tiempo de los "Ritmos Latinos" de Anxo recupera la música de dos combos latinos en los que sobresalían los punteos de guitarra y a los que, además, rodea un halo de misterio. Desde Cuba, Wilson y su combo; desde Colombia, Julián y su combo. El "Jazz Porteño" de Alberto Varela está dedicado al cuarto trabajo de Barbie Martínez, "Here and now". Junto a la cantante, el pianista Francisco LoVuolo, el guitarrista Gonzalo Beraza, el contrabajista Walter Filipelli, el baterista Sebastián Groshaus y los saxofonistas Mauro Ostinelli y Federico Álvarez.

Trumpeter and composer Nate Wooley releases Mutual Aid Music, a double-CD of eight ensemble concertos. Mutual aid points to the concept of community action and the human drive to provide succor to our fellow humans. Mutual aid is the primary ethic of an anarchistic utopia in which each knows what they have, is honest about what they need, and is prepared to give and receive accordingly. Every human want is met by a commensurate surplus and all are lifted equally above suffering. Wooley’s Mutual Aid Music asks the musicians to take stock of their gifts and to ask themselves, in each moment, how their use of that gift will affect the community (ensemble) of which they are currently a member. 1.

Support Burning Ambulance on Patreon Get the Burning Ambulance email newsletter This episode features an interview with saxophonist Ivo Perelman, which is important because he's one of the artists on Polarity, a CD which I'll be putting out through my new label, Burning Ambulance Music, in February 2021. It's a duo album with trumpeter Nate Wooley, and it's intensely beautiful music unlike anything else you've ever heard, I promise. Pre-order your copy now. I’ve known about Ivo Perelman for about 25 years; the first record of his I heard was Cama de Terra, which came out in 1996. It was actually the very last release on Homestead Records, right before Steven Joerg, who was running the label at the time, left and started AUM Fidelity. That album featured Perelman with Matthew Shipp on piano and William Parker on bass, and they’re two of the people he’s continued to work with ever since, along with many others, including Joe Morris, Nate Wooley, Mat Maneri, Whit Dickey, and a whole slew of other players. See, Ivo’s discography is massive. He puts out albums in bunches, sometimes as many as eight at a time, sometimes three and even four-CD sets. He just recently passed the 100 release mark, which puts him in relatively rarefied company, up there with Duke Ellington, Anthony Braxton, David Murray, and very few others. It can be hard to know where to begin with his catalog, frankly, but his music has evolved a lot over time – he’s really on a lifelong creative journey, which is why he’s constantly collaborating with people in new combinations and changing his approach to the horn and just generally trying new things. So you’re probably best off starting with something recent and then moving backwards, deciding what to listen to based on who’s on a given record. He’s been living in Brooklyn for many years, but he’s originally from Sao Paulo, Brazil, and when the pandemic got rolling, he went back to Brazil, which is where we connected for this interview. It was conducted via Skype, so there are a few points at which the sound warps a little, or cuts in and out. Still, I’m sure you’ll be able to figure out what he’s saying in those moments. We had a really fascinating conversation, about his creative philosophy and his practice regimen and the role of improvisation in Brazilian music and a lot of other things. I hope you’ll enjoy listening to it as much as I enjoyed having it. If you enjoy this podcast, please consider visiting patreon.com/burningambulance and becoming a subscriber.

Norvegian Landscapes (etichetta Da Vinci) è il terzo capitolo di un trittico che a Marco Cappelli, chitarrista italiano ma da una quindicina d'anni a New York (dove è inseritissimo nella scena dell'avanguardia), è stato ispirato dal noir europeo contemporaneo: il primo album era dedicato a Fred Vargas, il secondo a Maurizio De Giovanni e questo a Jo Nesbo, autore di gialli norvegese. Cappelli lo ha realizzato con il suo Acoustic Trio, con Ken Filiano al contrabbasso e Satoshi Takeishi alle percussioni, e con ospiti Oscar Noriega ai clarinetti e DJ Olive turntables ed elettronica. Filiano fa anche parte di The Fictive Five, formazione nata nel 2013 per iniziativa del sassofonista Larry Ochs, un veterano dell'avanguardia (basti citare il Rova Saxophone Quartet). Passati in marzo dall'Italia, i Fictive Five ci sono piaciuti molto dal vivo ad Area Sismica di Forlì. In coincidenza con le esibizioni italiane è uscito il loro nuovo album Anything Is Possible (Clean Feed): in quintetto, con Nate Wooley alla tromba, un secondo contrabbasso, Pascal Niggenkemper, e Harris Eisenstadt alla batteria, i Fictive Five propongono un free di alto livello, sostanzioso, che vive dentro pezzi ben architettati, con una notevole articolazione di situazioni, data da una intelligente varietà di combinazioni fra i cinque musicisti

Por Pachi Tapiz. En HDO 495 escuchamos cuatro grabaciones publicadas en Hot Cup Records, el sello de Moppa Elliott, contrabajista, educador y líder de los imprescindibles Mostly Other People Do The Killing. Suena en primer lugar Harder On The Outside, lo nuevo del guitarrista Jon Lundbom, grabación en la que Elliott participa como contrabajista. Tras esta potente propuesta, suenan dos temas de cada uno de los discos que integran Jazz Band /Rock Band / Dance Band, que se publica en formato de doble CD y triple LP. Las tres grabaciones son muy interesantes y diversas entre sí, y muestran el trabajo de Moppa Elliott como compositor. Advancing On a Wild Pitch está interpretado por la Jazz Band y, como su nombre indica, es la propuesta jazzísticamente más ortodoxa, en la que se incluye algún tema que forma parte del repertorio de los MOPDTK, interpretado sin el carácter iconoclasta de este supergrupo. Acceleration Due To Gravity explora con la Dance Band distintas aproximaciones a la música de baile moderna, incluyendo estilos como el hip-hop o el r’n’b. Finalmente Unspeakable Garbage es una aproximación a la música rock de los años 80, en la que participa the hardest blowing man in the scene, Mister Dr. Rocks. En cuanto a las buenas compañías, en estas grabaciones participan, entre muchos otros, Jon Irabagon, Nate Wooley, Ron Stabinsky, Matt Nelson o Mike Pride. Tomajazz: © Pachi Tapiz, 2019 HDO 495 te gustará… si te gusta el jazz… si te gusta el carácter iconoclasta de los Mostly Other People Do The Killing… HDO es un podcast de jazz e improvisación (libre en mayor o menor grado) que está editado, presentado y producido por Pachi Tapiz.

Hace exactamente un año presentábamos el primer volumen del "New American Songbook", serie que propone el trompetista Nate Wooley a través del proyecto Sound American. En esta ocasión, Wooley propone revisar el concepto de cancionero USAmericano a cuatro pianistas: Matt Mitchell, Matthew Shipp, Kris Davis y Aruán Ortiz. Maestro y alumna en el pasado, compañeros en el presente: los guitarristas Joe Morris y Mary Halvorson graban su primer dúo: "Traversing Orbits". Anticipo en esta edición de 'Club de Jazz' del 14 de diciembre de 2018 de la conversación que mantendremos pronto con ellos. El bajista barcelonés Marc Cuevas recibió "Carta Blanca" del Estival de Igualada y la aprovechó para desarrollar un proyecto con electrónicas junto a Toni Saigi (piano y sintetizador), Oscar Latorre (trompeta) y Carlos Falanga (batería). El zanfonista Germán Díaz presenta junto al oboista Benxamín Otero un disco que se define por su título: "13 canciones bonitas". Toda la información y derechos: http://www.elclubdejazz.com
At age 41, Detroit native Ben Hall has already done more than most people do in a lifetime. He's a talented drummer and has worked closely with many of today's greatest improvisers such as Joe Morris, Bill Dixon, Nate Wooley and Don Dietrich. He holds an MFA from Columbia in sculpture and has shown his work all over the world. He curates and maintains the Bap-Tizum website,the world's largest online Black American spiritual collection and is the owner/operator of Broken Research Records. If that wasn't enough, he is also a talented chef/restaurant owner who's progressive business practices offer a shining light to an industry not commonly associated with strong personal ethics. Ben is quite simply one of the most extraordinary people around and I wish this conversation could have gone on for days.

She has contributed to the recordings of Fiery Furnaces, Nate Wooley, MV & EE, Thurston Moore and many many more. As it turns out, Samara and I are also neighbors.Today's talk covers a lot of ground, a lot of which centers around the peculiarities of New York City. It's a good one and I'm happy to share it with you.
Chris Forsyth is a Philly based, Jersey born guitarist of enormous range and creativity. He cut his teeth in New York City, working with improvisers like Nate Wooley, Daniel Carter, Loren Connors and Mike Pride, as well as his long running band Peeesseye. He relocated to Philadelphia in 2009 and, inspired by the likes of his friends Jack Rose and Steve Gunn, began focusing on solo guitar playing. Since then he has been working steadily with his band, the Solar Motel Band. For this talk, we get into it, discussing everything from the Grateful Dead to working in restaurants, improvising to band leading. Good shit.
