WOOLEY, NATE - Battle Pieces

"Battle Pieces finds Nate Wooley doing what he does best — writing for players who think like he does. Recorded live at Anthony Braxton's Tricentric Foundation in 2014, the quartet of Wooley, saxophonist Ingrid Laubrock, vibraphonist Matt Moran and pianist Sylvie Courvoisier navigates the overlap between composed new music, free improvisation, and extended technique with ease. The seams are invisible. That's the achievement."
