Nate Wooley (b.1974) was born in Clatskanie, Oregon and began playing trumpet professionally with his father, a big band saxophonist, at the age of thirteen. He made his debut as soloist with the New York Philharmonic at the opening series of their 2019 season. Considered one of the leading lights of the American movement to redefine the physical boundaries of the horn, Wooley has been gathering international acclaim for his idiosyncratic trumpet language.

Wooley moved to New York in 2001 and has since become one of the most in-demand trumpet players in the burgeoning Brooklyn jazz, improv, noise, and new music scenes. He has performed regularly with John Zorn, Anthony Braxton, Eliane Radigue, Annea Lockwood, Ken Vandermark, Evan Parker, and Yoshi Wada. He has premiered works for trumpet by Christian Wolff, Michael Pisaro, Annea Lockwood, Ash Fure, Wadada Leo Smith, Sarah Hennies, Martin Arnold, and Eva-Maria Houben. For ten years, he was the editor-in-chief of their online quarterly journal Sound American, which was dedicated to broadening the definition of American music via print and online publications. His essays have appeared in The Baffler, The New York Review of Books, The Nation, and Contemporary Music Review.

Ken Filiano (born 1952) is an American jazz and orchestral bassist based in Brooklyn, NY, and featured prominently on the international new music scene. Since the 1970s, Filiano has played or recorded with Anthony Braxton, Nels Cline, Bill Dixon, Vinny Golia, Fred Ho, Paul Smoker, and Fay Victor, among many. Filiano serves on the teaching roster at the New School in New York, providing master classes in bass and improvisation and maintains an active private studio in Brooklyn. Ken has appeared on literally dozens recordings since the start of the new century, including on trumpeter Bill Dixon’s final recording, 'Envoi', as well as albums with Anthony Braxton, Connie Crothers, Herb Robertson, Michael McNeil, Taylor Ho Bynum, Nate Wooley and Anders Nilsson, among scores of others. Filiano’s performances continue to be featured at festivals and clubs around the world, including his presentations for bass soloist, alone.
