Sylvie Courvoisier Trio // Nate Wooley: Battle Pieces Iv at Roulette

About

Composers Sylvie Courvoisier and Nate Wooley return to Roulette for a two-part presentation of new work. Pianist Sylvie Courvoisier’s Trio opens the evening alongside bassist Drew Gress and percussionist Kenny Wollesen. Followed by Nate Wooley’s Battle Pieces, returning to Roulette for the fourth iteration in the ever-expanding set of compositions. Given free reign to work with new ideas, Wooley picked three improvisers who embodied grace and power within the jazz world, but also displayed a profound desire to question and to push their own abilities without fear: Ingrid Laubrock on saxophones, Sylvie Couvoisier on piano, and Matt Moran on vibraphone.
