Nate Wooley grew up in a fishing and lumber town in Oregon. He began playing trumpet professionally at age 13 with his father's big band, but quickly began adding "outside" influences to his knowledge of jazz. After a brief and painful stint in Denver, Nate moved to Jersey City where he is in demand as a collaborator with such diverse improvisors/composers as Tony Malaby, Steve Beresford, Paul Lytton, Anthony Braxton, Wolf Eyes, Akron/Family, and David Grubbs. His own solo trumpet work has been described as "exquisitely hostile" by Massimo Ricci of Touching Extremes Magazine (Italy).
