Having crossed paths around the world many times over the years, Nate Wooley and Dave Rempis finally realized their long-time intention of forming a band together in the winter of 2014, with a lineup that can only be described as stellar.  Featuring some of the leading lights of both the New York and Chicago improvised music scenes, the four members of this quartet,

all internationally acclaimed players in their own right, found a common language as a unit right from the start.  This first document of their work was made in the studio following three concerts in Manhattan and Brooklyn in February of 2014, and the inventive and a-typical flow of their improvisations shows a band operating at a higher level of creativity from the get-go. 

Meanwhile, the broad stylistic range that they tackle, from microcosmic sound pallets to passages bounding with unbridled energy, shows a new group with a myriad of musical possibilities already under its belt.   From Wolves To Whales, the debut recording by this quartet, sets the stage for a future of fruitful collaborations to come.
