Nick Zoulek (Chicago) builds worlds out of brass, breath, and reeds. Based in Chicago, Zoulek is a saxophonist whose music feels physical, visceral, and urgent. Tender one moment, tectonic the next, his sounds are simultaneously alive and mechanized. Allan Kozinn wrote in The Wall Street Journal, “Zoulek’s performance, on saxophones in every range, is stunningly virtuosic, whatever the genre.” A musician of “pure mindfulness and talent” (PopMatters), his intuitive playing results in a “no-holds barred engine of avant-garde exploration.” (Portland Press Herald).

Waco Mammoth is James David Young (bassoon), Robin Rhodes (bass), and Rohan Parthare (electronics and video).
