Nick Mazzarella Trio

Nick Mazzarella is a singular voice in a late generation of free jazz formalists. The 31-year-old devotee of the alto saxophone spends days in a shop repairing woodwinds and nights playing gigs at diverse venues across the Chicago jazz and improvised music scene. In less than a decade, working with the likes of Rob Mazurek, Dana Hall, Ken Vandermark and The Eternals, he has quickly established himself as a vital contributor to the city’s creative music lineage. Far from just a sideman, Mazzarella works primarily as a leader, composing prolifically for an array of ensembles that express his conceptual versatility and showcase his distinctly robust alto sound.
The most developed of Mazzarella's many active projects is his trio with bassist Anton Hatwich and drummer Frank Rosaly. Over 7 years of persistent activity, the Nick Mazzarella Trio has built an exceptional rapport and achieved near-telepathic interplay in performance.

“…Nick Mazzarella plays with a fearsome intensity.”

– Paul Acquaro, The Free Jazz Collective
