Shane Cooper and the Dinaledi Chamber Ensemble // Nate Wooley: “Columbia Icefield“

Nate Wooley uses “Columbia Icefield” to put his own distinctive spin on ambient music, with disruptive details that generate an exquisite tension marked by harmonic dissonance and atmospheric turbulence. Bassist and composer Shane Cooper, a ubiquitous figure in Johannesburg’s creative music scene over the last decade, debuts this brand-new project at Jazzfest Berlin 2021.
