Trumpeter Nate Wooley, whose playing and composing skirt jazz and classical, performs and curates a mini-festival focusing (if I understand this correctly) on new music for trumpet and new music not for trumpet by composers who have otherwise written new music for trumpet.  Conceptual complication notwithstanding, these two shows present quite a list of composers, including New Music It Girl Ashley Fure; avant-garde legend Annea Lockwood;Catherine Lamb, whose serene, transporting music is informed by just intonation, Hindustani classical music, and -- she says so herself -- an openness to blandness; lyrical Brazilian Modernist Felipe Lara; and the great avant-jazz trumpeter/composer (he's also playing) Wadada Leo Smith.  Aside from Wooley and Smith, a constellation of New York New Music regulars performs.

MAKE A NIGHT OF IT:  I'm going to keep suggesting the red-hot seafood restaurant Saint Julivert Fisherie (run by the people behind the great La Vara -- New York's best Spanish restaurant -- next door), even though it's extremely hard to get a table there.
