"Witnessing Carlos Niño and Bay Area guitarist Nate Mercereau support the spry septuagenarian Idris Ackamoor a few years back at SF Jazz's Joe Henderson Lab, after an official working in that building gave me a gentle push to attend-right in the middle of Noise Pop-was an eye-opening revelation. Shakers and shells, vocal affirmations coming from Niño in his percussion corner, while Ackamoor bounced from song to song, playing rare instruments, donning an eye-catching suit."
"Later that year, Carlos Niño and Nate Mercereau popped up on André 3000's solo album New Blue Sun, a debut in several ways, coming almost two decades after Outkast went on hiatus in 2006-he's apologizing, using wordplay in titles, and flexing that breath control. But this time it's breathwork for woodwind instruments, for wanting to rap but not being able to."
Saul Williams performs with Carlos Niño, Nate Mercereau, and friends at TreePeople/International Anthem and Yoshi's in Oakland on September 30–October 1. Carlos Niño and Nate Mercereau previously supported Idris Ackamoor at SF Jazz's Joe Henderson Lab with shakers, shells, vocal affirmations, and rare instruments, creating ambient-jazz textures. Carlos Niño and Nate Mercereau appear on André 3000's New Blue Sun, showcasing inventive breath control and woodwind work. Saul Williams traverses genres from hip-hop to punk and collaborates with figures like Trent Reznor, Rick Rubin, and DJ Krust, bringing poetic and cinematic presence to live performance.
