Nels Cline: Coward
by AAJ Italy Staff
Non sappiamo a cosa faccia riferimento il titolo di questo album in perfetta solitudine del geniale chitarrista californiano Nels Cline. Di sicuro, questo fantasioso interprete della chitarra moderna non è un vigliacco. Anzi, si potrebbe dire che è un avventuriero sempre pieno di risorse e di energie che sembrano derivare dalla spiccata curiosità intellettuale che gli ...
Alex Cline: Continuation
by AAJ Italy Staff
Dopo alcuni anni di silenzio discografico come leader (i suoi ultimi due lavori, Sparks Fly Upward e The Constant Flame sono rispettivamente del 1999 e del 2001) Alex Cline torna con uno dei migliori album della sua carriera. Sceglie compagni di viaggio nuovi, con l'eccezione del violinista Jeff Gauthier che ha quasi sempre collaborato con i ...
Nels Cline: Coward
by Stuart Broomer
Few guitarists cover the sheer range of Nels Cline, moving between genres from folk and rock, as a member of Wilco, to free jazz, with Vinny Golia and Gregg Bendian among others, to his own highly eclectic projects that impinge on all of these categories. Coward is a solo record, in the sense ...

Since being recruited by Wilco in 2004, guitarist Nels Cline has enjoyed a level of notoriety previously unimaginable for an avant-garde instrumentalist. Cline's career actually dates back to the late seventies, when seminal efforts with his twin brother percussionist Alex Cline, multi-instrumentalist Vinny Golia and bassist Eric von Essen cemented his reputation as a figurehead of ...
Alex Cline: Continuation
by John Kelman
It's been a long time since percussionist/composer Alex Cline last released an album under his own name. 1999's Sparks Fly Upward and 2001's The Constant Flame (both on Cryptogramophone), culminated his evolving Alex Cline Ensemble, combining measured spontaneity with long-form writing that, in its near-classical approach to compositional development, was a unique confluence of form and ...
Nels Cline: Coward
by John Kelman
Watching guitarist Nels Cline attack his electric axe with an egg whisker at his 2005 International Festival Musique Actuelle Victoriaville performance helps explain the perennial question of how he does what he does, though no single performance sheds a strong enough spotlight on the chameleon-like guitarist's skill. Even when all the guitars and effects used on ...
