Nels Cline, Coward (Cryptogramophone). Hall and Frisell have impressed Cline. Jimi Hendrix and John Abercrombie also seem to be in his DNA.

Monsters of Jazz-Influenced Rock
by Jeff Fitzgerald, Genius
And summing up last month's article on jazz as background music in 70's porno flicks, the tumescent Swede did in fact represent the rise of European influence, particularly in Fusion (as obviated by the mustache), while the naive-but-willing coed represented the collective reception of the American jazz audience.

The Complete On The Corner Sessions
by John Kelman
Much has been written about what is perhaps trumpeter Miles Davis' most controversial album, On The Corner (Columbia, 1972). Already shaken from the electric onslaught of Bitches Brew (Columbia, 1969), A Tribute To Jack Johnson (Columbia, 1970), and a series of live or, in the case of Live-Evil (Columbia, 1970), largely live releases, it was the ...
