A Fireside Chat with Nels Cline

Read "A Fireside Chat with Nels Cline" reviewed by AAJ Staff


I could refer to myself as having long been a Nels Cline enthusiast, but I cannot tell a lie. In fact, I am a recent convert, having listened to Interstellar Space Revisited (The Music of John Coltrane) in the summer of '99 (which doesn't have nearly the ring that the Bryan Adams ditty has). But I ...

The Nels Cline Singers: Instrumentals

Read "Instrumentals" reviewed by AAJ Staff


From the opening notes of Instrumentals, it rapidly becomes clear that the (entirely vocal-free) Nels Cline Singers are out to make some noise. Guitarist Nels Cline, who has eagerly straddled the divide between jazz and rock, maintains an open ear for dissonance--and this is a big reason he's received such broad recognition. “A Mug Like Mine" ...

Nels Cline: Destroy All Nels Cline

Read "Destroy All Nels Cline" reviewed by AAJ Staff

Nels Cline: Destroy All Nels Cline!

Read "Destroy All Nels Cline!" reviewed by Derek Taylor


The nihilistic title and imposing instrumentation on this disc might cause some on-the-fence listeners to cringe, or at the very least reach for the closest pair of earplugs. Others possessing ears familiar with the Cline brothers previous projects are likely to feel the tingle of an expectant grin cross their countenances. Four electric guitars and electric ...

Nels Cline: The Inkling

Read "The Inkling" reviewed by Michael A. Parker


This represents the first recording by a new group led by Nels Cline, although there are clear traces of his previous work with the Nels Cline Trio.
