Nels Cline: Intrepid Guitarist

by John Kelman
August 19, 2004

Some musicians lead double lives, working in a couple of seemingly disparate contexts that still manage to come together into a cohesive musical vision. Intrepid guitarist Nels Cline has led far more than two, involved in everything from the acoustic Ralph Towner-informed work of Quartet Music to the post-punk of Mike Watt. His own work is ...

A Fireside Chat with Nels Cline

by AAJ Staff
October 29, 2003

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

August 12, 2002

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" ...

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: Destroy All Nels Cline

Read "Destroy All Nels Cline" reviewed by AAJ Staff

by AAJ Staff
June 1, 2001

As you might guess from the title, nihilism reigns supreme on Destroy All Nels Cline. Guitarist Nels Cline has made a personal mission out of exploring the full range of improvised music: his career is dotted with explorations of noise, rock, free jazz, and straight-ahead swinging jazz, not to mention all the points in between.
