“I thought, ‘What am I going to do? I'm almost 50 years old … I thought, ‘Maybe Starbucks? They'll probably take somebody with no experience & I can just learn how to do it.’ And that's when Jeff called it” #NelsCline #Wilco #guitarists #GuitarSky #music #MusicSky www.guitarworld.com/artists/guit...

New #review today: "Here we have #TrioOfBloom, with #NelsCline (guitar), #CraigTaborn (keyboards), and #MarcusGilmore (drums). This is by far the most improvisational of the bands, as you might expect from having Cline on board, and he’s in full out-there mode for most of this album." #ExposeOnline #ExperimentalMusic #AvantJazz #PyroclasticRecords #jazz http://expose.org/index.php/articles/display/trio-of-bloom-trio-of-bloom-2.html

Tonight: wild-eyed free form fitting the day's mood. Tim Berne in his usual spot at Lowlands, tonight with a banger of a band: Nels f'in Cline, Elias Stemeseder, and Tom f'in Rainey. Taking things very very deep at Lowlands on a snowy Thursday night. Also Bill Frisell is here and that makes me happy.

Tonight: you never know what you're going to get at the Stone or how you'll get it. With Jorge Roeder and Nels Cline it was nearly everything imaginable in all the ways. Stellar two-man freeform, Nels was peak Nels, unhinged and then some, Roeder just as impressive. Flabbergasting and more. How freakin lucky I am!

full Denver Comes Alive lineup looks pretty amazing ~ Jan 17-18 2025 ~Cervantes

Tonight: higher plane freeform with four masters of their craft. Ben Goldberg with Nels f'in Cline, Trevor damn! Dunn, and Tom bleepin' Rainey. At the Stone, obviously.

Rolling Stone names "top 250" guitarists of all time ~ oh my that's a lot of guitar wankage

#MollyTuttle at 222 nice treat (although will go higher)
#GrantGreen only 203 is a scandal
#JerryReed 198 is practically criminal
#AdrianBelew at 118...hmmm maybe
#NelsCline at 115 low
#LouReed at 89 songwriting great yet too high
#DerekTrucks at 80 cmon on
#Trey at 53
#Jerry at 34
#Neil at 30
no #BillyStrings at all

top 50 mostly a predictable popularity contest

New #review today: "#LocationLocationLocation is a jazzy guitar trio that, for me, hits a sweet spot balancing composition and improvisation on their debut, Damaged Goods. While #AnthonyPirog’s guitar is far more mangled, both electronically and harmonically, than is common in jazz, the group’s music is clearly in the vein previously mined by groups led by #RaoulBjörkenheim, #TerjeRypdal, #SonnySharrock, #NelsCline, and others." #ExposeOnline #jazz #AvantJazz #JazzRock http://expose.org/index.php/articles/display/location-location-location-damaged-goods-2.html

A stunning 4-way brain meld channeling heady sounds from the astral plane. The immediacy of their communication and sheer depth of sonic textures/tones is just next level mastery.

It ends with a #BillyMartin free drum solo during which he must have sprouted at least 2 arms...

I just played it loud in my phones and was blown away (again)
