Jazz
Recorded at Pilot Studios, New York, New York on May 25 & 26, 1999.
Nels Cline (acoustic & electric guitars); Zeena Parkins (acoustic & electric harps); Mark Dresser (acoustic bass); Billy Mintz (drums)
Nels Cline's improvisational guitar expertise has crossed musical boundaries--the avant/noise-rock of Mike Watt, Thurston Moore and The Geraldine Fibbers, and the probing jazz ensembles of Tim Berne, Vinny Golia, and Gregg Bendian have all been enriched by his vibrant, unpredictable sound. Though most of the tunes here are by Cline, THE INKLING is a collaborative effort, including harpist Zeena Parkins, bassist Mark Dresser, and drummer Billy Mintz.
Though THE INKLING is clearly not easy listening, Cline and company create a very inviting tapestry of free-flowing avant-garde sound. "New Old Hat" is a very pretty acoustic piece that wouldn't be out of place on a Michael Hedges or Ralph Towner album--classical picking over shifting improvisational bass. "Moth Song" shimmers like a desert mirage, and "Cork Farm" features Parkins and Dresser (each a masterful improviser) using extended techniques (unusual tuning and playing methods) to coax questing, spacious, and otherworldly reverberations from their instruments. Cline runs the gamut here, from delicate, lyrical acoustic playing to daring, blustery clusters of sound.
Alternative Press (10/00, p.87) - 3 out of 5 - "...An unusual album by virtually any standard, falling between jazz and cutting edge alt-rock..."
The Wire (8/00, p.47) - "...Nels is on virtuosic form throughout, alternating hypnotic acoustic spirals that recall the likes of UK folk guitarist John Renbourn....his group's complex textural rubbings provide him a liquid ever shifting backdrop."
CMJ (6/19/00, p.29) - "...An album filled with impressionistic musings and adventurous performances." |
