Nels Cline jazzy goodness

Thanks for posting, I hadn't seen this. There's something odd about Nels playing, I've had the opportunity to see Wilco live, it bored the living shit out of me. He also plays with other guys I really like (like Julien Lage in this video), but even more important to me, with Jim Campilongo. However I can never truly enjoyed is phrasing, tone or ideas. There's an undefinable quality to his playing and the sounds his making, that I simple can't enjoy or appreciate.

I'm sorry this sounds so negative, after you posted a cool video, just can't get into this guy's playing for some reason.

Each to their own but IMHO Nels is fucking ace.

The band is excellent but Lage is something else entirely.

This line up is now playing the Vortex on Tues 24th April. The Vortex is *tiny* so don't dawdle. http://www.vortexjazz.co.uk/event/the-nels-cline-4-feat-julian-lage-jorge-roeder-tom-rainey/

That's where I met him 4 years ago. And yes, he's very tall.

He looks like my friend Dave in that pic
