"The Nels Cline 4

Of all the rich and varied projects guitarist Nels Cline has pursued since his emergence as a leader in the late 1980s, his two-guitar duo with Julian Lage, documented on the 2014 album Room, ranks among the most special. â€œWhen Julian and I started playing together it kicked my ass hard,â€ Cline told JazzTimes around the time of Roomâ€™s release. â€œAt the same time it inspired me and refreshed my soul.â€ Lage, for his part, declared he had â€œfound his peopleâ€ playing with Cline: â€œAt last I found a scenario where â€¦ you could be free and adventurous, you could utilize sound and be extremely melodic and evocative.â€

The duo is still ongoing, but it is morphing and expanding. With Currents, Constellations, Clineâ€™s second Blue Note release, we hear the debut of The Nels Cline 4, made up of Cline and Lage plus the fierce and versatile rhythm section of bassist Jorge Roeder and drummer Tom Rainey. All of the music is Clineâ€™s, save for a haunting and rare Carla Bley gem from the Jimmy Giuffre 3 songbook.

Known as the lead guitarist of Wilco since 2004, and one of Rolling Stoneâ€™s â€œ100 Greatest Guitarists,â€ Cline is coming off the success of his 2016 Blue Note debut Lovers, a â€œquietly ravishing double-albumâ€ (NY Times) featuring Cline with a large ensemble conducted and arranged by Michael Leonhart that was â€œwildly inventive in its watercolored wayâ€ (Rolling Stone). On Currents, Constellations Cline embraces a sparser but edgier instrumentation, which serves the adventurous thrust of the music, brimming as it does with raw energy and wild beauty."
