The Nels Cline Singers

I made a new musical discovery at the weekend. On Friday night I got to see the Nels Cline Singers - a jazz trio of guitar, bass and drums with not a singer among them. They are a bit avant garde-ish at times and they get out there on the edge with lots of electronic effects and obscure percussion. I know it’s not for everybody but I loved it. They are fronted by Nels Cline this quite amazing guitarist (Jazz Times recently called him “The World's Most Dangerous Guitarist” – that might be a compliment, but I can see what they were saying).

You can check out some of his work on his myspace page.
