Nels Cline and his group, the Nels Cline Singers, recorded on January 6, 2012 at Le Poisson Rouge at the 2012 NYC Winter Jazz Fest. At the performance Nels was joined by Yuka C. Honda, keyboard, Scott Amendola, drums & electronics and Trevor Dunn, bass. The singers performed two long suites of songs. This is an excerpt from the first suite. Nels shows a very different musical side to him than his straight ahead playing with Wilco, and even a very different, much more abstract side, than that with Jenny Scheinman's Mischief and Mayhem, whose set immediately followed the Nels Cline Singers.
The two songs they play here are "Squirrel of God" and "Attempted," both off their 2007 album Draw Breath. I'm sure their set was fantastic. I hated to miss it.
