In this collection of wiggy compositions and freewheeling improvisations, guitarist Nels Cline collaborates with innovative bassist Mark Dresser, famed jazz drummer Billy Mintz and electric harpist Zeena Parkins. Nels demonstrates his versitility and musicianship on both acoustic and electric guitars, leading this crack ensemble through previously uncharted territories. Nels was named Outstanding Jazz Artist of 1999 by Bam Magazine as well as Best New Genre/Uncategorizable Artist of 1999 at the L.A. Weekly Music Awards.
