Not that I know every guitarist out there, but do you mean Joe
Morris instead of John Morris, Kris?
Joe Morris certainly kicks ass - double threat as guitarist and
bassist.
It is very good, but doesn't do what Interstellar Space does for
me. And
clearly (with no disrespect to Nels, but more of a
comment about the sheer
genius of Coltane), Nels' articulation on the
guitar does not match
Coltrane's articulation and mastery of the
sax. Again, I don't think
anyone would deny that without
underestimating Coltrane.
I don't know much about Nels Cline, and
have not listened to all of his
material. All of it is very good from
what I have heard. I like the tracks on
the CD where he is playing
clean, more than those where he has the shreader
guitar tone.
The massive distortion gets on my nerves after a while.
I would
like to hear John Morris (guitar) and Billy Kilson (drum) doing
their
take of Interstellar Space. I saw Billy Kilson with Dave
Holland a few years
ago, and was blown away. I have never seen a jazz
drummer play with such energy
and speed. And of course, Morris
that raw jazz tone that do well with a homage
to Interstellar
Space.

>> I was not aware of this
CD with Nels. I will have to check it out. The
question is, does it
earn the title of Interstellar Space Revisited? That album
of
Coltrane's is insurpassable, allowing only remote approximations to
its
level.

masterpiece.
