Chest is an album by the American band Nels Cline Trio. It was the first release on Little Brother Records.

The album was recorded in June 1993 at Sage & Sound by Geoff Sykes (except "Beardism/Call Crouch" and "Power Ballad for Woodward A." which were recorded July 11, 1995, at New Zone Studio by Wayne Peet); however it was released only in 1996, as Nels Cline thought it too extreme for his label at the time, Enja. The artwork is by Carole Kim.

The Rocket praised Cline's "frenzied bliss and noisy prowess." - Wikipedia

Destroy All Nels Cline is an album by American guitarist Nels Cline which was released in April 2001 on the Atavistic label.

...All About Jazz stated "Take it or leave it. Destroy All Nels Cline offers surprisingly effective sonic therapy for the open-minded—and probably only a bad headache for the rest. You'll have to decide if it's going to work for you. This pair of ears gives it two thumbs up" - Wikipedia

Spirits In Fellowship by Vinny Golia, released on Nine Winds in 1977.

Alright, so I finally sat down with Vinny Golia’s Spirits In Fellowship — yeah, the 1977 one, his actual debut. Released on his own Nine Winds label, which, let’s be real, is kinda punk rock for jazz in ‘77. Recorded in Venice, CA. October ‘77. Smells like patchouli and rebellion. And man, this thing? It’s not background music. You don’t put this on while folding laundry unless you wanna stab your socks with a fork. First off — the lineup. John Carter on clarinet? YES. Roberto Miranda on bass? Double yes. Alex Cline on drums? Okay triple yes. And then Vinny himself doing… like… everything else? Tenor, baritone, piccolo, flutes, recorders, sho (what even IS a sho? I had to look it up), percussion. Dude’s basically a one-man woodwind circus...

The Inkling is an album by American guitarist Nels Cline which was released in May 2000 on the Cryptogramophone label.

The Allmusic review by Rick Anderson awarded the album 4 stars out of 5, stating "Melodically, Cline is clearly influenced by Derek Bailey, but his tone and execution are all his, and his compositions reward the effort it sometimes takes to follow them. Recommended"...JazzTimes' Bill Milkowski noted "Nels Cline is normally known for his distortion-laced banshee wail on electric guitar, but his Inkling quartet affords him the opportunity to communicate on a softer dynamic with Mark Dresser's contrabass, Billy Mintz's drumset and Zeena Parkins' harp. The result is at times gentler, though no less creative, than his more electrified endeavors" - Wikipedia

Nels Cline - Consentrik Quartet

This starts off relatively meandering, then in the second track, The 32, a bass groove kicks in, and there's no surprise that was the single... it's interesting how much this bounces between the two modes.

One track, Satomi, was specifically written for Deerhoof's Satomi Matsuzaki.
