I don't think he's ever used any effets; it's just him, a guitar, and an amp and he gets more sounds and textures out of that then anybody else...

Heh heh...yes. Sorry. John Morris is someone I work with. That was a habit based typo. :) I meant Joe. Damn, good catch! No one else got that?

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.

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.
