Guitarist Nels Cline is such a questing, broad-ranging musician that maybe it's time to stop holding against him that he made his name in a boring rock band.   Maybe.  This suite sets passages of John Cage's characteristically Cagean (and very fetching) letters to his artistic and life partner Merce Cunningham (you read them and wish Cage were your lover).  It doesn't hurt that Downtown Harp Goddess Zeena Parkins is in the ensemble.

MAKE A NIGHT OF IT:  Oops, gotta go to Kind of Soul.
