Kinloch Nelson Trio - review

Postby fenderbender171 on Mon Sep 28, 2009 10:19 am

Heads up, RGC'ers - Thought I'd contribute an unsolicited review of the Kinloch Nelson jazz trio at the Little Theater Cafe this past Saturday evening (9/26/09). Their two hour set swung hard (and easy) from start to finish, and even included a "hang ten / toes to the nose" surf medley for the enjoyment of those attendees longing for an Endless Summer. Kinloch's sidemen (bassist Dave Arenias & drummer Bill Blind) amply supported the "casual" flair of the proceedings with fine backing and creative soloing. Decidedly un-casual :D was the enthusiastic cheering section of appreciative listeners at one particular table who enjoyed the trio's treatment of tunes such as Hot Toddy, Canadian Sunset, Georgia On My Mind, Summertime, and many others. (Had I at the time anticipated contributing this, I would have taken some notes and included more song titles.)
So, for the price of a slice of strawberry cream cake and a couple of bucks in the band tip jar, I was treated to an extended lesson on chord voicings and placement, improvisation, tone change by picking/strumming at different positions between neck and bridge, and tasteful use of reverb, delay, and eq effects. Kinloch's modified twin pickup archtop cutaway electric and his amplified nylon stringer sounded bright and full running through his P.A. head and speaker. I got the impression from a comment I overheard that he switched to lighter gauge strings on the electric for this outing.
So....if you have the chance to catch the trio in the future, I highly recommend giving them a listen.

I wish I lived a little closer to the city; or at least didn't have to work so much! I would love to come out and watch something like that! But I guess you can't win 'em all, eh?

John, I enjoyed this spontaneous article! Nice to see a new style! Would you mind if I post it on the website? Kinloch would probably be able to give you a play list or at least some of it. Let me know if you would be interested in doing more reviews for the club. I would love to add more writers to the mix for everyone's benefit. You can answer here or by e-mail.
