Originally released in 2019. "Featuring Tim Berne, Stacy Rowles, Eric Van Essen, and Alex Cline. Angelica is simply a beautiful album. Besides the leaders' excellent work on electric and acoustic guitar it features the elegant and so personal sounding alto sax of Tim Berne as well as the emotional trumpet of L.A.'s Stacy Rowles, the daughter of piano giant Jimmy Rowles. The music breathes a certain airy and cool romanticism which is at its most impressive on 'Maria Alone,' dedicated to Maria Farantouri, the great Greek lady of song. Nels Cline began to play guitar at age 12 when his twin brother, Alex Cline, took up the drums. The pair developed musically together, playing in a youth rock band they dubbed Homogenized Goo. He played with jazz musicians Charlie Haden, Gregg Bendian, Wadada Leo Smith, Tim Berne, Vinny Golia, and the late bassist Eric Von Essen, a longtime musical companion in the L.A. jazz group Quartet Music. In 1983, Nels joined the early formation of BLOC. The quintet became a Los Angeles club favorite and garnered much praise from the local press and media. Practically every major label was interested at some point but no major label seemed to have a clue how to promote the multi-talented group."
