Nels Cline shared this about the band and the music: “the Consentrik Quartet is much more of a jazz group, if I dare use that word. I wanted to have the music reflect the players, and have the players come forth so that everybody is able to hear them and enjoy their lucidity and their mastery. The music is like a love letter to the Brooklyn improvised-music scene. “My dream starting in the mid-’70s was to live in New York City and play music there. I didn’t do it until 2009, when I met Yuka Honda, and I thought, ‘Whoa, I guess I’m finally doing this.’ But I was very happy to be a part of this community. And I’m still happy about it.”

The Consentrik Quartet features Cline on guitar, Ingrid Laubrock on saxophone, Chris Lightcap on bass, and Tom Rainey on drums.
