The good fellows over at Wilco recently posted solo improvised sets by Jeff Tweedy, Nels Cline, and Glenn Kotche for Experimental Sound Studio on Twitch. You could go over and watch them there, but come on, you know you’d rather just hang out here and watch them all in one place.

Nels Cline With Medeski Martin And Wood

In 2014, Wilco’s Nels cline partnered with Medeski Martin and Wood to record and release Woodstock Sessions, Vol. 2. Allmusic says of the release:

“Medeski, Martin & Wood have always played well with others. They did a string of great records in collaboration with John Scofield, and many of their albums have had invited guests; DJ Logic was practically an adjunct member for a while, and they even play on an Iggy Pop album (not exactly Iggy's finest moment, but that's another matter). Nels Cline also plays very well with others. Collaboration and improvisation were his stock in trade since long before he picked up the Wilco gig, and he continues to actively guest and collaborate while leading his own Nels Cline Singers. As good as the albums with Scofield were, Nels Cline is a very different type of player, and his affinity for effects really opens up the possibilities as far as pure sound. Cline can move from spacey ambience to raging leads to swirls of electronic-sounding madness and beyond. Pairing them seems like a great match on paper but it's even better recorded live in a studio with a small invited audience. Perhaps the most amazing thing is just how well Cline fits in with MMW's M.O.”

In honor of Wilco Week here at Holiday at the Sea, here is an excellent video of a full 2016 set featuring Nels Cline with Medeski Martin and Wood live at the Auditorio Stelio Molo RSI Lugano in Switzerland as part of the Cully Jazz Festival.
