I think it's great that Medeski & Martin are playing occasional improv sets with Metzger & Cline, but 20 years into the Wood Bros affair maybe it's time they stop deferring to Chris and recruit another bassist for a trio (+) tour that revisits the #MMW canon while exploring new directions.

From the outside it feels like a broken three-way marriage with a cuckolded partner(s) that has flings while holding out hope their cheating spouse will return.

@BEK97 Medeski is on the new Julian Lage album, so maybe he can recruit Jorge Roeder for the Wood spot. MMR would be sick!
@NatePHedi I'll be scouting the Medeski-Roeder combo in person at a JL quartet show in April!
@BEK97 yeah I tend to agree. Made more annoying by the fact that The Wood Brothers simply suck by any objective measure. It’s not like Chris is ghosting MMW for the β€˜73 Dead. Wake up dude.

@BEK97 I've heard rumors... Possibly it's just wishful thinking. There is a correct answer to the who, imo.
