Watch Three Full Sets Of Medeski Martin & Wood Jamming In Jamaica

When jam band moe. announced the lineup for their annual Tropical Throe.down festival, the inclusion of Medeski Martin & Wood certainly caught everyone’s eye. 2016 marks the band’s 25th anniversary, and they got things off on the right foot. With three sets over three consecutive nights at the beautiful Jewel Paradise Cove Resort in Runaway Bay, Jamaica, MMW let loose with their patented brand of free jazz improvisation.

Fortunately, as Little Feat was also performing at the festival, that band’s archivist Chris Cafiero was on hand filming all of the sets, alongside another taper Steve Wilner. The multi-camera angles really present a dynamic performance, showing MMW throwing it down along the waves!
