Earlier this month Medeski Martin & Wood completed their first tour with guitarist Nels Cline . Unfortunately for those of us stateside, the tour took place in Europe.

The ensemble explore a number of fascinating soundscapes over the course of the hour and this pristine recording lets us hear all of the jam’s dynamics. Take a listen:
