Medeski, Martin, Metzger & Cline
When four musicians known for constantly reshaping the language of improvisational music come together, the results are anything but predictable. John Medeski, Billy Martin, Nels Cline, and Scott Metzger convene as a powerhouse quartet rooted in deep listening, spontaneous invention, and an unshakable groove.
Medeski and Martin—longtime collaborators whose work has helped redefine the modern jazz-funk continuum—bring decades of rhythmic and harmonic chemistry, while Nels Cline’s expansive guitar vocabulary and Scott Metzger’s sharp, shape-shifting approach add fresh angles and kinetic energy. Drawing freely from jazz, rock, funk, and experimental traditions, this collaboration thrives in the moment, where structure and surprise coexist and the music unfolds with urgency and intent.
