Some  indie musical journeys are written in the blood. Chris Wood, the Grammy-nominated bassist and co-founder of The Wood Brothers, has spent a lifetime navigating the deep currents of American roots music — from his early immersion in jazz music  at the New England Conservatory, where he studied under legends like Dave Holland, to co-founding the groundbreaking avant-jazz trio Medeski Martin & Wood, to building something entirely different in music history and deeply personal alongside his older brother Oliver.

Join Buzz Knight with Chris Wood from the inspiring iconic band The Wood Brothers — Chris, Oliver, and drummer/multi-instrumentalist Jano Rix — have carved out a singular place in the American musical landscape, blending folk, gospel, blues, and jazz into something that feels both timeless and alive. It’s the kind of music that grows out of a shared history, raised on their father’s record collection and the sounds of Lead Belly, Josh White, and Joan Baez drifting through the family home in Boulder, Colorado.

In this encore  Takin A Walk music history podcast, Chris Wood takes us back inside the story — the brotherhood, the craft, the improvisation that keeps it all fresh.
