Chris Wood (jazz musician)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
- For other people by this name, see Chris Wood.
Christopher Barry Wood is the Pasadena, California-born bass player for the avant-garde jazz-funk trio Medeski Martin & Wood. He uses both upright and electric basses. Born in Pasadena, California, Chris formed MMW in 1991 with John Medeski and Billy Martin. He recently collaborated with his brother Oliver Wood to form the The Wood Brothers. Their debut release is entitled Ways Not To Lose; it was recorded at Allaire Studios in Shokan, NY in September of 2005 and was produced by John Medeski. One unique talent Wood mastered on the upright involves using a drumstick as a slide near the bridge of the bass. Wood bows between the drumstick and the bridge to produce a high-pitched, warbling sound, similar to a theremin. Chris is also known to insert a sheet of notation paper behind and between the strings of his bass which creates a unique snare bass sound.
