He formed Medeski, Martin and Wood in 1991 with Medeski and Billy Martin. Wood also collaborates with his brother, Oliver Wood, in the band The Wood Brothers. Medeski produced their debut album, Ways Not to Lose.  He has also worked with Marc Riibot, Ned Rethenberg, John Scofield, Elliot Sharp and John Zorn.
