Guitarist and composer Todd Clouser (of A Love Electric) is a Midwest native but based in Mexico City; his music is similarly a citizen of the world with numerous genre-crossing collaborations and an ever-busy tour schedule. One of Clouser’s recurring collaborators is keyboardist John Medeski (Medeski, Martin & Wood), himself a serial collaborator who has played with a who’s who of creative musicians in the worlds of jazz, soul, rock and beyond. Clouser and Medeski are playing a few dates this month with drummer Jorge Servin, including this BlueStem Jazz matinee. The trio will focus on music from Clouser’s song suite Flowerchild (recorded with Medeski and JT Bates), a collection of new music ranging from introspectively atmospheric to rockin' out.
