Jim Weider and Garth Hudson Reunite at the Iridium

June 25, 2012

The Band’s founding organ player Garth Hudson reunited with guitarist Jim Weilder—who replaced Robbie Robertson in the reformed version of The Band during the ‘80s—over the weekend at New York’s Iridium Jazz Club. Weilder, who was in town to perform a pair of shows with his group PROJECT PERCoLAToR, welcomed Hudson to the stage as a special guest midway through the performance. Hudson and the entirely instrumental jam-funk group then ran through a few classics by The Band, including “The Weight” and “Rag Mama Rag,” as well as a few of Weilder’s originals.
