I keep hearing about Medeski Martin and Wood but, for some reason I haven’t heard much of them.

I ended up on their website, this afternoon and found this record from ‘06.

Technically, “Out Louder” is not a Medeski Martin and Wood album because John Scofield is on it so, it’s a Medeski Scofield Martin and Wood record. Savvy?

Really cool stuff happening here, a lot of improv but within tight grooves and song structures. Scofield is just ripping on this thing. Raw and funky Scofield; brutal.

Check it out at the MMW site. I particularly liked “Miles Behind”. It’s like somebody took all of the information from “Bitches Brew”, distilled it and made a two minutes-fifty three second song out of it; nice.
