Medeski Martin & Wood: Medeski Martin & Wood: Radiolarians III
by Doug Collette
Bonded as if in a purposeful and passionate quest to unite the opposites of discipline and spontaneity, the Zen masters of modern jazz known as Medeski, Martin & Wood have now completed The Radiolarians Series, an eighteen-month endeavor in which the trio composed new original material, embarked on tour to road test it, and then immediately ...
Medeski Martin & Wood: Radiolarians II
by Doug Collette
Notwithstanding the noir ambience of the closing cut, a piano jazz trio reading of “Baby Let Me Follow You Down," Radiolarians II assaults more than it insinuates. As such, the basis of Medeski Martin and Wood's long-term concept--road-testing new original material prior to recording it in the studio--manifests its virtues more readily here than on its ...

Medeski, Martin & Wood: Radiolarians I
by Doug Collette
The concept behind Medeski, Martin and Wood's Radiolarian Series isn't wholly new to the forward-thinking trio. They spent the better part of a year or more playing pieces live that would come to comprise their Blue Note adieu, 2004's End of the World Party (Just in Case) (2004). But this yearlong project involves a quicker turnaround ...

Medeski, Martin & WoodRadiolarians IIndirecto Records2008 Devised for commercial effectiveness, the traditional record label model is precisely defined: artists write new music, then record that music, then market and tour to spread the word and generate sales. The model is predicated on compartmentalization and a ...
Medeski, Scofield, Martin & Wood: Out Louder
by Chris May
I got to the Medeski, Martin & Wood party late and left early. Combustication (Blue Note, 1998), a funk gumbo masterpiece with a generous side order of knowing jazz references, was and remains a satisfying meal. But neither The Dropper (Blue Note, 2000) nor Uninvisible (Blue Note, 2002) did it for me: the episodic, cut and ...

Medeski, Scofield, Martin & Wood: Out Louder
by Doug Collette
During the early 1990s, Medeski, Martin & Wood conjured up a heady, groove-oriented style that coincided with the increasingly rhythm-oriented approach John Scofield was developing. A year before the trio made the leap to Blue Note, those parallel paths intersected in 1998: MMW accompanied the guitarist in the studio on A Go Go (Verve), and they ...
Medeski, Scofield, Martin & Wood: Out Louder
by John Kelman
It's been nearly a decade since John Scofield hooked up with jam band favorites Medeski, Martin and Wood for A Go Go (Verve, 1998), an album that singlehandedly placed the guitarist on the radar of a younger and enthusiastic demographic. Given that Scofield wrote all the material, A Go Go was unequivocally his project. On the ...
Medeski, Scofield, Martin & Wood: Out Louder
by Troy Collins
A far cry from this quartet's previous encounter, Out Louder is a summit meeting for all four players. Where 1998's A Go Go (Verve) found the trio performing as guitarist John Scofield's backing band, here the working relationship is far more collaborative. The added grit and gristle, along with the more extreme outside elements, demonstrate Medeski ...
