Medeski Martin and Wood: Zaebos: Book of Angels, Vol. 11
by Graham L. Flanagan
Just take a moment to absorb this disc's exhausting title; yeah... this probably isn't what you should pick up after drawing the name of your Erskine Hawkins-loving grandpa when figuring out whose Secret Santa you're going to be; that is, unless said grandpa has a penchant for atonal, acid-tinged klezmer-jazz. Hey, you never know. To the ...
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, Martin and Wood: Zaebos: The Book of Angels Vol. 11
by Doug Collette
Master improvisers that they are, Medeski, Martin and Wood nevertheless do nothing without purpose. Their participation in John Zorn's Masada Series is just such a decisive action. Zaebos: The Book of Angels Vol. 11 was recorded in January and March of 2008, just prior to MMW's announcement of its year-long project dubbed “The Radiolarian Series" (whereby ...
Medeski, Martin & Wood: Zaebos: The Book of Angels Vol. 11
by Troy Collins
Composer John Zorn has entered what could cautiously be referred to as his mature period. His early game pieces have given way to neoclassical works heavily influenced by modernists such as Boulez, Ligeti and Xenakis, while his Hassidic-inspired Masada projects have gained him unprecedented mainstream popularity. Masada has roots deeper than its recorded history however; before ...

Medeski, Martin & Wood: Let's Go Everywhere
by Jay Deshpande
Throughout their decade-and-a-half-long career together, Medeski, Martin & Wood have managed to straddle many difficult boundaries. They have all the trappings of a jam-band, but maintain an avant-garde appeal. They keep a large cadre of fans around the globe, even as their inventiveness and pursuit of new sounds make them seem like they should be difficult ...

Billy Martin / John Medeski: Mago
by Doug Collette
One of the primary virtues of the Medeski, Martin and Wood partnership is the fluid means by which they conduct side projects as smoothly as they interact when they play together. Billy Martin's live percussion workshops may be less farther afield than keyboardist John Medeski's production of sacred steel band The Campbell Brothers, but they are ...
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 ...
