Medeski, Scofield, Martin & Wood: Juice
by Troy Collins
For over two decades, keyboardist John Medeski, percussionist Billy Martin and bassist Chris Wood's abiding fascination with the endless possibilities of groove-based music has taken them from intimate jazz clubs to outdoor festival stages. Their eclectic efforts have included a number of high-profile collaborations; the most prolific and successful has been with esteemed guitarist John Scofield. ...

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 ...
