Where's the Music - Medeski, Martin & Wood

John Medeski, Billy Martin, and Chris Wood were looking to create music that reflected who they were, individually and collectively. The trio began experimenting with contemporary hip-hop beats that could swing as hard as jazz rhythms, yet remained essentially simple and propulsive, giving the musicians ample room to create hypnotic textures and sounds that were brimming with both improvisation and harmony. "In the beginning, as it is now, we went by gut instinct," says Wood. "We have a natural connection between us, as people and as musicians, and we just let things flow in whatever direction they went."

[@dr05guitar]

as good as MMW are, throw in a guitarist like Dean Brown and it would take it to a whole other level

[@ArseneWengerIsLord]

Couldn’t disagree more. IMO when Scofield plays w/them it sucks the life right out of the room.
