“
Medeski Martin & Wood mix new and classic instrumentation for a savvy experimental jazz sound, and they've been doing it better than anyone else for years now, with no signs of slowing down. "Undone" has enough heavy guitars and electronic touches to make it mistakable for an In Rainbows bonus cut; while the funky start-stop intro on "Coconut Boogaloo" sounds like a unheard vintage track by Booker T and the MG's.

Somewhere, someplace, someone is debating the future of live and recorded music, speaking in somber tones of changes that have made it difficult to reach consumers, of technologies that have changed society, and of the lack of creativity found in the arts. But in a small but impressive microcosm of the universe known as Medeski Martin & Wood, creativity is alive, flourishing, and filled with outlets for growth and expansion. And somewhere, whatever gods of music there might be are smiling.
Medeski Martin and Wood's story is - like most great stories - one of humble beginnings, friendship, determination, a happy ending and a very bright future.
