MEDESKI SCOFIELD MARTIN & WOOD It's a match made not above nor below, but rather in some altogether hipper, funkier place.

Music from the heart, for the mind, and made to shake the earth, not to mention the body. Medeski Scofield Martin & Wood first recorded together on Scofield's A Go Go (Verve 1998), a disc that has become a must-have classic. That project united jazz guitarist Scofield with the improvisational jazz trio Medeski Martin & Wood on material composed by Scofield and interpreted by all four musicians. OUT LOUDER
