John Medeski and Billy Martin

Tuesday, May 22, 2007

Billy Martin and John Medeski (of Medeski Martin and Wood) met in 1989 and first played together in Billy's Brooklyn loft. That two-hour session led to the formation of Medeski Martin and Wood. Now they've released "Mago,' their first duet collaboration, which they share with us today.

    I have nearly all their albums. I was hooked to MMW through their fantastic album COMBUSTICATION. I remember looking for this coined word in the dictionary for a week. Then I realized that these guys are PLAYERzzz & they can "play" WITH everything...be it words or musical notes...

    Their music will last forever & it must be puzzled over for centuries to come. They are now making music for children. I can't wait to lay my hands-ears on this one!

    I dig whatever it is that these geniuses do!

    Thanks JOHN SCHAEFER for your wonderful program as usual.

    Cheers.

    Hamid.
