Genre : jazz, post-bop, fusion Duration : 1:16:08 Starring : John Medeski, John Scofield, Billy Martin, Chris Wood Description: New York band Medeski Martin & Wood is headed in a new direction of improvised music, fully developed only in the mid 90's - the movement of so-called jam bands. For adequate translation of the term we should stop at the option of "jam bands." Jam bands are working on a thin, formerly almost imperceptible line between jazz, soul, club music, funk and rock music. The fact that they play - certainly improvised music (often much more spontaneous than mainstream jazz) elastic at the same time, almost dance ripple from the 80's funk and old organ soul jazz 60s (what in modern practice is called succinct - and, again, badly translated - catchword groove) and significantly bluesy tone. Artistes: John Medeski Country: United States Genre: Jazz Bands: «Medeski Martin & Wood» Collaboration: Zorn, John Medeski, John (John Medeski) - American jazz keyboardist and composer. Having received a classical music education, became interested in musical directions such as funk and jazz, and in 1991 formed a very popular and respected jazz trio now Medeski Martin & Wood. As a session musician has been involved with T-Bone Burnet (T-Bone Burnett), KD Lang, John Scofield (John Scofield), Iggy Pop (Iggy Pop), Macey Parker (Maceo Parker), The Blind Boys of Alabama and others. John Scofield Country: United States Genre: Jazz Style: contemporary jazz, post-bop, fusion Instrument: Guitar Recording Company: Gramavision (8), Blue Note (6), Enja (4), Verve (2), Polygram International (2), Capitol (2), CPP (2) Guitarist John Scofield has gained notoriety by playing for many years in a variety of jazz styles. He, along with Pat Metheny and Bill Frisell is one of the representatives of the "big three" of current jazz guitarists. The owner of very characteristic-based rock music sound that is often heard from distorshenom, Scofield - a first-class jazz improviser whose music is often found between the post-bopom, fusion and soul-jazz. Billy Martin Genre: Jazz, Funk Instrument: Drums Irrepressible jazz drummer, percussionist virtuoso avant-garde artist and lover of strange instruments, Billy Martin came onto the music scene in the early '80s. There are few drummers with such a relaxed African-American style of play (with the rhythms of Brazilian samba Martin manages not worse). List of teams with which he played Martin, is impressive in size, and the quality of Bob Moses (Bob Moses), Ned Rothenberg (Ned Rothenberg), John Scofield (John Scofield), John Zorn (John Zorn), The Lounge Lizards, and many others . However, the more he is best known as the drummer prolific fusion-funk trio Medeski, Martin & Wood: Billy Martin is working with keyboardist John Medeski and bassist Chris Wood in 1991.
