Description
[Machine Translation] MMW, the New York Jazz scene's most talented group, is releasing their second album "Organic Groove" on Contra-Read and will be touring Japan! Medeski, Martin & Wood ( MMW ) is a New York Jazz scene phenom, John Medeski ( key ), Chris Wood ( b ), Billy Martin ( ds,per ). This unique jam/improv scene trio has been consistently improving their own playing techniques and pursuing their own dedicated creativity for the past 18 years since their formation. While adhering to the old-fashioned jazz format of a piano or organ trio, it is extremely difficult to categorize their music, which spans jazz, rock, contemporary music, classical, world music, and club music, into any specific genre and to contain it within any scene. It is a difficult task to categorize their music into a specific genre and to contain it in a scene. In particular, their thrilling live performances, in which they freely and intuitively transform their style in a stream of improvisation, drag us into a supreme groove that takes us to various scenes from outer space to the depths of the earth, make any discussion of genre itself seem like a fool's errand. The trilogy from the Grama Vision era ("It's a Jungle in Here" ('93), "Friday Afternoon in the Universe" ('95), and "Shack-man" ('96)), which was released in the chaotic US jazz scene of the early 1990s, emerged from an underground scene that was influenced by New York loft jazz. Shack-man" ('96)) were welcomed by younger listeners who were looking for a more genre-less and exciting sound than the core jazz fans. In 1998, the band signed a contract with Blue Note, a prestigious jazz label, and released "Combustication," "Thedropper," and "Uninvisible," which established its position as a pioneer of the jam band boom on the live circuit. However, despite these accomplishments However, the reason why MMW is still regarded as "outliers" in the music scene despite their achievements is that they are constantly pursuing new and untested methods of expression, and continue to develop in a way that deviates from the realm of jazz and jam listeners, who are supposed to be "good listeners" of free musical expression. The Radiolarians project is a symbol of this. The timing of its release and sometimes its

Evolution in Revolution / MEDESKI MARTIN & WOOD
ニューヨーク・ジャズ・シーンの異能MMW、至高のグルーヴがコントラリードからリリース!Organic Groove 復活第2弾 MEDESKI MARTIN & WOOD そして日本ツアーが決定!!ニューヨーク・ジャズ・シーンの異能、ジョン・メデスキ(key),クリス・ウッド(b),ビリー・マーティン(ds,per)によるメデスキ、マーティン&ウッド(MMW)。このユニーク極まりないジャム/インプロシーンの金甌無欠(きんおうむけつ)トリオは、結成から18年間一貫して、自らの演奏技術の研鑽と、ひたむきともいえる創造追求を繰り返して来た。ピアノもしくはオルガン・トリオという、古型的なジャズ・フォーマットを貫きつつも、ジャズ、ロック、現代音楽、クラシック、ワールドミュージック、クラブミュージックなど、縦横無尽に広がる彼らの音楽を特定のジャンルにカテゴライズし、何らかのシーンに封じ込めるのは至難の業だ。特に即興の流れの中で直感的にスタイルを自由に変容させ、宇宙から地底の奥底まで様々な場面に引きずり回し至高のグルーヴに誘うスリリングなライヴ演奏は、ジャンル的な議論そのものが愚行のように感じられる。ニューヨークのロフト・ジャズの流れを汲む地下シーンから登場し、90年代初頭の混沌としたUSジャズ・シーンで発表したグラマヴィジョン時代の3部作(「It's a Jungle in Here」(93)「Friday Afternoon in the Universe」(95)「Shack-man」(96))はコアなジャズファンよりも、よりジャンルレスで刺激的な音を求める若いリスナーに歓迎された。スタイルを確立し、98年にはジャズ・レーベルの名門、ブルーノートと契約し「combustication」「THEDROPPER」「Uninvisible」と名盤を量産し、ライヴサーキットの中で、ジャム・バンド・ブームの先駆け的存在としてその地位を不動のものにした。しかしこれだけの実績を持ちながら、MMWが今なお音楽シーンで「逸(そ)れ者」扱いされる理由は、常に未開の表現方法を追求し、自由な音楽表現の「良き聴き手」だった筈のジャズやジャムのリスナーの領域からも逸脱する発展を続けているからに他ならない。その象徴と言えるのが【Radiolarians】プロジェクトだ。リリースタイミングや時にはその内
