wow~! This is my first discovery of these guys and i must say im blown away!

Bravo. A brilliant performance, much praise for Billy Martin, such an emotional yet refined style. MMW defines musicianship, within and beyond the boundaries of rock and jazz

I love these guys. I was put onto them by a friend of mine several years ago. I would really like to see them live. They are truly inspiring to an aspiring jazz musician.

They use to play at a club I worked at in the 90s blew my mind each set. I was a die hard metal hardcore music fan too so not really my thing but damn they used to F’ing bring it brother!!!

ahhhh it feeels sooo gooood.

grooving in the pocket!! this guys are genius!

I simply love MMW

this song puts me in my happy place

Thank you, MMW!

PRECISION BASS IN JAZZ!!! LOVE IT!!!

I saw them live once back around 92ish. They opened for Phish. Saw them again at Austin City Limits 09 and they were just as great, if not better. Still an amazing live band.

your groove is tearing apart my insides

its always good

I love their fusion of jazz and funk - it's relaly nice, very improvisational yet very technical at the same time

My Lord is that Wurlitzer off the charts.

love seeing them live, john medeski is a madman

the best video of mmw

the bass guitar feels like im flowing in cold water and having the best time of my life!

it's verry nice! I love it!

This is sweaty socks after gym class funky

amazing as usual! Go MMW!

I would say considering all the great instrumental acts out there, all the monster jazz musicians who are just scraping by.... these guys are among the most appreciated. All 3 are millionaires. They deserve it .......their killin' !

this stuff 's gonna crunch your brain...baby!

Good Lord yes. Stanton Moore and Billy Martin set quite a similar feel now that you mention it. So good. Good call.

coooooool ... very cooooooooolllllll

Fantastic. I hope to see them in Montreal soon. 'been a while ...

que zapaaaadoo el tecladistaaaaa!!!!!!!!!

The funk is in us all, brother!

nothing it's better than listening to this while i smoke a giant Joint

only found one video with that search and no Wiggly's Way, BUMMER

good song

i love his bass

yeah!

so unbelievable.

love the bass

Martin is such a good drummer !!!!!!

They feed each other so out there but so in tune together

amazing!!

muy buen trio , very good

i am going to see MMW in israel toniiiiiiiiiiight anyone else coming :)

that is such a crazy funky Nerd Music

Ladies and Gents! Medeski Starr & Wood!

I agree! I own both. :)

... goddamn musicianship at its finest

I can hear echos of pioneer albums like Miles Davis´ "In a Silent Way" in their sound. They´re very talented musicians.

@btfink This is a part of their Umbria Jazz Festival appearance. If you sniff around You should find it somwhere :)

that is so funky. It is over flowing with funk, all over the floor. Who is going to clean all this funk up? John Scofield?

I’m afraid to report that John Scofield has only increased the magnitude of the funk. Cleanup at this point is impossible

This is CREMITA DE LA BUENA!

@rootsradicals87 there is an album version...afraid I cant think of it off the top of my head...but its out there.

great band. they're so amazing live. a computer screen just doesn't do them justice.

It's like Soft Machine in the sixties.

wow

Yeah... they played 3 or 4 shows there. One of the shows was at Teatro Mancinelli in Umbria.

I'm thinking about all those outstanding artists that can go as far as the human being allows in speed and technique but lack of musical "good taste" I listen to this and rethink... virtuosity CAN sound good!! and how good!!

I keep coming back for the Wurli part at about 3:05. Funkaaayyy

Ya you may be right about that. But their doing well for sure.........they don't worry about money. Tell me about this camp in New York. It sounds awesome.

Medeski Martin & Wood big time

@Deltarogers The Wurlitzer actually has an awesome feel to it since it uses hammers on steel reeds to produce the sound which tends to be warmer than Rhodes. Cheers :)

How freakin good is Billy Martin

The Wurlitzer is running through an envelope follower low-pass filter, followed by a distortion box. Any brands will do it. I used to have a Electro-Harmonix Doctor Q and MXR DistortionPlus that I used with my Model 200. Or my flute, for a really sick sound... If you put the distortion before the filter, it sounds more like a synthesizer.

hey there's a farfisa compact deluxe up there!!! cool!!

What sounds better? Martin and Wood playing with Medeski :3

@negritus hey, great!!! thanks a lot!

it's so difficult to play so few notes and sound so colourfull... thanks for sharing

I wish I could find a live clip of Wiggly's Way!!!!!!!!

No, it's at the Umbria Jazz festival, 2001

sick

Música!

Wait until you hear the good stuff >:)

@SonOfSconnie40s hahahaha! niceeee

What is he running his rhodes through? Soundsphat!!!

That's a Wurlitzer, not a Rhodes

awesome fat sounding bass

Its a Wurlitzer and a B3. Sorry had to.. but you're right.

jesus.... thats about as tight as a drummer and bass can get 3:06 mesmerizing

how do you know?

someone has to have the full video of this set - if they do......they should message me

@goldteefforerbody the album version is called big time, and its off the album "The Dropper" afraid i like this version better though, i just really like the intro.

@Deltarogers you get the point ;)

This is awesome. I wish i could hear the bass better, maybe it's these rinky-dink laptop speakers.

Cory Hughes go to control and set your EQ to Bass Booster.

Someone needs to upload the video from 1993 where he (and the other two) had long hair!

🆙

I'm not a big fan of the whole jam band concept, but there's no denying that these guys are monsters when it comes to music.

jaw dropping... anyone care to name all the keyboards medeski is using here?

doctor medeski ftw.

fuckin awesome sound hit you in the face dumptruck bass and sticky, wet keys

come back to columbus real soon!

The best bass tone I've ever heard. How do I get my p bass to growl like that??

Everything Andy Doubletrouble said. You might also want to look into getting over-wound pickups for a nice hot signal, raise your action and thump the hell out of the strings. I'm pretty sure this isn't what Chris Wood uses, but strings-wise I got really good results with Di'adarrio (spelling?) nylon tapewounds. Now go forth and groove!

is this song theirs? i looked it up on my pirate downloaded discography and there is no studio version of this song. It never crossed my mind because this piece here is full of magic

Que lenha!

@rocketman676 or john scofield perhaps?

@santico666 exactly

When do these guys join up with Jeff Beck?

@MattFinstein haha i wish they were millionaires, they rlly do deserve it, i know when they tour nowadays they have a personal chef with them since back in the day they would sleep on ppl's floors so maybe its about what they put they're money towards but when i had the amazing opportunity to attend their camp in new york state they're cars weren't exactly mercede benzes.....

... unless he's playing a detuned Wurlitzer, then you get a headache after about 30 min

really? cuz you can hear it pretty easily in this one.

Is from the Teatro Mancinelli show, 2001?

I just came

sly effort = big achievment

@MattFinstein are they really?? god i hope so.
