I got anthoer CD today that I wanted you guys to hear or if you know very much about them, they are Medeski, Martin, and WOOD, These guys just rock, there music is so cool, it sounds like jazz and rock and fusion, does anyone know about these guys? Greg

Greg. I have been listening to Medeski,Martin and Wood for awhile. Check out their new acoustic cd, "tonic". It sounds great and is a lot of fun. It is different and unpredictable, yet still easy to listen to. Also, there are two great cds under the title "Bang on a Can", by various artists. They are better than M,M and W and even more far out there.

albert........... sonic excellence is a small part of the musical enjoyment we seek as you know. its nice when tghe recording team was paying attention sukch as on the planets by zubin and the LA phil. dworth seeking out on vinyl, avail paired with some wagbme and john williams on cd. one item i suggest is worth looking for is "osamu" by osamu. japanese fusion describes the style as closely as i can come. i had this disc for years before reading the personnel list. there is a female voclaising on one of the cuts that goes into the stratosphers. it turns out to bed minnie ripperton. osamu has been classified as new age, and he has since sadly fallen down that path (you cant blame a guy for making a living) but this music defied classification and still doesnt fall into new age. there other sounds on this disc which you should be able to identify; they werent made with musical instruments but they fit in with the music. happy hunting..............tr

Tommy, your right, sometime you get the music, the sonic excellence and a chance to experience unique music all at the same time. It's nice when that happens. I love reading about all this material, I have begun to search for some of it, simply based on comments from Audiogon postings.

BIbloom, thanks I`ll check those out , I really like these guys alot, its to bad I didn`t catch them sooner. Greg
