Medeski Martin & Wood has endured since 1991, taking them to every corner of the globe. MMW’s unique style of rhythmic, groove-based jazz has allowed the trio to expand its fan base beyond the core audience of enthusiasts most often attributed to a jazz ensemble. MMW have shared the bill with groups such as The Roots, Beck, A Tribe Called Quest, Ray Charles, Hermento Pascoal, and Phish, frequently appearing in venues unavailable to most jazz artists. MMW entertain at high energy summer music festivals such as Bonnaroo, Montreux Jazz Festival, and Austin City Limits, as well as concert halls such as the Kimmel Center and The Chicago Symphony Center. MMW recently released their 10th studio album, End of the World Party (just in case), on Blue Note Records. A collaboration with producer John King, one half of the lauded Dust Brothers production team.
