medeski scofield martin & wood - out louder

||| REPOSTED |||

.:: "Funky, infectious, brash and sometimes downright beautiful" is one way to describe Medeski Scofield Martin and Wood's second album, Out Louder. The groove-heavy trio is once again paired with guitar guru John Scofield for a mind-blowing improvisational album that continues to push their sound to new levels.

MEDESKI SCOFIELD MARTIN & WOOD OUT LOUDER It's a match made not above nor below, but rather in some altogether hipper place: John Medeski + Billy Martin + Chris Wood + guitar guru John Scofield. On their new release OUT LOUDER, they make music not of this world, yet rooted in the earth tones of jazz, funk, and blues. Music from the heart, for the mind, and made to shake the earth, not to mention the body.

Yes, this music does come from a deep, hip, strange place, and Medeski Scofield Martin & Wood are ready to take it out there and everywhere.

Out Louder is the first collaborative effort from the quartet since John Scofield's 1998 release "A Go Go" and the first release on MMW's independent label, Indirecto Records. Recorded at MMW's infamous downtown Brooklyn Studio, Shacklyn, Out Louder exhibits a raw and edgy sound that is embedded in the foundations of jazz, funk, and blues. "Out Louder's" deep grooves and sophisticated harmonies beg for closer inspection while simultaneously making you want to get up and dance.
