Medeski, Martin and Wood at the 2010 Sydney Festival
City Recital Hall - January 27 @ 9pm
The Famous Speigletent - January 28 @ 5:30
The New York trio of John Medeski (keyboard), Billy Martin (drums) and Chris Wood (bass) have performed together for nearly 20 years.
Known for their improvisational style that is influenced by hip hop, soul, funk, and the jam bands of the 1960’s, they have garnered wide appeal that has seen them support rock bands like Morphine and Los Lobos, while individually they have contributed to projects by Rickie Lee Jones and John Scofield.
Each performance sees Medeski Martin and Wood take a spontaneous journey where the destination is unknown, even to them.
The Sydney Festival runs January 9 to 30, 2010.

Thanks for the review!
You can check out the MMW Sydney Recital Hall gig, which was recorded for Jazz Up Late. Hear it tonight at 10.30pm or repeated next Monday (Feb 8) at 9pm on ABC Jazz.
For those equivocating on whether or not to M,M&W at The Famous Spiegel Tent tomorrow: Yes! Yes! Yes! They played The Sydney Recital Hall last night, and I was privileged enough to be there. Sell your grandmother if you have to, for under no circumstances can permit yourself to miss this trio!
