Happy Hump Day, folks!
In celebration of this momentous occasion, I'm giving away three copies of the new Medeski, Scofield, Martin & Wood album, Out Louder. I probably should have gotten this posted a little while back when it was still in preorder, but the disc is available for order through the Medeski, Martin & Wood online store now and that's really all that matters...
"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."
I'll pick three folks at random from the comments. How sick is this album? How sick will the tour be? Discuss amongst yourselves...
Sweet Jesus, I didn't even know this thing was in the works!
As soon as these kids hit new york, I'll hit up the show and throw you some pics. This will be the shit!
Yeah, I noticed this a while back. Unfortunatley my good friend is getting married the day that they'll be in philly, so I'll miss it. Damn friends, had to pick 11/11. A Go-Go is probably in my top ten albums of all time. Can't wait to give this disc a listen, this could be the tour of the year (IMHO).
I'm in for the free copy. I could try and post some witty or/and insightful comment to get your attention but I'm going the honesty route, I'd love to get that CD.

having seen mmw a few times, the possibility of seeing msmw is mind boggling. scofield has been all over the place this year. its good to see him get around, cause everything he touches is absolutely incredible. i knew this was coming out, but thanks for the reminder.
I haven't seen MMW live in years, but I'm going to catch them at the Vic here in Chicago in a few weeks :-) I've seen MMW and Scofield separately, and I can only imagine how great they'll be together!
What, no trip down to Austin, that's disappointing, I'll have to settle with listening to the disc.
I wonder if the last track Legalize It, is the Peter Tosh song?
My husband and I love this trio and the bonus of Scofield being attached to this project is tremendous. I cannot wait to hear it.
All the best....
Can't wait to see them in Chicago. I've only listened to their track on their myspace page, hopefully the rest is great as well, and I'm sure the live take on all of it will be even more impressive.
I'd love a copy! A-Go-Go was great! I'm sure this is better!
The ablum is pretty solid. However IMO it is no where near as good as "A Go Go". I am sure the tour will be a blast.
Sweet! I'd love to check out 'Out Louder' out...especially as my only exposure to MMW so far has been thru Medeski's work w/ the Campbell Brothers and the Word.
It's great,I listened to it on a friends raphsody account. I'm def checking them out in Boston
Awesome! I can't wait to see them at the Vic.
Great album, from the tracks I've heard on satellite radio from some avant-garde jamband jazz geniuses. This album delivers some great interplay between the four musicians, and is an excellent showcase of each. Great followup to A Go Go.
The album and tour will be so sick, that fans will need to be quarantined, and the Feds will investigate claims of bio-terrorism.
Waiting for them to come to Asheville. I guess I'll just have to listen to "A Go Go" again. Unless...
Also, if you haven't already, check out a great band from Asheville -- Toubab Krewe.
I've been all about this tour since its announcement. I'll be there in Chicago.
The first time I saw MMW was back in '98 at the Classic Center in Athens, GA. It was the Combustication tour, so they played with DJ Logic the whole show. Unfamiliar with their work at the time, I was blown away with the Bubblehouse mania of an encore. I think that tune works well to suck in fans. Now that I'm more familiar with their repetoire, I'm enticed by the more experimental nuances that they bring to their performances.
The 20001201 MMW show with Trey as a guest is a killer example of the trio with a guest guitarist. Trey isn't all that inventive here, but it's still cool because it's Trey. I'm not knocking his performance here - it was all improv - but it shows how awesome MMW sounds with a creative guitarist in the mix. I expect to hear some wild rhythmic experimentation and the introduction of a new direction for the trio with Sco's hands in the mix.
I hope they blow me away.
wooosh! i can't wait to listen to this album!! A Go Go is a classic, and MMW w/ Scofield should be a treat to see live. I would love to see them live, but my days of hitting every show are over, maybe when my 2 year gets older!
I saw Scofield when he kinda sorta toured behind that reocrd with Medeski, Wood and Clyde Stubblefield.. great show in Boston!
Hit a broke brutha up!!!!
Ugh, this just reminds me that I'm missing MMW w/ Maceo Parker followed by Phil/Trey/Medeski/Co. at Vegoose.
That said, I'll need to check out a few of their first live dates before I decide on that Vic show. After TLG last Saturday I can't wait for another chance to go to The Vic, that place is nice.
I was just listening to A Go Go yesterday, which is such a solid and tight album. And Sco has only gotten better in the years since. I agree w/ Brian, MMW really shines with that 4th guest spot. Just a month or so ago, MMW was in Seattle with the Wood Brothers, and Oliver Wood sat in for the latter half of the second set. It was some of the best MMW I've heard, and the crowd was eating it up. When MMW wanted to shine on their own, and Oliver left, the crowd threw a fit, more or less forcing them to bring him back on stage. It was excellent. I haven't seen MMW w/ Sco in this spot, but their studio work is among my favorite MMW albums. It's a shame that this project isn't hitting the Northwest.
The one thing that will be really cool about this tour is that the A Go GO song. When i saw MMW with Scoffield a few years ago they only played MMW songs.
Unfotunately, it doesn't look like these guys are coming to Oregon. How depressing...
I saw MMW in Prague this summer. Sick stuff. I'd love to get my hands on that album.
Say it out loud!
I like MMW and I'm proud!
(still hoping for a recording of the Melkweg show in Amsterdam)
too bad the halloween show wont have scofield
If it's anything like A-Go-Go, it will be sick. Can't wait to hear it.
Love that Scofield. Mix in some MMW and you got a party. I want that CD!
Happy Halloween.
Sco with the flow of a goat skin kick drum, ripping overdrive on the clavinet and b3, and solid mutuating grooves with real bottom, its all about the groove and always will be. Its where the vibes are the lines that they are blowing with beats and spaces to float though, resurrect James brown sweat or eddie harris, its all there, the new, the bad, and the funky. I need this disc.
