medeski martin & wood's tenth full-length album, is another milestone in the band's history of unconventional music making. looking for the creative energy of "spontaneous composition," mmw along with producer/ engineer scotty hard created an album of sophisticated collaboration. guest musicians threw their sounds into the mix & the result is at once a return to the familiar mmw groove, as well as a step into the future. featured guests include dj p-love (turntables), col. bruce hampton (vocals), danny blume (guitar), brad roberts (vocals), eddie bobe (percussion), dj olive (turntables) & the antibalas horns. this is a true gem & an honor for ropeadope.

About the Artist

medeski, martin & wood's brew of instrumental hip-hop trance-funk is the product of a trio that's constantly growing and expanding its base of instrumental ideas, and they've reached a new zenith of their creative prowess with their latest blue note album, uninvisible. taking a fresh approach to the studio, the band recorded extensive improv sessions at their studio in brooklyn, and the selected pieces to develop and augment. then the band held more sessions, bringing in other musicians to add layers and ideas to the music. when it came time to mix, scotty hard and the three musicians creatively edited and sculpted the tracks into dynamic groove-scapes. with uninvisible, mmw has once again tested new waters , creating dancable rhythms and elemental ambience that is sure to satisfy every mmw fan.
