{"product_id":"its-a-jungle-in-here","title":"It's a Jungle in Here","description":"Amazon.com\n\nPouring their jazz out of a postmodern blender, Medeski Martin \u0026amp; Wood reference Sly Stone, King Sunny Ade and John Coltrane on the same album; Thelonious Monk and Bob Marley in the same song (\"Bemsha Swing-Lively Up Yourself\"). And it works: By turn funky (\"Beeah,\" \"Shuck It Up\") and avant garde (\"Worms\"), thoughtful (\"Moti Mo,\" \"Sand\") and over-the-top (\"Where's Sly?\"), MMW know that for music to matter, it must reflect its time--and \"to entertain\" is not an evil verb phrase. This piano\/organ, bass and drums trio (joined here by top-flight special guests on brass, woodwinds and guitar) is the voice of Future Jazz--and you can hear it now. --Suzanne McElfresh\n\nProduct description\n\nIt's A Jungle In Here - Martin \u0026amp; Wood Medeski (CD 1994)\n\nFrom the Label\n\nA look at the sources of MM\u0026amp;W's covers (King Sunny Ade, John Coltrane, Bob Marley and Thelonious Monk) gives a perfect sense of the trio's highly charged, all-encompassing groove. This Gramavision debut reveals a subtle sense of orchestration, as several tracks are enhanced by the presence of the Groove Collective horn section and guitarist Mark Ribot. There is also plenty of the trademark MM\u0026amp;W fire on the album that started the buzz on this band in earnest.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: B000003228\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: DBV.B000003228.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Martin, Billy|Medeski, John|Wood, Chris|Medeski Martin \u0026amp; Wood\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Audio cd\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Individually inspected: Guaranteed to play perfectly or your money back.
