Medeski, Martin, and Wood: Radiolarians III coming 8/04

Oh, I’ve been looking forward to this record ever since I laid my ears on Radiolarians II! Medeski, Martin, and Wood recorded the newest installment of their Radiolarians project back in December ’08 and it’s ready for release in August 4. If you happened to miss the previous two records don’t fret. Radiolarians III promises to be the “strongest and most cohesive” of the series. I’ve never before really immersed myself in Jazz, always thinking I had to really invest time and energy to “get it.” And when this group came across my radar screen with a request for review I tentatively said yes. What followed was really a labor of love. The first two albums, with their brilliant blending of jazz and rock, completely won me over. I can’t wait to hear the final part of their creation, I’ll let you know as soon as I get it. In the meantime, Undone gives us a nice teaser, eh?
