Medeski, Martin & Wood Tickets

What can you say about Medeski Martin & Wood? These guys are an amazing breath of fresh air. For anybody who enjoys great improvisational funky jazzy bluesy music then you will love MMW. Three amazing musicians provide an evening of sublime music. Watching Billy Martin on percussion is really something to see. And Chris Wood on bass is no slouch either. And of course John Medeski. What can you say about him? Aside from being a musical genius he didnt seem to be in the best of moods. Looked like he didn't want to be there. Don't get me wrong, the set was amazing, just he seemed less than happy to be there. After the show the band signed autographs!! I got to meet them! Such good down to earth people. Billy such a nice guy, Chris too!

Outstanding performance. Phenomenally talented musicians.

What a great show. Once these guy take off, they take the audience to a whole different level.

Musically as entertaining and mind boggling as a Cirque show!

The talent and interplay between the 3 excellent musicians is inpriring. Catch them if you can.

This is a top five concert. Brilliant by every measurement.

This show was incredible to say the least. The combination of the two forces being Antibalas & Medeski Martin Wood was a great one. Im very glad i was there to experience it happen.

-The music sound system was great. -Security didn't have a big "presence" which I think is the way it should be. -Crowd was fine. -Parking was no big deal. Plenty of lots just a few blocks around.

About MMW's music: we're talkin' improvisational explorational adventures down to a fine art. Fabulous interactivity, in deed, there were songs within songs, extended OUT soloing, and as the last date of this tour, a 2-set 4 hour show. I can still hear their music circling about in my mind's ear! ABSOLUTELY WONDERFUL! About the venue: This particular date was held at The Culture Room. Regarded as one of South Florida's premier venues, even my own band has pondered playing here. ONE MAJOR DRAWBACK: Imagine paying 33 bux to see a group in a premier venue that has NO SEATING. That's right! WE STOOD in one spot like Sardines in a can for the entire show. We won't go back there again, no matter who is booked.

Was hoping for an energetic funky show based on reviews and CDs . Venue said show to start at 8pm , wrong! That's when the doors open. Show didn't start until 9:25 and we had to endure a room filled with cigarette smoke while Old Frank Zappa videos " warmed up the crowd". The band then opened with 2 slow introspective , belly button gazing songs. My companions bowed out and we soon followed.

First time seeing MMW. They exceeded my expectation for a modern Jazz band. Great show, these are real musicians without all the glitz and glam.

Best jazz show I've been to ever! Playing all over the genre and defying it at the same time! Definitely showed ATL a whole lot of love!

MMW live NEVER disappoints. These guys were built from the ground up to put on the groove and that is what they do. I highly recommend checking them out when you get the chance.

I sat in the balcony dead center. Scrapomatic was really good. MMW sounded really good, the bass was a bit muffled at first part of show. It's wonderful to watch three excellent musicians jam. Martin is incredible and keeps all meshed. This was their 20th anniversary show, wow. Go see them when you can.

Avante Garde? Sure. But where's the melody? How long can you carry on dissonant tension before it becomes sheer noise? I think these guys test that limit. To my ears, they passed it during the first set, sufficiently that I skipped the second. Clearly all 3 are fine musicians, well schooled and rehearsed, and skilled at their respective instruments. Having only heard their recorded work with Scofield, I'd expected to hear a few great musicians pushing out some modern 3-piece jazz. But this became unbearable. On a brighter note, the local warmup band, Scrapomatic, played soulful (if occasionally too mellow) R&B-ish stuff and their singer is first rate.

MMW and Antibalas playing a set together was unforgettable.

From A to Z, with halloween costumes, brilliant!!!

This was a one of a kind evening. MMW nailed it with a request only setlist, then Antibalas played a set with MMW together. The last song was one of our generation's greatest protest anthems "Indictment". Even with the singer's voice gone, the song was still powerful. The only bad part was the venue's choice of ticket broker. The Washington DC show was run through Ticket Fly which is a much much better experience than Ticket Master. I usually won't go to Ticket Master events, it's been a couple of years, but I had to break my rule to see this amazing music.

This show was absolutely amazing and I know I will never see anything like it again. What a fantastic collaboration.

Very talented guys. But really outstanding with Antibalas. Terminal 5 was a great location for both bands.
