Medeski Martin and Wood - Zaebos: The Book of Angels Vol. 11

Medeski Martin and Wood Zaebos
Medeski Martin and Wood - Zaebos: The Book of Angels Vol. 11
(CD) Tzadik TZ7368, 2008-09-03

Info :
Due to a manufacturing error, Medeski Martin and Wood's Zaebos: The Book of Angels Vol. 11 has been moved to a release date of 9/16
Focused, ecstatic and wildly improvisational, the trio of Medeski Martin and Wood is one of the most popular and vibrant instrumental ensembles of the last few decades, playing to packed houses from Budokan to Bonnaroo and back again. Original members of the earliest Masada units (reaching back to 1993), they are a natural choice to interpret the lyrical Book of Angels, and here return to the fold like three prodigal sons. Ten exhilarating and creative arrangements of Zorn compositions that alternately groove, lope, shred and burn with a fiery passion.

01. Zagzagel
02. Sefrial
03. Agmatia
04. Rifion
05. Chafriel
06. Ahaij

3 new Medeski, Martin & Wood albums in 2008!


Medeski Martin & Wood
are planning 3 tours, plus 3 albums in 2008. Each tour and subsequent album will consist of all NEW MUSIC. The plan: Write > Tour > Record > Repeat. Bucking the traditional process of recording an album, THEN touring after its release. The band feels this new approach for 2008 will lend itself to their way of performing and developing music. On Feb. 14, MMW will get together for 5 days to write new material for their Northeast tour, Feb. 19 - 29. Directly following the tour they will head into the studio to record the music developed on the road. Each body of new material will be unique to each tour (if you see it in New York, you won't see it in Los Angeles). Some of the material may make it into the band's festival sets, but the bulk of it will only be performed during the specified tour period. Please come celebrate. Watch the music evolve, and be part of something different!

Information coming on how to obtain all 3 recordings in a signed, limited edition, eco package.

Info :
When Club d'Elf released its first studio CD of its nine years of existence in 2006, it was only fitting that the band should hold its official release party at the Lizard Lounge, where it had been playing most every other Thursday since '98.

For this special evening leader Mike Rivard gathered together a heavyweight ensemble consisting of MMW keyboardist John Medeski, the dual guitars of Dave Tronzo (Daniel Lanois/Sex Mob) and Duke Levine (Shawn Colvin/Jonatha Brooke), Mister Rourke (Soulive) on turntables and samples, and original d'Elf drummer Erik Kerr.

Joining this stellar cast (with Rivard on electric and acoustic basses and the Moroccan sintir) were horn players Tom Hall, Tom Halter (Either/Orchestra) and Sam Kininger (Soulive).

Fortunately the music that evening was recorded, captured in all of it's detail on multi-track. The result is a live release that sounds like a studio release - Perhapsody, the band's seventh release on L.A.-based Kufala.

The album captures the intense energy that d'Elf bring to their live shows, which have become the stuff of legend, featuring telepathic improvisations adorning relentless grooves, played by musicians at the top of their craft.
