| Description: | For the last 30 years, Medeski Martin & Wood have explored the boundaries of modern jazz, incorporating hip hop, avant-garde, world music, and electronic funk influences into their fearless improvisational style. Its title taken from the first line of ??Old Angel Midnight? by Jack Kerouac (himself a legendary improviser),
1995??s Friday Afternoon in the Universe flings a whole lot at the wall and just about everything sticks, with mid-??70s Miles Davis the predominant hue in an ever-changing sonic palette. ??Chubb Sub? is a favorite, and was used prominently in the Get Shorty soundtrack, but even the most abstract numbers groove and move. First time on vinyl! - .. UNIVERSE"Friday Afternoon in the Universe" is a boundary-pushing LP by the avant-garde jazz trio Medeski, Martin & Wood, originally released in the mid-1990s and now reissued by Real Gone. The album captures the group in a fertile creative phase where groove, improvisation and sonic experimentation collide. Expect swirling Hammond organ lines, elastic double bass figures and intricate, often funk-infused drumming, all woven into a soundscape that feels both earthy and otherworldly. "Friday Afternoon in the Universe" moves fluidly between deep, hypnotic vamps, abstract sound explorations and agile, melodic themes, making it an ideal record for listeners who appreciate both head-nodding rhythms and cerebral jazz adventures.
On vinyl, the music gains additional warmth and presence: Medeski's organ, electric piano and keyboards open up in three-dimensional detail, Chris Wood's bass resonates with woody depth, and Billy Martin's percussion palette--from tight grooves to subtle textures--unfolds with striking clarity. This LP edition is designed for serious listeners and collectors who value the ritual of putting on a record and immersing themselves fully in an album's journey from the first to the last groove. Whether you are discovering Medeski, Martin & Wood for the first time or revisiting a classic, this pressing offers a rich, dynamic listening experience that rewards repeated plays.
Medeski, Martin & Wood are known as one of the most influential modern jazz-fusion and groove-jazz trios, celebrated for their energetic live shows and their ability to bridge jazz, funk, rock and experimental music. Over the years they have built a loyal following far beyond the traditional jazz audience, performing at major festivals and collaborating with a wide range of artists. Their discography is marked by adventurous studio albums and legendary live recordings that demonstrate their fearless improvisational spirit and group chemistry. "Friday Afternoon in the Universe" stands as a key document of their early, trailblazing period.
