Medeski Martin & Wood biography Medeski, Martin & Wood is a Jazz-Rock trio from New York, USA, formed in 1991 in Brooklyn. They have a unique style inspired by each member's influences (Medeski was a classical music player (and then he became a jazz one), Martin liked Zappa, Kiss, Led Zeppelin, Aerosmith, Sly and the Family Stone, James Brown and Jimi Hendrix, Wood was into the sixties rock bands, and later into jazz). John Medeski (keyboards) and Chris Wood (basses) met themselves at Boston's New England Conservatory of Music and they both decided to move to New York City, where they would discover the city's promising jazz scene. They would also meet Billy Martin there. They began trying to combine hypnotic textures and sounds with hip-hop beats and jazz improvisation. Their first album, Notes From the Underground, came out in 1991. Since then, they created their own record company (Indirecto), toured all around the world, and made eleven other studio albums, including one with John Scofield (Out Louder) and another composed by John Zorn (Zaebos).
