M(S)MW Do The Impossible

The great instrumental jazz fusion trio that is Medeski, Martin & Wood picked up a forth member for their most recent album, and it was none other than the legendary jazz guitarist John Scofield. On the album, Out Louder, the four covered the scintillating Beatles' song "Julia", from The White Album, and they couldn't have done it any better. The combination of Medeski's transparent jazz organ, Martin's straightforward brush kit, and Wood's lucid bass line allowed for Scofield to play with the famous melody in any and every way he pleased. It's a song that forces you to drop everything, get comfortable and let things come and go without a care in the world. So sit back, relax and enjoy this nifty tune.
