Very acid jazzy, but with a difficult edge. Some strange sound effects and pluckings and even some " scratching" mixed in with the usual Hammond heavy vibes. If you like Corduroy, then this is the grown up, serious art version. Less fun, but more muso and techno. It is well played and interesting, but not one you would put on at a party to dance to. Tis one is more sit down and listen to music.
Like another reviewer, over the years I had already acquired many CDs by these mad men. But, even for the longtime fan, this collection is a nice way to appreciate the range of music by this band over the years. As someone who loves the music of Medeski Martin & Wood, I can recommend "Note Bleu" to anyone who wishes to dip a toe into the water.
Keep in mind, however, that the CD on this page does not come with a DVD. The CD alone, however, is definitely worth getting your hands on. Great music for the car, especially if you're ready to pay attention; this is not background music.
amazing album!!!! Always knew about Medeski, Martin and Wood. But never had a cd of the band before. It's unbelievable! These gents are extremely talented! Not for just a passing music fan, this is real fusion! Well worth a listen.
