Concrete Playground

Medeski, Martin and Wood's music is lush, spooky, psychadelic and super cool. Like a soundtrack to a Jim Jarmusch film. Its improvisational free jazz, a musical genre who's very name would have warranted me hurling their albums across the room in disgust about two years ago. Now I love it, but I'm also suddenly really into real estate, so maybe my Saturn return is just kicking in.

One of the best things about being in an improvisational jazz trio would be that you could really pump out the albums. Because they, you know, just, like, make it up. The trio have recorded over 20 albums since 1992. They're playing at the The City Recital Hall during the Sydney Festival. Oh, and also they're from Brooklyn. Like every, bloody, one else.
