Synopsis

Product Description
This is the collaboration of some of the heaviest hitting in artists in the world of music. FFeaturing John Medeski ( Of Medeski Martin and Wood) Matthew Shipp, and Scott Hardin ( Aka Scotty Hard), This is a true nexus of artistic forces.
Medeski and Shipp's relationship dates back to their das at the New England Conservatory of Music, where they were sutdents togeher. Taking quite differend parths to success since them each has established their niche in the modern era of jazz: Shipp as a leader in modern jazz, and medeski in the wildly successful band Medeski Martin and Wood.

On "...Radical Reconstructive Surgery', Scotty Har's vision has been fully realized with this first recording of Medeski and Shipp playing together with the staller rhythm section of William Parker on bass and Nasheet Waits on drums, with additional drumming by Mauricio Takara. FJ Olive also lays down his considerable turntable skill to complete the line up for this historic project.

Enjoy this sonic brew of brilliance.

Thirsty ear returns
max power | 10/15/2006
(4 out of 5 stars)

"much of the music i have heard from thirsty ear in the past couple years has been decent, but without knowing why i just lost interest in what the label was putting out. Too much of it really sounded the same with the exception of dj spooky's albums and Matthew shipp's "harmony and the abyss" So when i picked up this disc i was prepared for the worst but what i got was easily the best music i'v heard from thirsty ear so far! It's full of atmosphere with moments of weirdness and beauty. Medeski sticks with the keyboards, allowing shipp to handle the acoustic keys. This is really what helps the album to be so enjoyable, neither of these guys take it over. Parkers bass is thumping and dancing all over this cd. Then you have scotty hard's production and mixes that will make any dub or hip hop fan happy. Very nice!"

"Given the people involved--Shipp, Parker, Waits--I jumped when I saw this cd, but have to say it is the most disappointing cd I bought in 2006. Emphasis is on electronics and mood, sort of like a movie score. A few good bits here and there but overall unexciting."
