Seven Days: Vermont's Independent Voice

Radio, Radio

Medeski Martin and Wood have been confounding — and delighting — audiences around the globe for nearly two decades. While the pioneering experimental fusion trio is a staple of the jam scene, their appeal, much like their music, truly crosses such crass demographic pigeonholing. On December 8 they will release a mammoth box set, Radiolarian: The Evolutionary Set, which documents the band’s last few years and contains the three Radiolarian albums, a DVD, a remix disc and a live record consisting entirely of unreleased material. Just in time for the holidays! This Thursday, the band melts faces at the Higher Ground Ballroom.
