From "Friday Afternoon in the Universe" : 1995 : Gramavision 79503
MM&W are one of the few modern groups who can seemingly be all over the map musically and yet still have a cohesive feel on their albums. "Friday Afternoon in the Universe" could be viewed as their musical mission statement, as it seems to cover what must be nearly all of the jazz, soul-jazz and funk sub-genres that there are (and maybe even a few that have yet to be invented). This album is one of the great post-modern jazz releases.
Players:
John Medeski - Organ, Piano, Clavinet, Wurlitzer
Chris Wood - Bass
Billy Martin - Drums, Percussion
