Stream This | Medeski Scofield Martin & Wood – Juice

Next Tuesday, Medeski, Scofield, Martin & Wood will release their latest album together –Juice. The new album contains a number of covers including takes on Bob Dylan’s “The Times They Are A-Changin,” “Light My Fire” by The Doors and Cream’s “Sunshine Of Your Love” as well as their version of “Sham Time” by jazz saxophonist Eddie Harris.

While there’s still a week before Juice hits stores, the album can be streamed for a limited time at the New York Times’ website. According to MMW.net, “The blueprint for Juice was found in a compilation of African-derived music put together by drummer Billy Martin and shared among the ensemble.” John Medeski explains, “We all love music from Brazil, the Caribbean, and Latin America, and it has always been intertwined with jazz, We got together and started exploring that connection in our own way.”

“This is our version of different African-based forms,” Scofield echoed. “Or, at least, that’s what we started with…eventually we said, ‘This is the outline, but we can do whatever the hell we want.’”
