“Watching John Medeski play the piano is an experience in and of itself,” raves JAMBASE. “Medeski’s talents have been long harder to pigeonhole…should be mandatory listening for traditionalists and jazz-curious Phish-heads alike,” states the LOS ANGELES TIMES. “John Medeski was a man of two tales during the show. At times he would be an animated force, directing the theater to his next thought during mind-blowing solos. Other times, he secluded himself to his Steinway grand piano, where, with his back to the audience, he serenaded the theater with graceful jazzy playing,” says THE DENVER POST (Live Performance Review).
World-Renowned Famed Keyboardist JOHN MEDESKI is not easily contained to a single project or genre; he is credited on over 300 works to date, most notably as one third of the groundbreaking trio, Medeski Martin & Wood. Since the mid-1990s they have toured steadily in both national and international Funk, Jazz, and Jam Band music scenes. Equally comfortable behind a Steinway grand piano, Hammond organ or any number of vintage keyboards, Medeski is a highly sought after improviser and band leader whose projects range from work with John Zorn, The Word (Robert Randolph, North Mississippi Allstars), Phil Lesh, Don Was, John Scofield, Coheed & Cambria, Susana Baca, Sean Lennon, Marc Ribot, Irma Thomas, Blind Boys of Alabama, Dirty Dozen Brass Band and many others! "Keyboard master John Medeski thrives on the unpredictable, a trait that has kept his work with the trailblazing trio Medeski Martin & Wood (MMW) fresh and surprising..." raves ALL ABOUT JAZZ.
