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.
