Band Members: Billy Martin and John Medeski (of Medeski Martin and Wood) met in 1989 and first played together in Billy's Brooklyn, NY loft. That 2 hour session led to the formation of Medeski Martin and Wood. They never forgot that first time playing together and vowed to make a record someday. Almost 20 years later, they found some time to record and release Mago, their first duet collaboration. All original compositions from free jazz to experimental hip-hop joints that use a drum set, the Hammond B3 organ and some occasional dubbed-out mixes (thanx to Good and Evil friend Danny Blume).
