farmer’s reserve

Farmer’s Reserve was recorded by Medeski Martin & Wood at the famous “Shack” in Hawaii in 1996. The album consists of one continuous 40-minute improvisation followed by a 15-minute epilogue. The music is minimalist, and free form. A sonic MMW journey. Farmer’s Reserve is no butt-shaker! Headphones are highly recommended. Available exclusively through mail order and at live shows.
