MEDESKI MARTIN & WOOD

let’s go everywhere

When John Medeski, Chris Wood and Billy Martin go into the studio to record any new album, they re never sure what will emerge. It was no different when the trio gathered in an upstate New York studio with a few concepts, a few musical ideas and a few friends, to create Let’s Go Everywhere, the first recording designed to please their youngest fans. Amazon.com says “Let’s Go Everywhere is the kind of record that kids-music insiders get all wound up about, and for a reason that can be summed up in two tidy little words: it’s awesome.”
