Martin & Wood Medeski - Shack-Man (Fluorescent Green Vinyl)

Martin & Wood Medeski - Shack-Man (Fluorescent Green Vinyl)

Though the trio of John Medeski, Billy Martin, and Chris Wood had already expanded the jazz genre with their first three records (two of which we have reissued here at Real Gone Music), it was this 1996 album that really crossed over and won the ensemble a whole new legion of listeners in the "jam band" camp. Recorded in a remote, solar-powered plywood shack in Hawaii (hence the title), Shack-Man brought the '70s soul-jazz beloved by the band firmly into the '90s, propelled by Medeski's simultaneously nostalgic yet forward-thinking excursions on the Hammond B-3. A masterpiece of groove, out on colored vinyl for the first time for it's 30th anniversary in a fluorescent green pressing (manufactured at Gotta Groove Records) to match the vibrant album cover!
