The first full-length release from the collaboration of Medeski, Martin & Wood with Alarm Will Sound, Omnisphere, is released on Medeski, Martin & Wood's own imprint, Indirecto records.
The collection poses a compelling question: What would happen if one of the most adventurous groups to emerge in jazz and improvised music in the last three decades were to join up with an orchestra that counts among the boldest forces in contemporary classical? The results are both expected - in the peerless level of the musicianship - and stunning - in the sweeping stylistic range of the program. More than anything, Omnisphere speaks to the respect and creative kinship shared between these two trailblazing ensembles.
Recorded live at The Newman Center in Denver, Colorado in February 2015, Omnisphere fulfills a long-held aspiration for Medeski, drummer-percussionist Billy Martin and bassist Chris Wood. In the earliest days of the band, they would often listen to classical and chamber music as a source of musical inspiration, conceptualizing the idea of how to merge their freewheeling improvisational jazz explorations with the more composed approach of orchestral music.
“The more we worked together, the more I realized how perfect this is. How they are, for their universe, very much like us. We have a certain connection that’s like family and they’re like a family, so it’s like these two families coming together.”
- John Medeski
