Medeski Martin & Wood - Shack-Man - Import LP RecordCredits: Medeski, Martin & Wood Description: Medeski, Martin & Wood's Shack Man is the best example to date of the trio's cerebral fusion of soul jazz, hip hop, and post punk worldbeat. Relying on a laid back groove for most the album, the group just rolls along. Shack Man is the kind of album that will appeal most to soul jazz beginners; for aficionados, the lack of grit in the groove makes it rather tedious. ~ Leo Stanley
