i love billy's gentle touch on the drums.

Billy Martin plays a cookie tin lid, and it gives me a boner. Unbelievable.

@knathanstein

you mean Chuck Norris is the John Medeski of karate actors

[knathanstein]

John Medeski is the Chuck Norris of music

@thedizzit Haha, yep. The one term i've heard that seems remotely fitting is "avant groove." That kind of captures some of the inherent contrasts and seeming contradictions in their sound, IMO

[thedizzit]

@superjay42 they've called it themselves "homeless music"

@wolvesnrp Are you 13?

@superchuds Don't sweat it. Maybe "traditional jazz" would be a better phrase. :) I think MMW is exactly the kind of band it wants to be, and I like that there's no easy label to place on their music. I find that's a common thread among many of my favorite musicians - that they more or less create a new language of their own, one that exists outside of conventional genres.

I love the clave rhythm in the keys. So groovy.
