Love this. Billy Martin is one of my favorite drummers. Always sounds like he's tumbling down a funky flight of stairs

[brianlynch]

A tight Jazz band that just makes me happy. Eclectic too. A bit of Pink Floyd mixed with Miles Davis. So smooth and ultra cool. I am just an older man loving music again.

[iansnyder]

I always loved A GO GO ....classic chemistry here....I also must say that Medeski always looks like he is rummaging through a draw looking for something when he's awesome.

This, boys and girls, is what is called taking lemons...and making lemonade! Sweet!

Just what I needed in this f upped world. Miss MMW remember the good ol days catching these guys 4or 5 times a year. Scofield is at his finest when he teams up with Medeski.

I've played this 20-25 times, my wife and children are so fed-up hearing it, been banned to headphone listening

[bradrehn]

Cowboy Jack's, "Girl I Used To Know" is an absolutely charming rendition! Such tasteful and reverent keyboard coaxing, taste, taste, and yes, more taste! 😊

[mikerosenthal]

[jonRboy]

I've been infunkted by Bandemic! I love it.

Thank you, guys! Stay safe and healthy. Glad to see John wearing a mask as he is in a higher risk group. A short story about John: When my son was a toddler he would sometimes become inconsolable. The only thing that would calm him was John's music, the funky stuff. After a particularly bad episode saved by A Go-Go my wife said, you should send him an email and thank him for me. I did and his wife sent my email to John. About a month later John sent me a very nice note. Cool guy. Class act. Peace and love from Columbus Ohio John.

[mixingdude]

I wish more people would watch this. It's an education in music. Please share. Best jazz on earth.

[armenboyder]

Very therapeutic. As a fellow old guy, I can relate to Sco

[felipe.arenas]
