Wood & Meat join forces for the jazzy and funk filled Triple S Ep, coming with 3 original summerly tracks and a nice extended dub version of the title track. If the weather is not warm enough at your summer location, you will surely heat up the place with one of these twisted shakers.

Bellowhead Bellowhead , Chris Wood and daughter-mother duo Eliza Carthy & Norma Waterson each took away two trophies from the latest BBC Folk Awards in London last night, with Laura Marling 's 'Rambling Man' missing out in the Best Original Song category. Popular big band ensemble Bellowhead blasted their way to Best Group and Best Live Act - but frontman Jon Boden missed out on the coveted Folk Singer of the Year award, presented at the end of the evening by Joan Armatrading .

The classic Traffic album is back again with some bonus treats.

In the pantheon of gut wrenching, emotionally charged break up albums none may top the sheer heartbreak found throughout Bob Dylan's 1975 release Blood On The Tracks . The album has been mined for its share of covers over the years, but it's the first time we are actually featuring a track from what is arguably one of Dylan's best LPs. While there may be a few more obvious choices, we're going with the moody album's melancholy closing track, Buckets Of Rain . The [...]

As seems the progression of festivals -popularity predicts an upsizing and from humble beginnings, small becomes large and inevitable change comes. The Greenman festival, now in its 7th year, is no exception, though it seems that the festival is doing its best to stay beautiful! Read more..

Chris Wood is remarkable. There comes a character in every genre catalogue of music who truly is the whole package; musically talented, down to earth, interesting to speak to, socially aware, and ultimately, a pioneer to their section of their craft. In folk music, Chris Wood is your man. I had the pleasure of catching up with Chris last month before his show at Norwich Arts Centre... His latest project – 'Handmade Life' – is an exceptional exploration of the issues associated with modern life, and the inspiration behind it shows a socially passionate man with educated [...]
![VA – Friends EP [LNZ030] (Vinyl)](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/2194644_lg.jpg)
After such a long time of cooperation with Domenico D'Agnelli and several attempts trying to put his ideas on vinyl, levelNONzero is presenting the "Family EP". It is not just a special release because Domenico is a very close friend of Pascal & Chris, it is also an impotant release cause we reached the catalogue number 30. Domenico must be known by most of you folks from his work for Partysan, Rave On Snow or Electric Delicate, but also from a lot of partys where he was acting as a DJ or organizer. Exact for the opening of his new [...]

The Holiday Electric release their new EP and play an acoustic set along with Zack Borer, This Condition and One EskimO at Pete Wentz's bar.
Aural States sat down with Medeski Martin & Wood while they were in town for the 2009 Traffic Jam Festival to discuss their new three-record series, Radiolarians . AS: I'm curious about the new approach to writing and recording music that you used for Radiolarians . This year, rather than recording a studio album and then touring in support of the album, you wrote the tunes on the road the previous year and then recorded and released a new live album every 4 months. [...]
Over the course of the past two years, Medeski, Martin & Wood has had a very simple philosophy - write, tour and record. The avant-jazz groove-jammers stretched this idea out over the course of three separate tours, where they played the new material that they had just written, recorded and released for their three volume Radiolarians series. With the project now completed, culminating with the release of Radiolarians III in early August, MMW have announced plans to release a comprehensive box set of its material which has been dubbed Radiolarians: The Evolutionary Set.

I have only two songs by Chris Wood and know little about him. He was sent by a friend who knew I'd like him. I decided to do some hunting and I found this: "Chris Wood is an uncompromising writer whose music reveals his love for the un-official history of the English speaking people. With gentle intelligence he weaves the tradition with his own contemporary parables, his writing has been said to share the same timeless quality as Richard Thompson at his best." "Coming in at over 50 minutes 'Trespasser' is a substantial album with a [...]

After collaborations from Berliners Jaxson & David Keno and Londoners Glimpse Alex Jones, Kindisch heads to the Southern hub of Germany's House source Frankfurt. This time reaping the harvest from the joined forces of Level Non Zero label owner Chris Wood and the main man behind one of the most infamous record stores in the world, Meat. Both have released acclaimed records on labels such as Get Physical, Below and Level Non Zero. "Le Beat N'Est Pas Triste" is a straight up sweat on the walls filthy Tech-House number. Off kilter snares, crowd [...]

After their first and all over Germany well acclaimed Deep House production "Geisha" Chris Wood and Frank Leicher now come up with a complete 3-tracker. With this accordingly titled "Two Of Three" EP the young team exeeds all expectations. Already the first track "Into The Jungle" with almost 9 minutes of play time captures the listener into a new dimension of breathless house tribalism. Be ear witness how Wood and Leicher Voodoo priest alike stich their percussive elements into the body of party puppet to make the will-less audience dance to the point of ecstasy. And now we all [...]

as i mentioned in part 1, i shot a much longer video clip of MMW during the show which was 4 months ago today. i was almost leaning right up against the stage using my new Kodak when i shot this. so the video is pretty good. it was the beginning of the second set. my entire clip was 14 minutes but YouTube will only allow 10 minutes. so i had to convert it to a different format and edit it before
i had never seen a concert where a band played all NEW music ONLY. until july 12 when i saw Medeski, Martin & Wood ( official / myspace / wiki ) at the Jefferson Center in Roanoke. MMW is more than just a jazz trio. and the Jefferson Center is more than just a concert venue. these two elements added up to a wonderful and memorable musical experience. the Jefferson Center is possibly the
