weezy Posted January 17, 2002 Report Share Posted January 17, 2002 Anyone see Medeski recently? The Word is playing here soon and someone told me that the T.O. show was pretty "out-there" - the quote was "...experimental...for hard-core Medeski fans only..." I will accept a patronizing "they were the bomb" comment as I am going anyways, but it would be good to know what kind of vibe will be unleashed...

AD Posted January 18, 2002 Report Share Posted January 18, 2002 When did The Word play TO? I would have loved to see that. Damn. I thought they were only playing west coast dates these days...ad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gentlemonkey Posted January 18, 2002 Report Share Posted January 18, 2002 I have a feeling weezy is thinking of the mmw show at jazzfest, cause the Word hasn't been there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaimoe Posted January 18, 2002 Report Share Posted January 18, 2002 The North Mississippi Allstars are playing Buffalo in mid March. Maybe we'll see The Word in Toronto sometime around then... hopefully? If anything, it wouldn't be a stgretch to see the Allstars book a Toronto gig a day before the Buffalo show - like March 10th.

weezy Posted January 18, 2002 Author Report Share Posted January 18, 2002 ya, sorry, I was just wondering what Medeski is scoring on the freakout-abstract-o-meter these days - ie: does it have a funky beat that I can bug-out to?
