Radiolarians 1

In early 2008 the band announced on their official website: "Medeski Martin & Wood are planning 3 tours, plus 3 albums in 2008. Each tour and subsequent album will consist of all NEW MUSIC. The plan: Write > Tour > Record > Repeat." The Radiolarian Series is an album project by experimental jazz fusion trio Medeski Martin & Wood. The restlessly inventive improvising trio embark on an ingenious new experiment named after a type of single celled organisms. The trio, consisting of John Medeski, drummer Billy Martin and bassist Chris Wood, will convene for brief writing retreats, perform only that new material on tour, record the material immediately after getting off the road and release it as an album on their own Indirecto label.
