2006-04-04 - 5:51 p.m. Can you guess the artist based on the song titles? "Has anybody here...seen my old friend Wood?" Medeski, Martin & Wood are one of those bands that I shouldn't like, based on my musical predilictions, but I do, very much, and their new collection, Note Bleu - The Best Of The Blue Note Years, 1998 - 2005 is a nice reminder of why. To me, they take the In a Silent Way aesthetic and bring it along through the ages, calmly, by the hand "Here's the 80s, the 90s, the 00s..."
