Medeski Martin / Wood/ Alarm Will Sound - Omnisphere

Vinyl LP pressing. Medeski, Martin, Wood's new album, Omnisphere was recorded with the inimitable Alarm Will Sound orchestra live at the Newman Center for the Performing Arts in Denver, CO in February 2015. The results are both expected, in the peerless level of the musicianship, and stunning, in the sweeping stylistic range of the program. But more than anything, Omnisphere speaks to the respect and creative kinship shared between these two trailblazing ensembles. "The more we worked together, the more I realized how perfect this is. How they are, for their universe, very much like us," says keyboardist John Medeski. "We knew we had a winner of an idea," adds Alan Pierson, Alarm Will Sound's artistic director and conductor. "A number of [our musicians] have really idolized Medeski Martin & Wood for years, and so there was a lot of excitement in the group."
