Shack Man

Description

Although the trio of John Medeski, Billy Martin and Chris Wood had already explored the jazz genre with their first three albums (two of which are reissued on Real Gone Music), it was this 1996 album that truly marked a turning point and earned them a whole new legion of listeners among jam band enthusiasts. Recorded in an isolated plywood shack powered by solar energy in Hawaii (hence its title), Shack-Man propelled the 1970s soul-jazz dear to the group into the 1990s, thanks to Medeski's both nostalgic and innovative flights on the Hammond B-3 organ. A groove masterpiece, available for the first time on colored vinyl for its 30th anniversary, in a fluorescent green pressing matching the vibrant cover!
