Medeski, Martin & Wood can make their fans groove, but they also dig challenging them. Rooted in jazz-funk, “Sugar Craft” boldly incorporates DJ Logic's wild scratches into its hip-hop-flavoured beats, but sometimes they ditch funk altogether: “Afrique” is an acoustic journey into percussive, avant-garde jazz, and “Doors of Deception” is a clattering experiment soaked in Nels Cline's guitar feedback.
