Estimated read time 3 min read

One of the most anticipated tours of the Fall concert season was a visit from The Word this past weekend. Made up of John Medeski, pedal steel ambassador Robert Randolph and The North Mississippi Allstars (Luther Dickinson, Cody Dickinson and Chris Chew) and first conceived of by John and MMW in 1998 while on tour with The North Mississippi Allstars, The Word is one of the rarest of musical showcases and provides a unique glimpse into Gospel, Sacred Steel and Soul realms that shine in a live setting.

PICK OF THE WEEK: The Word – Ogden Theatre – Saturday, Oct. 10th

Estimated read time 2 min read

The genesis of THE WORD began in the year 1998, when the Avant-Jazz and Funk group Medeski, Martin & Wood took the burgeoning North Mississippi Allstars on their first tour. Fourteen years may have passed between albums, but that’s no suggestion of broken bonds. Nor of broken strings. A love of music, of extended improvisational collaboration, of closing the eyes and channeling the feel—these are the ties that bind THE WORD.
