Medeski Scofield Martin & Wood first recorded together on Scofield's A GO GO (Verve 1998), a disc that has become a must-have classic. That project united jazz guitarist Scofield with the eclectic improvisational jazz trio Medeski Martin & Wood on material composed by Scofield and interpreted by all four musicians.

OUT LOUDER is the inaugural release for Medeski Martin & Wood's Indirecto Records label, which is distributed by Sony/Red, and is a genuine four-way collaboration between Medeski Scofield Martin & Wood. "A GO GO was John's record and we were essentially sidemen, where OUT LOUDER musically comes from all of us" explains Wood.

Recorded in under a week at Shacklyn, MMW's fabled downtown Brooklyn studio, OUT LOUDER includes highlights such as the undeniably funky"Little Walter Rides Again," the free jazz excursions of "Miles Behind,"
and the improvisation-rich take on Peter Tosh's reggae anthem "Legalize It."
