Released in 1996 on Gramavision, Shack-man captures Medeski Martin & Wood’s distinctive blend of improvisational jazz, deep funk grooves, and organ-driven soul-jazz. John Medeski’s keyboards, Billy Martin’s drums, and Chris Wood’s bass create an adventurous instrumental sound that helped the trio reach a wider audience in the jam-band scene.

Formed in 1991, the trio built its reputation through extensive touring and spontaneous musical interplay. Shack-man was recorded in a remote, solar-powered plywood shack in Hawaii in June 1996—a setting that inspired the album’s title. The cover features artwork by drummer Billy Martin.
