Will And The People
Will, Dan and Noddy met in brighton at college 4 years ago, they all had different bands and used to (and still do) play and party together...a lot... Tills (keys) met Will at a piano bar in the after-hours sometime in 2006, Will was mightily impressed seeing him on the ivory - he was also a doctor.... so it was a no brainer for Will! They had to Jam! It was sweet as pineapple when they did the next day, and Tilley was in the gang. Max Tempo (drums) saw Will by himself playing in a tiny gig in Brighton around the same time, with a loop pedal, a guitar, and only bar-staff for company.

Medeski, Martin and Wood
Medeski Martin & Wood, or MMW, is a jazz trio originally formed in Brooklyn, NY in 1991, consisting of John Medeski on keyboards, Billy Martin on drums and percussion, and Chris Wood on double bass and bass guitar. Medeski Martin & Wood was initially a straightforward acoustic jazz trio, but Medeski quickly added a Hammond organ when the difficulties of touring with a piano became apparent. This more soul jazz oriented direction led to the incorporation of other musical genres, including funk, hip hop, trip hop and free jazz.
