Blue Note will release Medeski, Martin & Wood's Note Bleu - The Best Of The Blue Note Years, 1998 - 2005. Hard core Medeski, Martin & Wood fans will want the SPECIAL EDITION, which features bonus tracks not contained on the "regular version", plus a DVD of assorted videos, a 26 minute documentary, "Medeski Martin & Wood's The Dropper" directed by Marie-Pierre Jaury and produced by Jean-Stephane Michaux for Point Du Jour, live footage from the Texaco Jazz Festival (1998) in NYC, plus the Newport Jazz Festival (2005), and various goodies filmed during the Blue Note years. Both versions will feature tracks from all five Blue Note albums: Combustication, Tonic, The Dropper, Uninvisible, and End of the World Party (just in case).
