WANDERING

* Deluxe limited edition hard cover book with music (exclusive digital downloadable record).

Culled from over 60 articles, drummer/composer/visual artist Billy Martin (Medeski Martin & Wood, The Lounge Lizards) takes us on a journey into the processes, concepts, successes, and failures – as a teacher, musician, and a human being. Martin is not only talking to other musicians, but to anyone who tries to approach the world with wonder, curiosity, and care. Includes over 30 improvised drawings and illustrations spanning 3 decades.

"It’s a roadmap I’d like to share, in hopes that it will lead you into illuminating corners of yourself that you might not have found on your own." - Billy Martin
