Blurring the boundaries of jazz and electronic music, academia and gleeful crate-digging, Makaya McCraven has “quietly become one of the best arguments for jazz’s vitality” (The New York Times). The next-wave Chicago drummer, composer, producer, and sonic collagist is a multi-talented force whose inventive process and intuitive, cinematic style defies categorization. In boldly recontextualized compositions, McCraven builds “something familiar yet otherworldly, full of collaborations between young talent and old legends” (Pitchfork). This responsive repurposing is no lark, it’s central to McCraven’s organic way of creating. In his own words, his broad-reaching approach is “tethered by legacies of the past but looking towards a new, more universal future.”
