MAKAYA MCCRAVEN

Drummer, producer and sound artist Makaya McCraven is one of the most in-demand artists in Chicago today. His creative inventiveness and intuitive, individual style transcend all categories. Recognized as a true innovator, McCraven brilliantly moves between genres, pushing the boundaries of jazz, electronics, composition and rhythm.

His breakthrough album “In the Moment” was released on the International Anthem label in 2015 and was quickly recognized as one of the best albums of that year. Following his impressive debut, McCraven released a string of incredible albums, including 2018’s widely popular Universal Beings (International Anthem) and We’re New Again, his take on Gil Scott-Heron’s final album on XL Recordings. One of the musician’s latest releases is “Deciphering the Message” – a collection of 13 songs from the extensive Blue Note Records catalog, rearranged and remixed.

“In These Times” is the latest, seventh album (released in 2022) in cooperation with three labels: International Anthem, Nonesuch Records and XL Recordings. In “In These Times” you can hear, among others: Jeff Parker, Brandee Younger and Macie Stewart from the band Ohmme. We invite you to the first concert of Makaya McCraven in Jassmine.
