Born improviser, gifted composer and champion of the black community: this drummer has it all
Born in Paris, raised in a bohemian enclave in the US and now settled in the emerging jazz scene of Chicago: is it any wonder that Makaya McCraven is breaking down all boundaries from behind his drums? The hip-hop beats, laptop music and langourous strings reveal that there is also a gifted composer in the born improviser. And a champion of the black community - or how about a Harry Belafonte sample? After collaborations with Tortoise guitarist Jeff Parker (on the latest album 'In These Times') and Shabaka Hutchings, you know for sure: this master drummer is a must-see.
