MAKAYA MCCRAVEN: Makaya McCraven is a prolific drummer, composer and producer. His newest album, In These Times, is a preeminent addition to his already-acclaimed and extensive discography, and is the triumphant finale of a project 7+ years in the making. McCraven believes that the word “jazz” is “insufficient, at best, to describe the phenomenon we’re dealing with.” The artist, who has been aptly called a “cultural synthesizer”, has a unique gift for collapsing space, destroying borders and blending past, present, and future into poly-textural arrangements of post-genre, jazz-rooted 21st century folk music.
