First Houston appearance!
Aptly described as a “beat scientist,” drummer, composer, and producer Makaya McCraven is a maverick musician defining what jazz means now. A cultural synthesizer, McCraven has an unparalleled gift for collapsing space, destroying borders and blending past, present and future.
Makaya McCraven has a unique multi-dimensional approach – a sonic signature that marries live performances with electronic manipulation and looping into a gritty, uncompromising and seamless whole. His critically lauded debut In the Moment made Top 10 lists in DownBeat and PopMatters, setting the stage for a remarkable career path that continually embraces both discovery and legacy. His recent recordings, Universal Beings and In These Times, have earned widespread critical acclaim.
