Makaya Mccraven - In These Times

Released: 23/09/22

In These Times is a collection of polytemporal compositions inspired as much by broader cultural struggles as McCraven's personal experience as a product of a multinational, working class musician community. With contributions from over a dozen musicians and creative partners from his tight-knit circle of collaborators “ including Jeff Parker, Junius Paul, Brandee Younger, Joel Ross, and Marquis Hill “ the music was recorded in five different studios and four live performance spaces while McCraven engaged in extensive post-production work at home.Featuring orchestral, large ensemble arrangements interwoven with the signature organic beat music sound that's become his signature, the albumis an evolution and a milestone for McCraven, the producer. But moreover, it's the strongest and clearest statement we've yet to hear from McCraven, the composer.
