The Makaya McCraven Project - 7:45PM

A respected jazz artist,Makaya also “sees no need to suppress his hip hop chops or rock spirit in an effort to fit in and be dubbed a jazz drummer” (AllAboutJazz.com). Makaya’s debut album, "Split Decision" (Chicago Sessions, 2012) was well received and earned critical acclaim from the Chicago Tribune, Jazz Weekly, All about Jazz.

Incorporating electronic elements and improvised music, “In the Moment” features Jeff Parker, Marquis Hill, D’Sean Jones, and others. Makaya has toured extensively, recently concluding his part of a 52 city national tour opening for Steely Dan with The Bobby Broom Organi­Sation. He has worked with Archie Shepp, Yusef Lateef, Bernie Worrell, Soulive, Samba Mapangala, Charles Neville, Fareed Haque, Marcus Strickland, Tony Monaco, Willie Pickens, Linonel Louke, among others.
