Some seven years in the making, In These Times is the hugely impressive new album from prolific drummer, composer and producer Makaya McCraven.
Regular shoppers will recall that we went pretty wild for McCraven's Where We Come and Universal Beings albums on the International Anthem Recording Company label, not to mention the remarkable We’re New Again (A Reimagining of Gil-Scott Heron's I'm New Here) and the Deciphering The Message project where he searched through the Blue Note vaults. His new In These Times album really is something else, a passion project that plays on both his beat making and production strengths, but really highlights most his seemingly limitless imagination. It really is beautiful stuff.
