ABOUT THIS VIDEO:
Drummer extraordinaire Makaya McCraven brought his trio to open the 2021 La Rochelle Jazz Festival on October 13. A strong representative of the vibrant new American jazz scene, McCraven shapeshifts his five originals he presents for this show, using samplers at times, and generally taking the drums to a new place in the jazz legacy. He’s an inventive drummer who flies beyond swing, using a percussive, hip-hop styled improvisational thrust to the music. He deals in a riveting drive and a powerful groove in this set that features saxophonist/flutist De’Sean Jones who also blows an EWI to accentuate the jazz/electronic mix.
The France-born, Chicago-based, University of Massachusetts, Amherst-educated McCraven was mentored by such jazz icons as Archie Shepp, Marion Brown and Yusef Lateef which explains why he became so free to stretch beyond the norm to become an original voice. He’s earned the nickname 'Beat Scientist'. By the end of the set finale, “This Place, That Place,” McCraven showed how he cooks up a mean jazz experiment.
