Makaya Mccraven - Deciphering The Message

Drummer, producer & beat scientist Makaya McCraven digs through the Blue Note vaults with this new remix project that puts a modern bounce on jazz classics by Art Blakey, Horace Silver, & more. McCraven's mastery of the loop is akin to hip-hop's most celebrated beatmakers like J Dilla & Madlib, both of whom have also remixed Blue Note tracks, but McCraven's unique approach also incorporates new recorded elements including his own drums, Joel Ross' vibraphone, Jeff Parker's guitar, & more. 1 A Slice of the Top (Aka "Sliced Off the Top) 2 Sunset (Aka "Son Set") 3 When Your Lover Has Gone (Aka "When You've Left Your Lover") 4 Ecaroh (Aka "Revlis") 5 Tranquillity (Aka "Corner of the World") 6 Wail Bait (Aka "Wait Bail") 7 Coppin' the Haven (Aka "At the Haven Coppin") 8 Frank's Tune (Aka "De'jeff's Tune) 9 Autumn in New York (Aka "Spring in Chicago") 10 Monaco (Aka "Monte Negro") 11 Mr. Jin (Aka "MR.
