Makaya McCraven Where Did The Night Go

Drummer and producer Makaya McCraven has a new and very special project on the horizon. We’re New Again sees the Chicago native reimagining hometown hero Gil Scott-Heron’s final album I’m New Here, the second full-length interpretation of the record following Jamie xx’s 2011 We’re New Here. Intermingling the original sessions with a mix of samples collected from his improvised live gigs featuring new wave Chicago jazz musicians as well as vintage samples courtesy of his musician parents’ record collection, the visionary McCraven breathes new life into the final opus of one of the most influential American poets of the 1970s and beyond. Stream the first single “Where Did The Night Go” below featuring a sample from the Stephen McCraven Quartet’s Silhouette of Eric, and pre-order the vinyl (at $13 it’s a steal!).
