Stream Kassa Overall’s “Please Don’t Kill Me” Featuring Joel Ross & Theo Croker Off Upcoming Album ‘I Think I’m Good’

November 25, 2019 By Morgan Talbot

Offering an atypical approach to the melding of hip hop and jazz, Kassa Overall sets up his own little arts and crafts table in the larger existing field of mostly heavy on the beat, sparse on the jazz music tracks.

In Common is an album co-led by tenor saxophonist Walter Smith III, guitarist Matthew Stevens, vibraphonist Joel Ross, bassist Harish Raghavan, and drummer Marcus Gilmore.

Makaya McCraven – ‘Universal Beings’ (Album Review)

October 25, 2018 By Anthony Dean-Harris

We've been here before, in awe of the drumming, bandleading, and exploration of Makaya McCraven.
