Chicago-based drummer/producer Makaya McCraven shares new track ‘Beat Science’ and ‘Do It Live’ video excerpt, taken from forthcoming new album, an addendum to his critically-acclaimed 2018 release Universal Beings and follows on from his reimagined Gil Scott-Heron album ‘We’re New Again’ released earlier this year.
‘Beat Science’ is the second single from the new album ‘Universal Beings E&F Sides’ by Chicago-based drummer/producer Makaya McCraven. Recorded at H010 in Ridgewood, Queens, New York. ‘Beat Science’ is a locked-in hip-hop jazz groove, with McCraven stripped-back drums featuring the talents of Brandee Younger on harp, Joel Ross on vibraphone, Dezron Douglas on double bass.
The album is an addendum to his critically-acclaimed 2018 release Universal Beings, which The New York Times said “affirms the drummer and beatsmith’s position as a major figure in creative music,” Universal Beings E&F Sides presents fourteen new pieces of organic beat music cut from the original sessions, prepared and produced by Makaya as a soundtrack to the Universal Beings documentary film.
