Deciphering The Message CD
Drummer, producer & beat scientist Makaya McCraven digs into the Blue Note vaults with this new remix project that puts a modern bounce on jazz classics by Art Blakey, Horace Silver, Hank Mobley, Kenny Burrell, Kenny Dorham & more. McCravenâs mastery of the loop is akin to hip-hopâs most celebrated beatmakers like J Dilla & Madlib, both of whom have also remixed Blue Note classics, but McCravenâs unique approach also incorporates newly recorded elements including his own drums, Joel Rossâ vibraphone, Jeff Parkerâs guitar, Marquis Hillâs trumpet & more.

- Sunset (AKA "Son Set")
