Makaya McCraven: 'In These Times' Revisited at SFJAZZ

Civic Center

Chicago drummer and producer Makaya McCraven brings his celebrated "In These Times" project to SFJAZZ for a one-night-only performance. Known as the "beat scientist," McCraven crafts hypnotic, sample-based jazz that bridges improvisation and production — expect polyrhythmic grooves, live-looping wizardry, and the raw energy that made his 2022 album a modern classic.

Tips

🥁McCraven is a drummer-composer known for his 'organic beat music' approach—expect improvisation layered with rhythmic loops.
🎷SFJAZZ Center's acoustics are tuned for jazz; grab a seat in the front half of the theater for the full sonic experience.
🍷Arrive early to check out the SFJAZZ lobby bar—it's a low-key hang for jazz heads before the show.
