McCarter Theatre Center (Matthews Theater)

Experience an extraordinary evening of musical innovation with Makaya McCraven and SHABAKA. McCraven, a visionary drummer and composer, will perform pieces from his latest album, In These Times, blending jazz, folk, and hip-hop in a genre-defying experience. SHABAKA, renowned for his work with bands like Sons of Kemet, the Comet is Coming and SHABAKA and the Ancestors will showcase his newest flute-forward album, Perceive its Beauty, Acknowledge its Grace, offering a rich sound that spans cultures and traditions. Don’t miss this unique opportunity to witness two trailblazing artists pushing the boundaries of contemporary jazz music.

"Throughout, one factor remained constant: Every piece featured a groove you could get lost in and, as demonstrated by many in the sold-out crowd, move to." -- Rolling Stone
