Makaya McCraven, the drummer, composer, and producer representing contemporary jazz, releases an album compiling his four new EPs!\n\n\n\nMakaya McCraven, a leading drummer, composer, and producer in contemporary jazz. Having made a name for himself through his works on International Anthem, as well as reconstructions of Gil Scott-Heron and Blue Note recordings, this leading contemporary jazz drummer, composer, and producer releases 'Off the Record', a compilation of four EPs, via XL Recordings, International Anthem, and Nonesuch. The album captures moments of pure improvisation, recorded live during performances, where the space and the presence of the audience are reflected in the sound. It consists of four EPs—'Techno Logic', 'The People's Mixtape', 'Hidden Out!', and 'PopUp Shop'—each independent yet organically connected.\n\nThis work follows his 2022 masterpiece 'In These Times', which GRAMMY called \"McRaven's most ambitious work to date.\" It reaffirms the essence of \"organic beat music\" he established with his 2015 debut 'In the Moment' and further developed in 'Highly Rare' (2017), 'Where We Come From' (2018), and 'Universal Beings' (2018). Makaya reconstructs his live recordings into his unique sonic world through repeated editing, overdubbing, and post-production in his home studio in Chicago. Off the Record, compiling these four EPs, is not merely a collection of recordings. It is also a documentary work celebrating moments of music born from creativity and collaboration, moments that could only exist because they were lived in that place. In this era, people can easily connect through smartphones and virtual worlds. Yet, at the same time, the line between what is real and what is fake is becoming increasingly blurred.What truly matters is that you were actually \"there.\" Nothing beats the experience of being on the scene, feeling the sound with your body. - MacCay MacRaven (1\/2)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTracklisting:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1.YoYoYo Intro\u003cbr\u003e2.Venice\u003cbr\u003e3.Imafan\u003cbr\u003e4.Los Gatos\u003cbr\u003e5.Sweet Stuff\u003cbr\u003e1.Battleships\u003cbr\u003e2.Away\u003cbr\u003e3.Dark Parks\u003cbr\u003e4.Awaze\u003cbr\u003e5.News Feed\u003cbr\u003e6.Braddas\u003cbr\u003e1.Gnu Blue\u003cbr\u003e2.Technology\u003cbr\u003e3.Boom Bapped\u003cbr\u003e4.Prime\u003cbr\u003e5.Strikes Again\u003cbr\u003e1.Choo Choo\u003cbr\u003e2.The Beat Up\u003cbr\u003e3.What a Life\u003cbr\u003e4.Lake Shore Drive Five\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Xl Recordings","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52388900372769,"sku":"191404158814","price":5391.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0568\/8482\/2076\/files\/191404158814.jpg?v=1771907749","url":"https:\/\/cdsvinyljapan.com\/products\/191404158814","provider":"CDs Vinyl Japan Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
