Makaya McCraven's Universal Beings stands as a pivotal release that captures contemporary jazz opening outward—geographically, rhythmically, and conceptually. This groundbreaking album showcases the Chicago-based drummer and producer's innovative approach to blending electronic elements with hip-hop sensibilities and cutting-edge jazz composition.
What makes this IA11 Edition truly special is its global DNA, featuring recordings captured across four iconic cities: New York, Chicago, London, and Los Angeles, each contributing its own distinct flavor to the sonic tapestry. This deluxe vinyl edition comes pressed at the renowned Pallas facility in Germany and includes premium packaging with a heavyweight reverse-board jacket, obi strip, and comprehensive 16-page insert booklet that documents this remarkable cross-continental musical journey.
