A focused listening evening dedicated to International Anthem — the Chicago label reshaping modern jazz.

Makaya Now! draws from Makaya McCraven’s new double album Off the Record — a collection of four interconnected EPs built from live improvisations and reworked in his Chicago studio. A deep dive into his evolving “organic beat music” language, bridging In These Times with the present moment.
