Makaya McCraven is a beat scientist. The bleeding edge drummer, producer, and sonic collagist is one of Chicago’s savviest cultural players and a multi-talented force whose inventive process & intuitive, cinematic style defy categorization. With a voice as smooth as velvet, Samara Joy’s star seems to rise with each performance, from her winning the 2019 Sarah Vaughan International Jazz Vocal Competition to headlining at the 2021 Charlie Parker Jazz Festival. Mahogany L. Browne is a writer, organizer, & educator. She is based in Brooklyn and is the first-ever Poet-in-Residence at the Lincoln Center.
