Your calendar’s not lying—you may just have caught McCraven at the Fine Line in May. The drummer’s now touring behind his latest, In These Times, out last Friday, which, like everything he’s done, builds off his past work while plunging forward into new sounds and styles. Where his last album dove into the Blue Note vaults for remixing and recontextualization, now he’s expanding his sound with orchestral strings and breakbeats. (RACKET)
