Catalog Number: IARC3LP11 Color: Black Format: LP UPC: 0634457198265 Makaya McCraven's International Anthem debut In The Moment is the album that properly introduced the then-burgeoning drummer/producer to the world. In many ways, it also laid the groundwork for a working method that both McCraven and the label have returned to again and again over the years: nearly 48 hours of live improvised performance recorded by IARC house engineer Dave Vettraino at 1 venue over 12 months and 28 shows - culled, cut, rendered, and remixed into 19 potent pieces of organic beat music by McCraven. This early exploration of the concept is based in the nightlife--in relaxed and unostentatious gatherings of prodigious Chicago musicians letting loose one moment at a time. That the individual stature of the musicians involved has risen dramatically in the years since is only proof positive that these sessions in a renovated bank vault were a casually high-level convention of some of the city's best. Featuring Jeff Parker, Joshua Abrams, Junius Paul, Marquis Hill, De'Sean Jones, Matt Ulery, Tony Barba, and Justin "Justefan" Thomas.
