Have heard Makaya over the years and he's a heavy cat: legit on all fronts and deeply rooted while also expanding branches into new territory.

[@deaconddd]

So fresh! What modern Jazz supposed to sound like! So in the pocket, all of them. Which I had this performance on vinyl. The guitarist really gets me. Bravo.

[@nofood1]

Absolutely.

You cats are amazingly awesome. You are one with your instruments each and every one of you. Just heard of you today because I am an old guy. I will buy and cherish your music.

[@anthonyzepezauer9181]

I'm an old guy too and just love what these young guys are doing. It's a great time to be a jazz fan.

[@johnunderwood3132]

I can’t believe that I haven’t heard of these guys. I came across this band a few months ago doing a Amoeba what’s in my bag. I can’t stop listening to them! Love it live

[@uproarinruin2629]

Absolutely incredeble. These guys knocked me speechless. Thanks for showing everybody that jazz is far from dead

[@nofood1]

Damn right.

[@elipaljas]

I come back to this one frequently, knocks my socks off every time. This stays fresh! Make this recording into an album, please!

[@markhaviland9776]

Could not even find his current release for under $40, but Makaya's earlier double-CD, In This Moment, was successfully on my birthday-Christmas list. Totally worth it!

[@filipdinevmusic]

Wonderful music and musicians! So happy about the guitar player! Finally someone who has taste for playing and sound!

[@tyronethornton7322]

These guys compliment each other so well, and yes nice to hear a tasteful guitarist, love the leader's work

Of course they can! All the greatest small groups have been like that.

Since swing era, great groups do. Check it out

Diego has never heard of “collective improvisation” like *Bitches Brew.* Don’t be like Diego.
