Nate Chinen - Conversation: Beat Down with Antonio Sánchez, Nate Smith & Makaya McCraven
Friday, March 31, 2023
Knoxville, TN @ East Tennessee Historical Society - Big Ears Festival - 10am

This conversation is not about drumming or even rhythm, strictly speaking.

It will explore ways in which pulse and texture can unlock the potential of an ensemble, or a piece of music. Antonio Sanchez, Nate Smith, and Makaya McCraven are well attuned to that coloristic mode of thinking.
