well, this finishes (?) an unintentional run of shows from duc des lombards in paris.  this show by makaya mccraven is a little different than the last two postings here, more improvisational.  and having marquis hill on trumpet is a real plus.  see also this posting of a marquis hill show with makaya mccraven on drums, a nice counterpoint to this show.

the new york times had a good review of a makaya mccraven show (from a few months earlier, with a slightly different lineup) that touches on some of his techniques, and this show has a few comments on the same (just before a great cover of miles davis’ shivad from “live evil”).

‘elgaucho’ shared this on dime a couple of days after the show was broadcast.

‘perks’ shared this on dime back in august 2015.  i pulled this show back up after i read or heard something about marquis hill &/or blacktet recently.  no idea where.  but this turned out to be a real jem, and perks’ recording does it justice.
