Taylor McFerrin and Marcus Gilmore have a lot in common. The two artists both have an impressive musical lineage – McFerrin is the eldest son of vocalist and classical conductor Bobby McFerrin; Gilmore the grandson of legendary jazz drummer Roy Haynes – and both are part of the thirty-something year old set working off the improvisational foundation of jazz and creating music with a 21st century, often technologically-infused aesthetic.

Ninja Tune producer, keyboardist and beatboxer Taylor McFerrin (also fo R+R = Now supergroup) released his debut album Early Riser in 2014 to wide acclaim. It featured guest appearances from his legendary father Bobby McFerrin, Nai Palm of Hiatus Kaiyote, Thundercat, Robert Glasper and Marques Gilmore, cementing his place among the new jazz elite.

This album was not their first collaboration. They’ve shared stages from San Francisco Jazz to Cape Town.

Gilmore’s collaborations include the who’s who of the diversity of jazz from Pat Metheny to Chick Corea, Dave Holland, Esperanza Spalding, Herbie Hancock, Thundercat, Brandee Younger, McFerrin, Vijay Iyer, Lionel Louke to Chief Adjuah and then some.
