Gil Scott-Heron’s 13th, and last, album ‘I'm New Here’, reimagined in a faithfully classic but refreshing way by Makaya McCraven, a drummer/producer and key player on Chicago’s amazing International Anthem Recording Company.
On the 10th anniversary of release for Scott-Heron’s most contemporary-sounding solo album, McCraven’s “reimagining” lends it a more vintage touch, especially when compared with Jamie xx’s collaboration ‘We’re New Here’ in 2011. It arguably sounds like Gil working back in the ‘70s with a crack squad of soul-jazz players.
