PLAYLIST
BEHIND THE SOUND OF TAYLOR MCFERRIN

August 18, 2018 | by SFJAZZ

Eldest son of celebrated singer Bobby McFerrin, Taylor McFerrin is a cutting edge DJ, producer, keyboardist, beatboxer, and composer. You can hear his influences of 70s soul, jazz fusion, electronic music and hip hop on his debut full-length album, Early Riser, on producer Flying Lotus’ BRAINFEEDER label.

Taylor captures many of these influences in a curated playlist "Behind The Sound," which we recommend revisiting before his four-night run at SFJAZZ (September 6-9, 2018) with young drum phenom and grandson of Roy Haynes, Marcus Gilmore.
