Justin Brown joins Drumheads for a conversation about groove, improvisation, and creating music in the moment. Best known to many listeners for his work with Thundercat, Justin has built a career that crosses jazz, funk, hip-hop, and experimental music. He has also worked with artists including Flying Lotus, Ambrose Akinmusire, Esperanza Spalding, and Vijay Iyer, while leading his own project, NYEUSI. We talk about his approach to the drums, musical chemistry, developing your own voice, and what happens when world-class musicians stop thinking about genres and start listening to each other.
