We catch up with Cameron Graves at the Troubadour right after the Planetary Prince record release show. The show featured many special guests including Stanley Clarke and Jada Pinkett Smith. His new album presents heavy, complex compositions, featuring notable musicians such as Ronald Bruner Jr. and Thundercat.

Graves is a founding member of West Coast Get Down, and has been on the road in metal bands. He recently traveled internationally with Kamasi Washington, and is currently on the Uprising tour with Miles Mosely.
