Light of Day is the new album from Richard Spaven.

Light of Day is the latest album from acclaimed drummer, composer, and bandleader Richard Spaven, one of the defining rhythmic innovators of modern jazz. Renowned for seamlessly connecting jazz, hip hop, drum and bass, and electronic music, Spaven has built an unmistakable musical voice through collaborations with artists including Loyle Carner, Jordan Rakei, Petter Eldh, and Alfa Mist.
