Newark drummer-composer Mecadon McCune will bash his way through three sets of modern jazz on Jan. 9 on Cedar Lane in Teaneck. The son of multi-instrumentalist Brandon McCune and opera singer Christine Clemmons-McCune, he started on piano before settling on the drums in high school. He won the ten-grand James Moody Jazz Scholarship to go to Montclair State where he honed his chops into the powerhouse percussionist he is today.
