CHRISTIAN MCBRIDE IN CONCERT:
Virtuoso jazz bassist Christian McBride comes from a long line of accomplished bass players, and it shows. At his concerts McBride plays with the elegance and poise of a true veteran, demonstrating the impressive chops that have earned him three Grammys and landed him on more than 300 recordings. From collaborations with James Brown and Sting to his latest role as big band leader, McBride possesses a timeless showmanship that he'll bring to the stage on his upcoming tour.
BACKGROUND SNAPSHOT:
During his childhood, Philadelphia-born Christian McBride was mentored by his father and great uncle -- both talented bass players. Hailed as a teen prodigy, McBride joined jazz saxophonist Bobby Watson's group at age 17 before going on to play in the bands of numerous other legends including Benny Golson, Milt Jackson, and J.J. Johnson. He made his album debut as a solo player in 1995 with Gettin' To It, and has released more than ten solo albums and toured extensively since then. Over the course of his decorated career he has collaborated with a number of jazz luminaries including Chick Corea and Herbie Hancock and played as a sideman with such diverse artists as Paul McCartney, Queen Latifah, and Celine Dion. Back on the road McBride will treat ticket buyers to his unforgettable musicianship on a string of highly anticipated dates.
This was an exceptional evening with Joe Sealy’s condensed Africville and Christian’s Opus of MLK, Mohammed Ali, Rosa Parks and Malcolm X. Learned so much and the music was amazing as was Jackie Richardson!
The whole event was great...live Orchestra was beautifully curated
Did not know what to expect as I was at the time not familiar with Christian McBride's work. He did not disappoint. Incredible music. Would Definitely see it again.
The show was excellent! The musicianship, singig and musical score, is a must see.
I would crawl over crushed glass to experience an evening like this one.
Loved the concert! The talent in that room was unreal. I felt they drew the audience in well, had great storytelling, and overall made it a fun and engaging experience. To top it all off the music was awesome!
Absolutely wonderful show! First half with Joe Sealey, Jackie Richardson, Paul Novotny providing some Canadian history ( Africville) and the second half with Christian Macbride revisiting the words civil rights icons in a beautiful musical arrangement
