You can catch my chat with the great bassist Christian McBride in the latest episode of Harmonious World.
Such a good man and an insightful chat.
Christian has worked with so many great musicians and we discuss his work with just a few of them (and the eight Grammys he has been awarded), including Sting, Dee Dee Bridgewater. We also talk about some of the tracks on Prime, his album that was released earlier in 2023.
You can catch Christian with some of his musical friends at the Village Vanguard, as we discuss. Alternatively, check out some of his videos and you can see what I meant about the concentration that goes alongside the fun.
I hope you also enjoy the first playing of the new Harmonious World theme tune, composed and performed by Joe English.
Christian McBride’s New Jawn is back with their highly anticipated sophomore album, Prime, the follow-up from McBride’s GRAMMY® nominated group. Featuring original compositions from each band member as well as fresh takes on songs from Sonny Rollins, Ornette Coleman and Larry Young, this group offers an exhilarating space of exploration for the 8-time GRAMMY® Award-winning McBride to stretch his veteran wings.
The band consists of McBride on bass alongside Josh Evans (trumpet), Marcus Strickland (sax and bass clarinet) and Nasheet Waits (drums). Incidentally, Christian discusses his sometimes fellow band member Ulyssees Owens Jr, who I interviewed back in the summer of 2021.
