  • Description

    In a stellar career that continues to showcase his remarkable talents as a consummate musician, bassist Christian McBride reaches another milestone with 'The Good Feeling', his first big band recording as a leader. The band includes well know jazz musicians saxophonist Steve Wilson, multi-reedman Ron Blake, trumpeter Nicholas Payton, trombonists Michael Dease and Steve Davis and vocalist Melissa Walker. McBride arranges and conducts the project which has been a life-long dream of his.

    For over 20 years, McBride has appeared in numerous musical settings with just about any musician imaginable in the jazz as well as R&B and pop worlds. From playing with the likes of Milt Jackson, Roy Haynes, Chick Corea, Herbie Hancock and Pat Metheny; to playing with and/or arranging for the likes of Isaac Hayes, Chaka Khan, Lalah Hathaway, Sting and the legendary James Brown, what has always been unique about McBride is his versatility. In addition he has worked with soul/hip-hop artists such as The Roots, D'Angelo, Queen Latifah and others, the Philadelphia native has also led his own ensembles: The Christian McBride Band, A Christian McBride Situation and his most recent group, Inside Straight (with whom he recorded the critically acclaimed 2009 album, 'Kind of Brown').
