Christian McBride has blazed an extraordinary trail as one of the most preeminent musicians of his time. Over the last three decades, the nine-time Grammy winner has made momentous advances as a dynamic musician and recording artist, a prolific composer-arranger-producer, a curator of culture, and a dedicated educator and mentor. A prolific bandleader, McBride's ensembles are each distinctive extensions of his creative inspiration, which span jazz, funk, soul, Latin, hip hop, and rhythm and blues. His celebrated groups—including his newest, Ursa Major, joining him here—have not only enjoyed consistent critical acclaim, but they have also emphasized his role as an early presenter of rising stars. McBride's staggeringly diverse career also includes the role of host of NPR's public radio program Jazz Night in America, as well as The Lowdown: Conversations with Christian on SiriusXM. Don't miss this evening of stellar jazz with a star!
