9pm – A Christian McBride Situation

For close to two decades, Christian McBride has been widely recognized as one of the most important and original American musicians to emerge from the jazz and improvised music scene. A Grammy Award-winning virtuoso of the acoustic and electric bass, he is recognized as an accomplished composer and arranger, with a flair for spontaneous creation. His collaborations as a bassist read like a “who’s who” of quintessential artists of our time, having been featured on more than 200 recordings over the past 17 years and composing nearly 40 musical works along with dozens of arrangements.

A Christian McBride Situation is a unique opportunity to listen to jazz improvisation at its best.  Each Situation features a special configuration of virtuosic musicians that Christian McBride doesn’t normally tour with.  This performance, which was put together especially for SOPAC, features Ron Blake on saxophones, David Gilmore on guitar, and DJ Logic on turntables.
