Christian Mcbride Big Band – Without Further Ado, Vol 1 (LP Vinyl)

Christian McBride has spent decades anchoring some of the most important sessions in modern jazz, but leading a big band lets him flex a different kind of authority, one rooted in swing-era architecture and contemporary punch. This 2025 release marks the first volume of what promises to be an ongoing document of his large ensemble work, a project that sits comfortably alongside his reputation as one of the most versatile and in-demand bassists of his generation.
