Product Details

Christian McBride has long carried the torch for straight-ahead jazz with an authority few bassists of his generation can match. This tribute zeroes in on three figures who defined the soul-jazz and hard bop intersection of the 1960s, with Jimmy Smith's organ mastery, Wes Montgomery's thumb-picking genius, and Oliver Nelson's arranging brilliance all finding a natural home in McBride's big band setting.

2020 release. Christian McBride solidifies his role as the champion of the past, present and future of jazz with his GRAMMYr Award-winning Big Band's new album in tribute to Jimmy Smith, Wes Montgomery and Oliver Nelson. Featuring special guests Joey DeFrancesco and Mark Whitfield, "For Jimmy, Wes and Oliver" honors the historical legacy of the jazz legends who shaped the soul of music for generations to come. Christian McBride - bass Joey DeFrancesco - organ Mark Whitfield - guitar Quincy Phillips - drums
