Christian Mcbride Trio – Live at the Village Vanguard (CD)
Product Details
Christian McBride has been one of the defining voices in acoustic jazz bass since his emergence on the Philadelphia scene in the early 1990s, recording and performing alongside legends including Freddie Hubbard, McCoy Tyner, and Chick Corea before establishing himself as a bandleader of real authority. The Village Vanguard has always been jazz's most unforgiving room, where the acoustics and the history demand your best night every night, and McBride's trio rises to exactly that occasion here.
2016 Grammyr Winner for Best Improvised Jazz Solo on Cherokee. This record is the fruit of McBride's long association with the Vanguard, where his first appearance as a leader for the historic club was in 1995. In 2007, the bassist and charismatic club owner Lorraine Gordon started an annual one-week residency, which featured McBride's quintet, Inside Straight. "Lorraine enjoyed my trio and my quintet, Inside Straight. We had such large crowds, so after a few years with such supportive audiences, we added an extra week. Instead of doing the same band for two weeks, I just started bringing in a different band. This has been an ongoing relationship that I look forward to maintaining as long as I can."
