Bringin' It

Bringin' It, the highly anticipated release which follows the Christian McBride Big Band's 2011 GRAMMYr Award-winning debut, The Good Feeling, puts his status and skills as an all-around entertainer on full display. If it is true that jazz is a sponge for musicians to absorb and then squeeze out what they hear to produce their own sound, McBride has been "bringin' it" for quite a long time. From his amazing quintet, Inside Straight; to his avant-garde leaning quartet, New Jawn; the contemporary sound of his fusion group, A Christian McBride Situation; to the critically acclaimed music he's made with his trio, the bassist has always disseminated his own unique 360-degree view of jazz.
