Featured Gig | Christian McBride, A-Trane Berlin

Written by | Concerts, News

Bassist Christian McBride is a master musician who has appeared on over 300 records. He is easily one of the most accomplished bass players alive, and his resume as a bandleader is also impressive. McBride and his New band “New Jawn” will play on the 13th of September at Berlin’s famous “A-Trane Jazz Club.

Join Christian to experience New Jawn, which, translated from Philadelphian, could be described as McBride’s “new joint.” The quartet includes Josh Evans, Nasheet Waits and Marcus Strickland, musicians that are regularly featured at Jazz at Lincoln Center and all over the city both as bandleaders and as sidemen with some of jazz’s biggest names. Fans of McBride’s other small groups will surely love this ensemble, and its unusual two-horns, no-piano lineup gives it a unique flavor. With just bass and drums holding down the rhythm section, McBride and Waits provide as rich and driving a foundation as any group could hope for.

Christian Mcbride (Bass)
Marcus Strickland (Sax)
Josh Evans (Trumpet)
