SUMMARY:Christian McBride & Tip City
DESCRIPTION:Join us in the lobby at 7:15pm for a complimentary wine tasting and art exhibit by a local artist!\nChristian McBride: bass\nDan Wilson: guitar\nEmmet Cohen: piano\nGrammy Award-winning composer and bassist extraordinaire\, Christian McBride\, has been one of the most important and most omnipresent figures in the jazz world for 20 years. Sometimes hard to believe\, considering this man is barely in his 40s.\nBeginning in 1989\, this Philadelphia-born bassist moved to New York City to further his classical studies at the Juilliard School\, only to be snatched up by alto saxophonist Bobby Watson. Since then\, McBride’s list of accomplishments has been nothing short of staggering. As a sideman in the jazz world alone\, he’s worked with the best of the very best — Freddie Hubbard\, Sonny Rollins\, J.J. Johnson\, Ray Brown\, Milt Jackson\, McCoy Tyner\, Roy Haynes\, Chick Corea\, Herbie Hancock and Pat Metheny. In the R&B world\, he’s not only played with\, but also arranged for Isaac Hayes\, Chaka Khan\, Natalie Cole\, Lalah Hathaway\, and the one and only Godfather of Soul himself\, James Brown. In the pop/rock world\, he’s extensively collaborated with Sting\, Carly Simon\, Don Henley\, and Bruce Hornsby. In the hip-hop/neo-soul world\, he’s collaborated with The Roots\, D’Angelo\, and Queen Latifah. In many other specialty projects\, he’s worked closely with opera legend Kathleen Battle\, bass virtuoso Edgar Meyer\, the Shanghai Quartet and the Sonus Quartet. Christian McBride currently hosts and produces National Public Radio’s “Jazz Night in America\,” a weekly radio show and multimedia collaboration between WBGO\, NPR and Jazz at Lincoln Center\, showcasing outstanding live jazz from across the country. He has served as the artistic director for the Newport Jazz Festival since 2016.\nSponsor:\nMoffly Media \n
