Original Tribute to Christian McBride | Bass Virtuoso, Hard Bop, Big Band & Groove Master

Benvenuti a un nuovo appuntamento della serie Original Tribute, interamente dedicato a uno dei bassisti, contrabbassisti e bandleader più premiati e influenti del jazz moderno: Christian McBride.

Vincitore di ben 8 Grammy Awards, Christian McBride rappresenta il ponte perfetto tra la grande tradizione Hard Bop, lo swing travolgente del trio acustico, la potenza orchestrale della Big Band e le esplorazioni Jazz-Funk / Fusion. In quest'ora speciale ripercorriamo la sua poliedrica carriera attraverso 11 straordinari brani: dai classici esordi di "Gettin' To It" e "In A Hurry", alla velocità vertiginosa di "Cherokee" e la raffinatezza di "The Shade Of The Cedar Tree". Spazio poi all'anima elettrica e funk con "Boogie Woogie Waltz" e "Technicolor Nightmare", per poi tornare allo swing intimo di "I Thought About You", la potenza monumentale della Big Band in "Night Train", e le sfumature eleganti di "Uncle James", "A Taste of Honey" e la splendida rilettura di "Summer Soft".

Un concentrato di virtuosissimo, groove travolgente ed eleganza jazz senza confini.
