Info zu The Q Sessions

Eight-time Grammy® Award-winning bassist, composer and educator Christian McBride assembles a stellar line up of musicians – Mike Stern (guitar), Marcus Strickland (saxophone), Eric Harland (drums) – for "The Q Sessions." Recorded at the famed Power Station studios in New York during an unprecedented year, "The Q Sessions" serves as a time capsule of this time we find ourselves in. "The Q Sessions" features a new composition by Christian, “Brouhaha,” and McBride's interpretation of two classics: "Blues Connotation" and "On Green Dolphin Street."

“What a pleasure it was to put together a special group featuring one of my favorite guitarists of all time, Mike Stern. It was a great day in the studio with Mike, Marcus and Eric – not only jamming a couple of tunes, but to also record a new original of mine, ‘Brouhaha,'” said McBride.

"The Q Sessions is an outstanding project from the ever-creative McBride. The three songs give ample space for the ensemble to stretch out and express themselves. Plus, McBride has added another catchy tune to his catalog with the well-written “Brouhaha.” Stern and McBride have incredible chemistry, and jazz fans will want to drink deeply from this project."

Christian McBride
When Philadelphia-born bassist/bandleader Christian McBride arrived in New York in 1989 as a Juilliard student, he was the “Godchild of the Groove” with unlimited potential.

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 quite impressive. Join us at Dizzy’s Club Coca-Cola 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.
