Christian McBride & Ursa Major at Assembly

Read "Christian McBride & Ursa Major at Assembly" reviewed by Mike Jurkovic


Christian McBride & Ursa Major Assembly Kingston, New YorkMarch 18, 2025 More than a West Philly kid who fell in love with the city's smooth '70s soul, bassist/bandleader/composer Christian McBride is a true ambassador of the vibe.

Carl Allen: Tippin'

Read "Tippin'" reviewed by Dan Bilawsky


Save for a pair of co-led albums with bassist Rodney Whitaker, it's been more than two decades since master drummer Carl Allen released an album under his own name. Rectifying the situation, he delivers this high-appeal, in-the-pocket trio program with bassist Christian McBride and tenor saxophonist Chris Potter. When choosing the personnel for Tippin', McBride was the obvious bass choice from the beginning. There's tremendous shared history here--McBride appears on more of the drummer's recordings than any ...
