Ubiquitous Bassist Christian McBride Interviewed at AAJ
Christian McBride has, over the course of the past two decades, emerged as one of jazz's leading bassists, equally comfortable in the fusion territory of his recent tour with Chick Corea and John McLaughlin's Five Peace Band as he is a more straight-ahead session, like his own new release, Kind of Brown (Mack Avenue,. 2009).
