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).

Christian McBride: Getting the Inside Straight
by Esther Berlanga-Ryan
If we think about it for a little while, it's possible to believe that there is something almost mystic and undeniably powerful about jazz. The way it developed through the years and its constant ignition-like energy; the creativity of those who lead the way and those who continue the journey today; the improvisation that takes over ...
Richard Bona: The Ten Shades of Blues

Various Artists: Hur! Hommage a la Musique de Christian Vander
by John Kelman
When French drummer/composer Christian Vander put together the first incarnation of his since-enduring group Magma, releasing Kobaïa (Seventh Records) in 1970, it's unlikely that he'd have known the musical subculture he was spawning. A unique blend of fusion, neoclassicism, symphonic, and progressive rock, heavily reliant on relentless repetition and chanting in Vander's created Kobaïan language, Zeuhl ...
