“Impassioned and bristling with surprises
...[Sanborn] the great saxophonist delivered an eloquent,
personal and revealing performance.” GUARDIAN [UK]
“The bassist Christian McBride’s new trio is constant sleek fun, organized and
coordinated. It’s connected to a line in small-group jazz going back to the 1950s that
made elegance and continuity and affability a priority.” THE NEW YORK TIMES
Bassist extraodinaire, composer, arranger, educator, curator and administrator, CHRISTIAN MCBRIDE, has been one of
the most important and most omnipresent figures in the jazz world for 20 years. Sometimes hard to believe considering
this man is not yet 40. DAVID SANBORN is one of the most distinctive saxophonists in contemporary music since the
late 70s, having released more than 24 albums, won six Grammy Awards, and has had eight Gold albums and one Platinum album. Having inspired countless other musicians, David was a seminal influence in reintroducing the saxophone
as a prominent instrument in contemporary Rock, Pop and R&B

For over 20 years, CHRISTIAN MCBRIDE has appeared in numerous musical settings with just about any musician
imaginable in the jazz as well as R&B and pop worlds. From playing with the likes of Milt Jackson, Roy Haynes, Chick
Corea, Herbie Hancock and Pat Metheny; to playing with and/or arranging for the likes of Isaac Hayes, Chaka Khan, Lalah
Hathaway, Sting and the legendary James Brown—what has always been unique about McBride is his versatility. In addition
to his work in the neo-soul arena with The Roots, D’Angelo, Queen Latifah and others, the Philadelphia native has also led
his own ensembles: The Christian McBride Band, A Christian McBride Situation, his most recent group, Inside Straight and
with his acclaimed Trio featuring drummer Jerome Jennings and pianist Christian Sands.
The career of DAVID SANBORN has threaded him through some killer groups and sharing the stage with equally amazing
artists. He joined the Butterfield Blues Band and was at Woodstock with them. Following that, Dave toured with Stevie
Wonder and recorded for Wonder’s Talking Book album, played with The Rolling Stones, and toured with David Bowie with
whom he recorded the famous solo heard on “Young Americans”. At the same time, Dave was touring and recording with
the great Gil Evans, dividing his time between the two. After Dave started his solo career he collaborated with such artists
as Paul Simon and James Taylor. In his over three-and-half decade career, which includes Grammy Awards, chart-topping
albums and the hit single, “Seduction”, Dave has always pushed the boundaries, and he continues to do so today.
