Our Take

Christian McBride serves up a delightful musical feast with "Conversations With Christian", a fusion of smooth jazz and soulful grooves that is sure to leave you tapping your feet and nodding your head. McBride's virtuosic bass playing is on full display here, as he effortlessly navigates through intricate melodies and infectious rhythms.

The album kicks off with the funky "Groove for Tony", a tribute to the late jazz pianist Tony Williams. McBride's nimble fingers dance across the fretboard, accompanied by a lively horn section that adds a touch of old-school cool to the track.

"Ballad of Ernie Washington" provides a soothing reprieve from the upbeat energy of the previous track, with McBride's bass gently caressing your ears and soothing your soul. The dreamy melodies and lush harmonies create a sense of serenity that is truly captivating.

As the album progresses, McBride takes us on a musical journey through various genres and styles, showcasing his versatility as a musician. From the Latin-infused rhythms of "El Cabrero" to the soulful vibes of "Consider Me Gone", McBride proves that he is a master of his craft.

Overall, "Conversations With Christian" is a must-listen for any jazz enthusiast looking for a fresh take on the genre. McBride's impeccable musicianship and infectious energy make this album a joy to listen to, and a standout in his already impressive discography. Go ahead, give it a spin - you won't be disappointed.
