Christian McBride is THE bassist-in-demand. Over the course of three albums as a leader and over a hundred as a sideman, Christian McBride has arguably become the most acclaimed acoustic and electric bassist to emerge from the jazz world in the 1990's. His passion for musical diversity has lead him to work with everyone from Chick Corea to Pat Metheny, from Diane Krall to Bruce Hornsby, from Quincy Jones to Sting. This performance is part of a day-long high school jazz festival and competition sponsored by the Fine Arts Center and Umass Department of Music and Dance.
