Here is the 12th album by the stylish double bassist Christian McBride, an intense moment of pure joy, surrounded by dream musicians including the excellent vibraphonist Warren Wolf, for this Live at Village Vanguard.Inside Straight is the quintet that launched McBride's collaboration with Mack Avenue Records (releasing Kind of Brown in 2009).
As always, in a relatively classic style, Christian McBride explodes, in his compositions and interpretations, offering at the heart of this album a magnificent tribute to Maya Angelou, who some called Dr Angelou, author, essayist and American poet whose work focused on civil rights, and who died in 2014. Fans of classic jazz won’t be disappointed, while fans of modern jazz will salute the inventiveness and quality of the compositions.
