Hack and I are seeing Christian McBride and Inside Straight on Thursday night
He is quite awesome, a jazz legacy. And a well played stand up bass makes me swoon.
We saw him at Tanglewood this summer when he opened for Wynton Marsalis, which was wonderful. His drummer Ulysses Owen and pianist Christian Sands are also exceptional.
I'm excited to see him at the Iron Horse Music Hall, one of my favorite venues because it is so intimate (less than 200 seats, kind of an old boho cafe/irish pub style hall), the space is a bit of a legend in its own right.
