Christian McBride and Sting - Consider Me Gone

Amazon amzn.to/nlmFKm | iTunes bit.ly/w05JQ7
Here is the music video duet of Sting's song, Consider Me Gone -- featured on the new album, Conversations With Christian.
On his eight CDs that precede Conversations With Christian, bassist Christian McBride has framed himself in ensemble contexts, most recently on the widely lauded 2009 Mack Avenue release Kind of Brown, which showcases the Inside Straight quintet (his return to the acoustic jazz format as a leader) and The Good Feeling, released in September, comprising a suite of well-wrought charts for an A-list 17-piece big band.
On Conversations with Christian, the 39-year-old maestro places himself in the forefront of the flow on a duet apiece with "13 of my closest musical friends and cohorts"-singers Angélique Kidjo, Sting and Dee Dee Bridgewater; pianists George Duke, Eddie Palmieri and Chick Corea, as well as Dr. Billy Taylor and Hank Jones (who both passed away in 2010); violinist Regina Carter; trumpeter Roy Hargrove; guitarist Russell Malone; tenor saxophonist Ron Blake; and actress Gina Gershon. In the process, McBride unleashes the full measure of his already legendary skills, crafting as complete a portrait of his diverse interests-different vibrations of the blues and African-American church experience, bebop, the American Songbook, the Latin Tinge, the Freedom Principle, even comedy-as he has ever presented.
"I love and appreciate so many different styles and cultures," he remarks. "Changing hats, going from one project to another, from a straight-ahead session to an R&B session to a pop session, has always fueled my activity. I try to put all those different sounds into one pot and make it a coherent, jazz-inflected sound."

The lyrics... clearly talking about failed relationships... brilliant!

Big respect for my man Sting. What an incredible range of musicianship he has. I remember his Punk days with the Police. And then all of a sudden, he is pushing jazz. He had my head spinning. LOL

[@MrLuba6a]

Wow...two Giants playing together 👏

[@1gombro]

There should me more of such intimate duets. Sting sounds superb being assisted only with the bass- and what a bass!! Love it.

[@kenhamasaka2524]

Sting plays a mean standup bass himself. See the movie, Stormy Monday where Sting plays some bass, that made me sit up and take him very seriously...and have ever since.

[@davidespinosa1910]

So amazing to finally hear the bass. What a sound !

[@Kamilla716]

Wow! Two masters of the craft letting loose! I always feel so fortunate to have this kind of aural experience. To add freshness to a song I've heard the same way for so long (on my cd) is truly fantastic. This was wonderful.

[@estebanmartinezfragnaud9477]

exelente dueto gracias por compartir

[@ibassnote]

McBride sounds incredible in any setting, always fitting in, always adding something. Sting is singing his ass off here, nice to see. Obviously he is getting off on McBrides superior playing. I could probably listen to an album of this material.

[@ladyluckradio305]

Jason Sypher they make a great sound and soul. I have seen them live and met them and whoah

oh wow. Mr. McBride loking older these days. nice. So nice of Sting to come back to jazz.

[@jakeornot6306]

Funny. i can't believe that Mr. McBride has packed so much into his young self. As of December 3, 2020, the gentleman is still only 48 years old.

[@niss2142]

Errr? When did he leave? 🙂

[@pierlobo]

Quand le "moins" peut le "plus".... yeah !

[@niss2142]

Where you been? LOL

[@okrajoe]

After today, consider me gone.

[@pauldrewry7010]

one should see Christian really burn like Sting never ever could

[@andreashoppe1969]

what does mcbride do to get that "kicking" sound or "ghost note" on the off-beats?

[@henriettczerovszky572]

Stpuptedithere:)))) impro-king✌️

[@linusjazz]

Really cool! I'm not sure about the chorus effect on the guitar though...

[@sebmejia]

After all... Perfection is a possibility...

[@TomSimpson4]

That was really tasty!

[@henryburnett_]

What is this guitar?

[@Mehrcat7]

Was it only a "piece" of pish video? Which piece did you not like?

[@olgaloomans4648]

Mooi echt geplaatst op fb

[@ibassnote]

Can''t we just see the live take of the whole song? Most of the viewers here will be musicians who want to see the music being made.

[@CWBella]

Yeah, there were a couple runs by McBride I would have like to see.

[@mclrk]

This was a 10/10 until the video editor got a hold of it.

[@jakeornot6306]

What's with all the shots of the sound board guy?

[@turnerwarehouse]

video response: watch?v=EcEEfZBFrNw

[@SwappingIsSaving]

Not a patch on the original. Sorry.

[@paulfishman4273]

Sting and McBride really know how to team up and deliver a swinging Sex groove on the porno Bass and guitar. Sexuality and hot lust is their artistic signature in this vibe.

[@VFYTChannel]

but to look for heaven, is to stay here in hell..

[@ozentertainment6767]

I hate that attitude. Uncomfortable.
