Just listened to “New Tijuana Moods” from Charles Mingus recorded in 1962. Christian McBride is keeping jazz alive. Paying tribute to the masters before and inspiring the masters to come. Righteous jam from a terrific band! Thanks

[@samferguson9171]

Sometimes McBride’s virtuosity obscures his actual artistry. The New Jawn is the best showcase for his vision as a bandleader and composer. The edgier the better!!!

[@joldisyri8936]

Mr. McBride, I just have to say that your solo on the first tune was absolutely mind blowing.

[@jackmillermusic]

This has made my favorite in studio performances list🔥

[@knkx]

Fantastic performance! 🔥

[@salal43]

McBride is THE MAN

[@ThembaMashama-oh8wg]

So grounding, Like the earth.

[@stuartreed37]

Damn how have I never heard of them 🤯 thx kexp fr

[@jeanriff7954]

Super groupe de jazz bravo pmjr le sound😊

[@KyleDreherThailand]

Very nice. I was expecting Kush to be the Dizzy Gillespie piece of the same title, but it was a completely different, and interesting, piece. I like what you all do with the Ornette tune. It felt like you made it your own, played it like you meant it. So cool.

[@tombittikoffer412]

I feel bad for Mr McBride and co.... Especially after what San Fran did to them Eagles. But, they might turn me around with this music. That's how good these guys are. Love, ~Stupid Cowboys Fan.

[@drstrange629]

I don’t think I’ve ever felt the spirit ofMingus in Christian quite like I do here

[@Baribrotzer]

It is hard to tell the difference between Mr. McBride's speaking voice and the sound of his instrument!

[@andybaxter4442]

At first, I cringed at this comment ... and then I heard the bowed intro to the second tune right after he finished speaking - and when he uses the bow, it does have the timbre of his speaking voice. Now I want to find a clip of McBride singing.

[@Baribrotzer]

@@andybaxter4442 I just meant it as a joke - his voice is SO deep, way down in the cellar. But as for singing, I think his wife in the singer in the McBride family.

[@andybaxter4442]

No, it's funny, but at 9:05, when he talks and then immediately plays the bowed line, it gets a little truer than I expected.

[@staffanolofsson8201]

Funny! But I can still recognice that difference so I am not completely deaf...

[@mg-yl1uv]

I guess Charles Mingus and Eric Dolphy would have loved this.

[@lacrime35]

The first guy in dark blue had some problems with his instrument 😣 McBride great as always

[@bobblues1158]

Happening in every criteria. Swing, cohesivness, intent, virtuosity, originality. Made my evening! Thank you all. Bright Moments!

[@Edelce]

this is how bro sounds? damn, deep ass voiced mofo

[@staffanolofsson8201]

9:05 John Day, with bass clarinet! Thank you so much from northern Sweden!

[@kenschestok9515]

I needed to hear this jawn!

[@rysrys5213]

Wow!

[@mrSPEEDCASKET]

Fye jawn

[@staffanolofsson8201]

I believe this is the best jawn I ever listened to.

[@ChuckSilva]

What is the secret to this amazing upright bass production stellar sound coming across clear and ‘apparently low’ my iPad speakers ?

[@bmoynih]

The secret is: 1. Incredible bass player*** 2. A fine instrument 3. Mic choice and placement 4. A job well done by the recording engineer.

PEACE LOVE :)

[@markmontimurro8921]

"John Day", that cat must have been complex but deeply saddened by something or other. Difficult tune to absorb. Discordant finish says it all.
