Christian McBride Trio 'I Guess I'll Have to Forget' | Live Studio Session

Back in 2012, bassist Christian McBride stopped by the KNKX performance studios for a mini-concert with pianist Peter Martin. It was one of the most elevating duet performance we’d ever heard.
This time, though, Christian brought his trio with him: Pianist Christian Sands, and drummer Ulysses Owens, Jr.
Together they’re one of the most in-demand trios on the international club and festival circuit. And here they are, ready to play 3 wonderful pieces of music, just for you.
The Christian McBride Trio includes Christian McBride (bass), Christian Sands (piano), and Ulysses Owens, Jr. (drums).

Man, this man behind the drumkit is a volcano of creativity.

[@brothardale]

Christian Sands.....very talented young man 🎹 he has that Bill Evans light-touch and harmonic resonance.

[@davidtraverzo9047]

Trio? They sound like a full orchestra! What a delight!

[@alexgreen5064]

McBride has so much soul in in solo. He knows when to give space and when to fly off lyrically. Masterful player.

[@1.brownskin]

As a bassist I have many favorite bass players. I somehow totally get Christian's jazz movements; walking lines or solos (in a hugely different way than others). I feel them, and each note seems just right. Even when he plays those really fast movements when soloing it feels slowed down to my ears, and I hear each note (always feels wow), and I'm always blown away. I think he is my favorite jazz bassist of all my favorites.

[@hahabass]

Yeeeah! I'm with you.

[@fridgemagnet]

what a trio!!! Drummer has an incredible sense of dynamics and imagination.so creative.

Loved that bass solo.

[@1.brownskin]

...Oh and I had the pleasure of meeting Christian at the jazz museum in harlem when I visited NY in 2011. What a memorable and humbling experience. such a down to earth guy. I must visit the museum again. yeah I will next year.

[@dancartlidge5202]

If I had a nickel for every time I've come back to watch this trio....I could hire them! This is THE top shelf of jazz, no doubt...the symbiosis between all three artists is amazing...add to that a masterful, beautiful tune, and just....enjoy....

[@3340steve]

Great band.Thank you for posting this WONDERFUL MUSIC.

[@desFires]

One of the best Bass Solos I've ever heard. A transcription of this got me admitted to my favorite music college and now I got my degree

[@leehicks3172]

Can you please tell me where I can find a transcription for this song? I’d love to learn this on my double bass.. Or if you’re down to email a copy, I’d sure be grateful, if you still have it. Here’s my email: [e-mail]

@@leehicks3172 I lost it some years ago unfortunately :( Good luck.

[@saxore850]

mmm marvelous magic moment

[@luckysakonta3724]

Woooow!!! What a perfect way to start my day? I wish to see them life, you know just sit right in front of them and listen to a beautiful sound.

[@gugs103]

Jazz as it is supposed to sound like. I love chilled out jazz trio ensembles.

[@matthewdubovik7350]

Melumzi Nontangana WOW. What a narrow minded comment.

[@hahabass]

@Matthew Chang, Leave Melumzi be! Your ideas about what is 'narrow-minded' or otherwise might just suggest that you too are of the same ilk, i.e. we don't all hear the same stuff, or in the same way. Dig? So, why not just chill... and enjoy? Just saying.

[@Tugend8]

WOW!!! ... synergy of pure harmony. Love and peace ...

[@egyptianminor]

This Trio is something else, gotta buy their live CD

[@Shikatadayoto]

thank you !!

[@andreashoppe1969]

In my opinion these are some of the finest young jazz musicians alive today. Every single tune they're playing it sounds soo nice. Chris sands, amazing pianist, who has an incredibly beautiful sound, mcbride, who is also stunning on the bass, so much passion, and of course, the drummer, ulysses is superly creative. Amazing! :)

[@knkx]

Thanks for watching Andreas!

[@rufusbass]

Gorgeous..And a beautiful time feel/groove... It's hard to believe anyone clicked a thumbs down on this, but I guess you can't keep (2) everyone happy by playing something super tasteful, grooving and well conceived..... Nice one Mr McBride. GREAT trio.

[@mariocaruso2452]

Great jazz song... What incredible talent these three musicians have!

[@oswaldnyoka2748]

This trio is superb! Love the drummer.

[@rolandjuchtmans6739]

This is a breath of fresh air in Latin Inspired Jazz I love the voicings and chords. Ad Cristian waaw

[@oreodog]

These guys sound so peaceful

[@elaineliu339]

Fantastic!

[@1955drv]

Thank you Gentlemen, yes it been a joy!

[@juliesender1560]

Perfection!

[@stuartdryer1352]

I love Christian Sands' playing. He's got a little bit of Bill Evans in him, some Bobbie Timmons too. But still sounds like himself.

[@knkx]

Thanks for watching Stuart!

[@Musicfiend4ever]

Wow! Masterful performance of a relatively young jazz trio and that composition is absolutely gorgeous.

[@jboix1]

This is amazing!!! Thank you for so much beauty

[@Matt-Wolf]

That bass is so cool! :)

[@obudaifourty9]

Another MASTER PIECE.... just love it :)

[@abby4410]

Naturally good music create convivial mood !

[@TheRealMusic4Life]

amazing group!

[@PrashantSamlal]

Great trio !

[@MichaelBrehmer]

When listening to this piece without watching the video, I picture a 1950s small venue; dark, smokey, lots of small tables all jammed together, candles in small glass bowls flickering on each table; and this jazz trio playing this soft melody off in the corner. It is the way jazz should be. Listen to this piece from their Out There album and it is a totally different feel - just as good but very different.

[@martinroberts8469]

Fabulous !!!

[@jazzpianoonline]

awesome awesome tune, beautiful playing. love the yamaha u3.

[@rascalrollins3587]

WFT! What a badass solo! Beatifully melodic

[@alexandergallant6444]

Excellent

[@michaelbruceallen3700]

That smile at 6:10 is because he knows Sands is a baddass.

[@inezkarkabe2454]

Reminds me a bit of Hank Jones Pauletta, which I came across accidentaly after hearing this .. like two pretty sistersliving in the same house.. incredibly intimate and musical!

[@ThePercusman]

+Inez Karkabe The pianist studied with Hank Jones so it may have been inspired by him!

[@inezkarkabe2454]

wauw! so nice that he did!

[@eliasafediasdesouza]

nossa que lindo trabalho parabens

[@nobreroxo]

+Eliasafe Priscila Com pouquissima idade (25) Christian Sands ja esta entre os melhores pianista de Jazz do mundo !!!

His bass or not, Christian sounds like Christian.

[@christinearcane3344]

magnifique

[@CHUCHOMERCHAN]

fucking brilliant mcbride

[@michelesimms-burton208]

Isn't that Christian Sands on piano?

[@knkx]

It is! He just visited our studios too with his new trio! Check it out here:kzbin.info/www/bejne/foDdZJaugrqgm7s

[@TheBeatnik7]

Damn! This cats have chops.

[@ginguenga]

wowowowowow

[@mitchellwooldridge5118]

This entire set is simply incredible! :) One thing, though: next time, please get a better piano for Peter Martin --- that Yamaha upright sounds like it's seen better days.

[@damianodami7582]

What size Is this double bass?

[@apfelbaum6858]

does somebody know the changes?

[@joaopedroperosaruizferrari766]

I just can't stand this trio, in a good way. The knowledge, accuracy, swing, creativity, feeling and finesse of the three of them makes me mad... and i little bit sad i'll never reach them.

[@dancartlidge5202]

I'm a bassist, so obviously I'm tuned in on McBride....but I'm also a piano technician....so I notice the out of tune piano...and to me, in this sense, is....just....jazz. Christian Sands is masterful at controlling that Yami-upright...and Ulysses is at home....clearly...can't fake that perfection.

[@nealgal]

+Dan Cartlidge I am no musician but I, too, hear the piano - at first I thought it was just my old ears, hearing the slightly 'off' plunkiness. That Christian Sands is able to wrest so much beauty out of that thing is a marvel.

[@jeffreylombardo782]

Sounds like Steely Dan!!

[@FrancescoGuardi]

Piano is quite out of tune - but it doesn't matter if it's played by a master like this one

[@chun-weikang471]

also the cymbals the drummer ulysses is using aren't so good either but hes made them sound like 100k

[@martinroberts8469]

FrancescoGuardi - The piano has been tuned since this recording and sounds much better on more-recent recordings. Overall, it's about the best upright I've heard. Lovely tone !

Is there an ex girlfriend disliking videos, guys? If not, it's beyond me.....
