Since he first caused a buzz on the Philadelphia jazz scene at age 14 — and drew the notice of his mentor, legendary jazzman Wynton Marsalis — McBride has been thrilling and surprising audiences with his musical expressiveness on both acoustic and electric bass and with his wide-ranging talents as a composer, arranger, and bandleader. Still in his early 30s, McBride has already become one of jazz's most sought-after bassists, and has been recognized by Time as "the most promising and versatile bassist since Charles Mingus." An intrepid musical explorer, McBride has toured and recorded with a long roster of musical greats ranging from Herbie Hancock to Kathleen Battle to Sting and already boasts an impressive catalog of six critically acclaimed albums, including the Christian McBride Band's popular 2003 recording, Vertical Vision.
