Christian McBride Trio - Out Here (2013) With Out Here, premier bassist Christian McBride’s fifth recording on Mack Avenue Records, McBride introduces his latest working group: a trio, fully embracing at age 41 his role as standard-bearer and mentor. Pianist Christian Sands and drummer Ulysses Owens, Jr.—both younger, emerging artists—have been performing with McBride’s smallest group for about three years, honing their trio conception to a fine point of expressive depth and nuance with select performances around the world. “It’s a pretty diversified trio,” says McBride descriptively. “The real core foundation is hardcore swingin,’ blues and the American songbook. Part of that is because Christian Sands is so well-rounded and willing to go to so many places, that I can’t help but want to swing hard with him and Ulysses.” http://www.christianmcbride.com/ Modern take on the Johnny Taylor classic with some Gap Band thrown in at the end... ...Who's Making Love Music for adventurous listeners tA  Tribal Records"Ya see, we're not interested in what you know...but what you are willing to learn.

I don't hear many remakes of JT songs, and especially not from a non-Southern soul or blues performer (or his son Floyd You can take a black guy to Nashville from right out of the cotton fields with bib overalls, and they will call him R&B. You can take a white guy in a pin-stripe suit who’s never seen a cotton field, and they will call him country. ~ O. B. McClinton | |
