Christian McBride Band March 23, 2006

Bassist, educator, composer, super sideman, and bandleader Christian McBride returns to Yoshi's with his own band featuring Geoffrey Keezer on piano, Ron Blake on saxophones and Terreon Gulley on drums. From Philadelphia, McBride has become one of the most acclaimed acoustic and electric bassists to emerge from the jazz world in the 1990s. His CDs on Verve as a leader, and the hundreds of albums he has performed on, showcase his funky style and big tone. His ever-expanding pop, R&B and fusion palette takes him around the world anchoring some of the best jazz groups today. He has performed with numerous artists including Joshua Redman, Sting, Chick Corea, The Roots, Diana Krall, D'Angelo, Betty Carter, McCoy Tyner, Roy Hargrove and Wynton Marsalis. He has established himself as a true master of the bass and a giant of jazz.
