Enjoy this six-time Grammy Award–winning musician and US bass master’s hot new quartet, in New Zealand for the first time
In an absolute treat for New Zealand audiences, enjoy up close the swinging, “sturdy grooves” (The New York Times) of this six-time Grammy Award–winning jazz bassist and his hot new quartet.
Bass player, bandleader and artistic director of the influential Newport Jazz Festival, Christian McBride is the absolute business. From teenage prodigy to respected jazz legend, his “polished yet righteously bluesy bop” (Timeout New York) has delighted audiences at the world’s hottest jazz spots for nearly three decades.
Catch this unmissable opportunity to hear this masterful collaborator – he’s played with Chick Corea, Herbie Hancock, James Brown, Sting, Carly Simon and the list goes on – in an intimate performance. A night of pure jazz from the best.
“Exceptional”
