Christian McBride

American bass player Christian McBride performs at Konserthuset Stockholm for the first time ever. He began his career in classical music and studied at The Juilliard School in New York, but shifted his attention to jazz in the 1990s. Since then he has won Grammy awards and positioned himself as one of the absolute foremost jazz bass players of our time. 

McBride is joined for his performance at Konserthuset by his latest band – a quintet consisting of outstanding young musicians: saxophone player Nicole Glover, guitarist Ely Perlman, pianist Mike King and Savannah Harris on drums. Together, they are Christian McBride New Quintet.  

Christian McBride’s versatility is particularly evident through his work with musicians of different styles and genres, including Sonny Rollins, Herbie Hancock, Pat Metheny, Chaka Khan, Natalie Cole, James Brown, Sting, Paul McCartney, Carly Simon and Kathleen Battle.
