Podcast appearances and mentions of christian mcbride

This week on the New Music Business podcast, Ari sits down with Nicole Zuraitis, a GRAMMY-winning, New York–based jazz singer, songwriter, pianist, and arranger. Her 2023 album How Love Begins—co-produced with Christian McBride—won Best Jazz Vocal Album at the 66th GRAMMY Awards (2024). She's performed widely from Birdland and Dizzy's Club to symphony halls, and first earned GRAMMY attention in 2019 for her arrangement of Dolly Parton's “Jolene” with the Dan Pugach Nonet. Recent projects include the concert release Live at Vic's and international touring, with additional 2025 GRAMMY nominations connected to her work with husband, Dan Pugach. In this episode, Nicole traces her path from early days hustling in New York's scene to recording a live album, collaborating with Christian McBride, touring in China with Jazz at Lincoln Center partners, and navigating the realities of indie artistry. She digs into the power of networking, the pandemic's impact on jazz rooms, why physical formats still matter, and how grants and private donors help fund albums—before previewing what's next on her creative slate. https://www.nicolezmusic.com/4:53 - Introduction and Nicole's new live album9:23 - The decision to record live at VIXX15:53 - Collaborating with Christian McBride22:38 - Touring in China and working with Jazz at Lincoln Center29:08 - The Grammy experience and independent artist challenges36:33 - The role of networking in New York's music scene44:13 - The impact of the pandemic on jazz clubs51:43 - The importance of physical music products in the digital age59:23 - Funding albums through grants and private donors1:05:53 - Nicole's upcoming projects and future plansEdited and mixed by Peter SchruppMusic by Brassroots DistrictProduced by the team at Ari's TakeOrder the THIRD EDITION of How to Make It in the New Music Business: https://book.aristake.com Hosted on Acast.

Christian McBride is a nine-time Grammy-winning bassist and composer who's known for his prolific career across jazz and other genres. His new big band album, “Without Further Ado, Vol 1.,” nearly reunited the beloved U.K. rock band The Police. Christian joins Tom Power to share that story and more, including his time going to high school with The Roots and playing with Miles Davis as a teenager. Plus, ahead of an appearance at the Oscar Peterson centenary celebration in Toronto, Christian talks a little bit about why the Canadian pianist was so important to him.Fill out our listener survey here. We appreciate your input!

Episode 91: Christian McBride. Nine-time GRAMMY winner Christian McBride is one of the most influential jazz artists in the game. His collaborations span icons like Chick Corea, Herbie Hancock, Pat Metheny, James Brown, and Sting. He's the leader of multiple acclaimed bands including the Christian McBride Big Band, Inside Straight, and New Jawn. He also serves as the host of NPR's Jazz Night in America and was the Artistic Director of the Newport Jazz Festival for a decade. His story is incredible, and we're setting the stage here with Part 1, The Early Years. Growing up in Philadelphia, Christian was surrounded by greatness. His high school classmates included Questlove, Black Thought, Joey DeFrancesco, and Kurt Rosenwinkel, just to name a few. In this episode, we talk about those formative years, the Philly music scene, and how he broke into the spotlight with Wynton Marsalis and Freddie Hubbard, along with the wild story of his rare opportunity to play for Miles Davis. We also get into his professional mentality, early lessons on leadership, and what it took to earn respect from legends while still a teenager. Christian is an amazing storyteller, and this conversation is full of history, heart, and laughs. We had the best time recording this one, so I hope you enjoy it as much as we did. Lets go!

Beacon brothers cut their first album The wait is over. Zohar Cabo graduated from high school in June, and now he and his older brother, Adam, are embarking on a music career, with help from influential friends. Under the no-nonsense moniker Zohar & Adam, they recorded their first album, Osmosis, at The Loft Recording Studios in Bronxville, owned by Philipstown resident Al Hemberger, who has worked with Rihanna, Britney Spears and Kelly Clarkson. "He gave us the keys to the place and a room to figure it out," says Adam, 21. "We learned how to engineer, produce and mix. Two-and-a-half years later, it's ready." Another advisor is bass player Christian McBride, who appears on the album and met the brothers at his Jazz House Kids educational ensembles in Montclair, New Jersey, and Trinity Church in Manhattan. As they hang around Beacon and take on a long-term view, the duo's management team (which discovered Rihanna) and record label (Mack Avenue Music Group) are strategizing the act's trajectory. Osmosis is scheduled for release in March, and a tour is likely to follow. For now, they're hosting an improvised Everything Jam at Beacon's Savage Wonder twice a month, beginning Sunday (Oct. 19). The disc's title is apt because the brothers have played together since grade school. Marketing copy describes their interplay as "telepathic synchronicity." Improvisation and free-form exploration fuel their genre-busting, unbound sound, which is rooted in jazz but meanders. On keyboards, Zohar, 18, drives the bus as Adam lays down the percolating percussion. "A lot of people are skeptical that we can be sonically interesting with two instruments, but so far, so good," says Adam. "If anything, we call it 'post-jazz.' " Zohar plays bass parts with his left hand and coaxes ethereal sounds from his electronic keyboard. Sometimes he twiddles the dials more than he presses the keys. There is some singing on the new album, but their bread and butter consists of experimental instrumental compositions that stretch boundaries while remaining accessible. One signature approach is to accentuate the ebb and flow between spacey interludes and parts with a solid groove where Adam hits hard. Segues are seamless as they shift the dynamics and tempos - often several times per tune. "The fat part means so much more when we do that tension and release," says Adam. In the video of "Drones in the Sky/Dying Hands," an audition tape for National Public Radio's Tiny Desk series filmed at the Howland Cultural Center in Beacon, "we keep pulling back and letting go; it's not completely settled, yet it keeps people listening because they have no idea what's going to happen next." After being offered a scholarship to study acting at SUNY Purchase, Adam decided to take the drumming tack, which follows the family pattern: Father Richard led a Latin jazz band, mother Dassi Rosenkrantz plays bass (and will perform Oct. 11 at Beacon Flow) and sister Noga, 23, is a singer-songwriter. Growing up, the siblings played covers and originals all over town and recorded with Hemberger. While waiting for their future, Zohar & Adam can pop up on the streets of Beacon anytime and anywhere, including a recent impromptu jam behind the Mobil gas station on Main Street. The Everything Jam traces to last summer, when the brothers winged it for hours busking in the former open space at the corner of Main and Cross streets. "Everyone from babies to elderly people would turn their heads," says Adam. "Not to be too ambitious, but we're trying to foster a newfound appreciation for instrumental music." They hosted the free-form jam at Lyonshare and, one night, 85 people showed up. "Despite all the crazy changes in our songs, part of our approach is to provide an entry point to make improvisational instrumental music that anyone can enjoy and create a sound that is universally understood," he says. Savage Wonder is located at 139 Main St. in Beacon. For more on Zohar & Adam, including digital d...

Певица, актриса, писательница, учитель, активистка и предпринимательница Ledisi добавила ещё один бриллиант в свою корону, выпустив альбом For Dinah. Это глубоко личное посвящение от обладательницы премии GRAMMY её кумиру всей жизни, легендарной, но слишком часто упускаемой из виду Dinah Washington. Продюсером альбома выступил джазовый тяжеловес Christian McBride, который помогает таким музыкантам, как она, процветать и быть в центре внимания. Этот страстный проект передает гламур и чувства, которые определялись наследием Дины и пропущены через уникальный голос Ледиси. Альбом включает в себя выдающиеся совместные работы, включая дуэты с известными вокалистами Gregory Porter и Paul Jackson Jr., а также с восходящей звездой Michael King. Альбом Для Дины - это не просто музыкальное приветствие, это благодарственное письмо от одной влиятельной темнокожей женщины другой - дань уважения артистке, которая проложила путь, по которому Ледиси прошла всю свою жизнь.Слушать альбом - значит слышать не только отголоски Дины Вашингтона, но и преемственность традиции: чернокожие артистки настаивают на своем законном месте в центре американской культуры. Вашингтон пела в эпоху, когда такая настойчивость сама по себе была радикальной. Ледиси поёт сегодня, в момент, когда борьба принимает новые формы, но остаётся незавершённой.В результате возникает портрет двух женщин, связанных во времени: одна, которая сломала барьеры в эпоху сегрегации, другая, которая продолжает борьбу за равенство в эпоху представительства и институциональных реформ. Для Дины это не просто сборник песен, а размышление о том, что значит нести наследие вперёд, не как подражание, а как трансформацию.В этом смысле дань уважения Ледиси - это также заявление о её собственном месте в родословной. Подобно тому, как Дина Вашингтон когда-то расширила определения джаза и блюза, Ледиси расширяет понятие артиста в XXI веке: не только голос, но и учитель, лидер, писатель и строитель будущего. В конечном счёте, альбом - это произведение памяти, обновления и почтения, мост между поколениями, несущий голос, который настаивает на ясности, щедрости и изяществе.Результат - не ностальгия, а обновление, напоминание о том, что прошлое живо полнее, когда переосмыслено в настоящем.СЛУШАТЬ АЛЬБОМ - https://album.link/i/1821304064Лучший трек альбома в плей-листе JAZZ по-русски 9 на AppleMusic и SpotifyПоставь лайк ❤️ и подпишись на канал JAZZ по-русски https://t.me/discor

Басист, композитор, аранжировщик, продюсер и руководитель Christian McBride вновь собирает свой удостоенный премии GRAMMY биг-бэнд для продолжения альбома 2020 года For Jimmy, Wes & Oliver, который есть на моем канале в числе других его работ (все указаны ниже). Новый альбом Without Further Ado, Vol. 1 - Без дальнейших церемоний включает в себя незабываемые аранжировки джазовых стандартов с участием приглашенных вокалистов, которых может собрать только Кристиан: Sting, Andy Summers (гитарист The Police & The Animals), Jeffrey Osborne, Samara Joy, José James, Cécile McLorin Salvant, Dianne Reeves и Antoinette Henry. А так же, одна инструментальная композиция лидера, с очень интересным названием Op. 49 - Cold Chicken Suite, 3rd Movement. В итоге получился не очень длинный (37 минут), но по своему очень разнообразный альбом, с яркими голосами и свежими аранжировками.СЛУШАТЬ АЛЬБОМ - https://album.link/i/1818889585Tippin' - https://t.me/discor/7311BigBand - https://t.me/discor/5751Prime - https://t.me/discor/6710RoundAgain - https://t.me/discor/5651Partners in Time - https://t.me/discor/4322Solidarity - https://t.me/discor/5136Bluesthetic - https://t.me/discor/6418Trilogy 2 - https://t.me/discor/5043Лучший трек альбома в плей-листе JAZZ по-русски 9 на AppleMusic и SpotifyПоставь лайк ❤️ и подпишись на канал JAZZ по-русски https://t.me/discor#bigband #vocaljazz

This performance used with permission from Tommy Lehman. None of the three members of this week's trio really need much of an introduction. Tommy Lehman is a Northeast Ohio native and a Hartt School of Music graduate who performs regularly across the country both as leaders of his own projects and as a member of Alla Boara and Nathan-Paul and the Admirables. Akron based guitarist Dan Wilson's career took him on an exploratory journey into foundations laid down by the guitar/organ tradition, eventually leading to an invitation to perform with jazz great Joey DeFrancesco's quartet, with which Wilson went on to earn a GRAMMY® Award nomination in 2017. Additional work with Christian McBride's Tip City trio served as a gateway to Wilson signing with and releasing two albums on the Brother Mister record label, the most recent of which is Things Eternal. Bassist Paul Thompson is a 30 year veteran of the Pittsburgh jazz scene and, in addition to his work as an educator he has toured the world wit the likes of Maynard Ferguson and Stanley Turrentine. His bass drives Pittsburgh jazz. All of this is to say, you're in for a fantastic show.

Send us a textHello, passionate cruisers! This is Paul and this week on The Joy of Cruising Podcast, I am proud to host Christian McBride, multi Grammy-winning jazz superstar bass player! We talk about performing at sea, and hear about Christian's inaugural charter cruise, Christian McBride's World at Sea, January 20-27, 2026. The cruise will be on Celebrity Summit from Ft. Lauderdale, stopping at Jamaica and Grand Cayman.Christian McBride is creating a new kind of experience for jazz fans while breaking new ground for artists as he takes on a "captain" and completely immersive role on his upcoming cruise, Christian McBride's World at Sea (produced by Signature Cruise Experiences whom we hosted on the podcast when they were called, Jazz Cruises, Ep 113). Music cruises have gained in popularity in recent years and give fans an incredible opportunity to personally engage with their favorite artists (running into them all week long on the ship...at the buffet, the pool, during shore excursions together, seeing concerts in smaller venues than they would on tour) but Christian is in a unique position where he's not simply one of the acts booked onto a festival at sea. Instead, he curated the cruise, building a completely personal environment and atmosphere to share with jazz fans by inviting his friends and peers like Samara Joy, Angelique Kidjo, Ledisi, Jose James, Cecile McLorin Salvant and 40 more musicians to join them. Plus, he's a prolific musician, in several bands at any given moment so it's no surprise that his time on the cruise will be no different than on land: He is bringing three of his bands onboard and will perform with each of them separately.Christian has performed on over 400 recordings, leads six different bands, has been the Creative Chair for Jazz at the Los Angeles Philharmonic, is the artistic director for the world-renowned Newport Jazz Festival, curates the James Moody Jazz Festival and he hosts the popular NPR show "Jazz Night in America." Christian McBride's World at Sea: https://mcbridesworldatsea.com/Do you have a dream car?Keep Travelling – Your African VacationInsightful interviews with Africa's tourism professionals - Great giveaways from 5* guestsListen on: Apple Podcasts SpotifySupport the showSupport thejoyofcruisingpodcast https://www.buzzsprout.com/2113608/supporters/newSupport Me https://www.buymeacoffee.com/drpaulthContact Me https://www.thejoyofcruising.net/contact-me.htmlBook Cruises http://www.thejoyofvacation.com/US Orders (coupon code joyofcruisingpodcast)The Joy of Cruising https://bit.ly/TheJoyOfCruisingCruising Interrupted https://bit.ly/CruisingInterruptedThe Joy of Cruising Again https://bit.ly/TheJoyOfCruisingAgainIntl Orders via Amazon

The Trombone Corner Podcast is brought to you by Bob Reeves Brass and The Brass Ark. Come watch the Los Angeles Brass Alliance (LAB-A) at 7PM on May 4th at Glendale First baptist Church for their second installation of Next Up! This free concert (generously sponsored by Bob Reeves Brass) spotlights LAB-A's annual collaboration between emerging LA-based composers and brass musicians.  Learn more at: www.labrassalliance.org. Join hosts Noah and John as they interview Michael Dease, commercial trombonist from Los Angeles. About Michael: Michael Dease is one of the world's eminent trombonists, lending his versatile sound and signature improvisations to over 200 recordings and groups as diverse as Grammy winning artists David Sanborn, Christian McBride, Michel Camilo, and Alicia Keys. Born in Augusta, GA, he played the saxophone and trumpet before choosing the trombone at age 17. In 2001, Dease moved to New York City to become part of the historic first class of jazz students at The Juilliard School, earning both Bachelors and Masters degrees, and quickly established a reputation as a brilliant soloist, sideperson, and bandleader.   Best Next Thing (Posi-Tone, 2022), Dease's newest release, his ninth on Posi-Tone, gathers together an assemblage of exceptional musicians to help him interactively explore the essence of the blues and reframe the abstract truths of jazz as the "Best Next Thing "for today's audience of listeners. Dease, the winner of the 69th Annual DownBeat Magazine Poll for Trombonist of the Year and multi-Grammy award winner, is also a sought-after lead, section and bass trombonist with today's leading jazz orchestras. His experiences include bands led by Christian McBride, Roy Hargrove, Nicholas Payton, Charles Tolliver, Rufus Reid, Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra and the Dizzy Gillespie All-Star Big Band. However, it is on the frontline of quintets and sextets led by master musicians like The Heath Brothers, Winard Harper, Renee Rosnes, Bill Charlap, Claudio Roditi, and Lewis Nash, where Dease has revitalized the trombone's image. Not content to simply improvise, Dease arranges and composes for many different bands, constantly adjusting his tone and timbre to add just the right flavor to the music. Dease's unique blend of curiosity, hard work and optimism has helped him earn worldwide recognition, including awards from ASCAP, The International Trombone Association, Yamaha, Eastern Trombone Workshop, New York Youth Symphony, Hot House Magazine, Michigan State University, among others. Dease was profiled in Cicily Janus' book, The New Face of Jazz: An Intimate Look at Today's Living Legends (Random House). His experience in the studio has led him to produce several recording sessions for emerging artists, often composing and writing liner notes for the releases. Dease's singular talent has made him an effective and prolific teacher, resulting in invitations, master classes and residencies at University of North Texas, Scranton University, University of Iowa, Florida State College, Broward College, and many institutions abroad. He serves as Professor of Jazz Trombone at the renowned Michigan State University jazz program and has also been on faculty at Queens College - CUNY, The New School and North-eastern University. Many of Dease's current and former students are enjoying successful careers in the music world. Always an informed, but forward-thinking musician, Dease learned the craft from trombone legends Wycliffe Gordon and Joseph Alessi. His associations have run the entire spectrum of musical experience: Alicia Keys, Paul Simon, Paul Schaffer and the CBS Orchestra, Elton John, Neal Diamond, Illinois Jacquet, Slide Hampton & The World of Trombones, Fred Wesley, Maceo Parker, WDR Big Band, George Gruntz, Billy Harper, and numerous others. Dease enjoys spending every possible minute with his extraordinary wife and Professor of Percussion at MSU, Gwendolyn Dease, and their daughters Brooklyn & Charley. Michael Dease is a Yamaha Performing Artist and uses Pickett Brass and Vandoren mouthpieces exclusively. View Michael's All Music Guide entry here for a partial listing of his sideperson credits and discography.

The venerable bastards have made it to their twelfth anniversary, so time to dress us in silk and pearls (if you weren't already in your fantasies).  While you attempt to scrub that hideous image from your minds, we'll mention that today's episode looks back to 2013, the origin year of the podcast, covering five releases from that epochal year we missed.  Can you guess who appears for the first time on the 'cast and exactly which ways he's oriented?  Dave Holland – PRISM; Robbie Williams – SWINGS BOTH WAYS; Alex Cline – FOR PEOPLE IN SORROW; Christine McBride – PEOPLE MUSIC; Rene Marie – I WANNA BE EVIL.

This episode of The Other Side of the Bell, featuring trumpeter, band leader and iconic plunger mute designer Kenny Rampton, is brought to you by Bob Reeves Brass. This episode also appears as a video episode on our YouTube channel, you can find it here: "Kenny Rampton trumpet interview"   About Kenny Rampton:   Trumpeter Kenny Rampton grew up in Las Vegas, and studied music at both the University of Nevada at Las Vegas and the Berklee College of Music. In 1989, he moved to New York, where he quickly established his reputation as a versatile musician, touring and performing with a veritable who's who in jazz.   Kenny's first road gig was a world tour with The Ray Charles Orchestra. He subsequently went on the road with legendary jazz drummer Panama Francis and The Savoy Sultans, and soon thereafter, with The Jimmy McGriff Quartet.   As a sideman, Kenny has also performed with jazz greats Jon Hendricks, Chico OFarrill's Afro-Cuban Jazz Big Band, Lionel Hampton, Charlie Persip and Supersound, Illinois Jacquet, Dr. John, Edy Martinez, Dr. Lonnie Smith, Reuben Wilson, Charles Earland, Tony Monaco, Clark Terry, Slide Hampton, Marcus Roberts, Christian McBride, Geoff Keezer, Richard Bona and a host of others.    Kenny Rampton joined the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra with Wynton Marsalis as a full time member in 2010. He also leads his own groups in addition to performing with the Mingus Big Band, The Mingus Orchestra, The Mingus Dynasty, George Gruntz' Concert Jazz Band, and The Manhattan Jazz Orchestra.   Kenny is also well known as being the trumpet voice on the legendary Sesame Street. Some of his Broadway credits include "Anything Goes" (lead/solo trumpet), "Finian's Rainbow," "The Wiz," "Chicago: The Musical," "In The Heights," "Hair," "Young Frankenstein," and "The Producers," "The Drowsy Chaperone," "Spamalot," "Martin Short: Fame Becomes Me," "The Wedding Singer," "Hot Feet" and several other shows on Broadway.   Finally, in 2020 Kenny started collaborating with Hirschman Mutes to design the innovative KR Indigo plunger mute, which has been a hit ever since its release.   In our conversation today, Kenny shares how he got his start growing up in Las Vegas in a family of entertainers. Studying trumpet at the time largely meant classical trumpet, but Kenny soon developed a deep love for jazz. This took him across the country to Berklee, and the rest is history.   Kenny tells us what it was like getting a sudden call from Ray Charles to join his orchestra, being on-screen on Sesame Street, and working closely with Wynton Marsalis at the Lincoln Center.   And, we learn the story of how he developed the famous KR Indigo plunger mute, in the midst of the pandemic, as not just a useful tool for musicians but a way to stay engaged with the community during that tough time.   Kenny Rampton is brimming with inspiration and heart, and it was a pleasure to have him on the podcast today.   Podcast listeners!
