Christian McBride: “Honesty and realising that music should be an emotional statement – that’s what lies at the basis of greatness”

This “New Jawn” emerging from Christian McBride’s music is the jawn of multiple voices, each speaking clear, all speaking in harmony, telling us how wonderful the world is, full of adventures and discoveries, and we are excited and filled with happiness. It’s all about dialogue and understanding: “The road is going to put this band in a position where we would be able to communicate with each other even more fluidly and with greater confidence and skill, therefore we will be able to communicate with the audience on a deeper emotional level.” – said Christian McBride on a Jazz FM interview that you can listen to using the Audio button.

Christian McBride’s New Jawn is at the A to JazZ festival in Sofia on the 9th of July.
