Great video. I remember seeing Christian playing with Freddie Hubbard in Boston when Christian was just 18. As Freddie introduced them, the crowd roared for Christian when Freddie told us he was just 18. "Just because he's young, doesn't mean he can play for shit!!", screamed Freddie over the crowd. Yeah, he could play. He blew us away.

i think the real thing that impresses me at a upright bass who's only been playing for 3 years is how fast and easily they shift on the bass they can just casually play in 4th/5th/6th position. I can play fast, sure, but shifting that far down so quickly and in time with the tempo is just amazing.

What a monster, great teacher, and super cool guy. And to the unknowing who do not understand the concept of modern jazz (Some comments below). With bebop, jazz language reached a point of maturity, where its syntax could now support the completion (if you will) of the jazz idiom, with all the developments that would follow, including contemporary (not to be confused with modern) expressions. This concept is not unique to jazz, and can be identified in a other art forms. More generally there seems to be a point in the evolution of various art forms, where no matter how much time has past, the work or specific technique no longer seems dated. To give a very rough and very specific example (emphasis on “very rough” in anticipation of nay sayers), there is a point in the history of painting (renaissance, Brunelleschi etc.) where geometric perspective emerges. That then becomes a mature fixture in the history of the art form, that will continue to inform future developments. And so it’s absence in prior works is part of what creates the sense of their being dated. (I am not claiming by the way that renaissance art is modern art). So now If you listen to Bud Powell or Bird -for example- you’ll hear plenty of lines, ideas, devices techniques etc, that would fit right into a performance by the likes of Chris Potter, Bergonzi, Kenny G (Garret), and on and on. This is why Bebop in a very important sense does not sound dated in quite the way that, for example, New Orleans jazz does. (Again for naysayers, I’m not making a value judgement) And there are endless examples of this on the internet. Listen to guitarists playing transcriptions of Bird. That guitarist can take those lines and bring them into any straight ahead jazz performance today and they still work, still sound hip, and always will. That’s why Bebop is and should be referred to as modern jazz. Joseph P Cannavo

I've always felt that walking is more difficult and impressive than soloing, especially at fast tempos. Soloing gives you little "breaks" to figure out what you're going to do. You can leave space, play long notes, throw in licks and techniques. With walking you *have* to fill the space, every quarter note. Your mind needs to be working the whole time and thinking 3-4 steps ahead so you end up in the right place when the chord changes. You need to know the chords inside and out. It's an incredible skill, and I'm always fascinated when players like Christian can do it so well and make it musical/interesting.

Many Thanks for this Gentlemen. What a high quality human that Christian McBride is, always knew he was but great to see/hear. Thanks too for the encouragement. Also heard (indirectly) recently you've been commenting on Jamulus (?) and maybe Jamkazam saying how good it is to play music live online. That's really helpful to the musician community as many I know are somewhat depressed right now but haven't got online to jam yet. Big Respect. Much obliged. 👌
