Christian McBride, bassist, double bassist, and composer has blazed an extraordinary trail as one of the most preeminent musicians of his time. Over the last three decades, the 11x GRAMMY® winner has made momentous advances as a dynamic musician and recording artist, a prolific composer-arranger-producer, a distinguished curator of culture, and a dedicated educator and mentor.
Guitarist and composer Julian Lage has long been prolific: In the three decades since the documentary Jules at Eight identified him as a prodigy, Lage has made a dozen records with his own bands and duos, and three times that many with leading lights of his artistic orbit, like John Zorn, Gary Burton, and Charles Lloyd.
