From jazz to R&B, and pop/rock and hip-hop/neo-soul to classical, nine-time GRAMMY-winning bassist, composer, and bandleader Christian McBride is a luminary with one hand ever reaching for new heights. In all of his playing, drummer/composer Marcus Gilmore integrates a unique style where he is musically expanding rhythm, while supporting the diverse array of the finest musicians in the world with whom he plays.
Lizz Wright
