 | | However, McBride was able to co-produce a yet-to-be-reissued CD of James Brown's jazz-tinged LP, "Soul on Top" (King Records, 1969), which was recorded with Louis Bellson's Big Band. | | | In 2000, McBride released his fourth and most successful CD since his debut "Gettin To It" was released in 1995. | | | While recording and touring with Redman the following year in his "Moodswing" band, McBride was signed to Verve Records in the summer of 1994, recording his first CD as a leader, "Gettin' To It" - one of the biggest selling jazz records of 1995. |

| | After an acoustic bass solo, McBride is rejoined by the rest of the band on the song's theme. | | | McBride, who is at home on both acoustic and electric bass, also doubles on keyboards. | | | One of the best tracks on the CD is "Science Fiction." Inspired by the film, The Matrix, the song sounds a lot like Return to Forever, with exceptional musicianship from everyone involved. |

| | Christian has strummed around on the electric bass guitar from the age of eight (his father and great-uncle play bass), finally taking up the acoustic bass at 11 years-old in order to play in his high school symphony orchestra. | | | Christian is quick to dispel the myth that he'd ever toured with Betty himself. | | | Since drummers vary in their use of 'beat placement' - a term used to describe the three ways of playing rhythm, which are 'on top', 'in the middle', or 'behind' the beat - this not a simple as it sounds, as Christian explains. |

| | Virtuoso bassist and bandleader Christian McBride, just 26, has an abiding love of funk and has been mixing more of it into his albums and shows. | | | McBride's "lead" fretless electric bass on Stevie Wonder's "Summer Soft" was technically flashy, but it wasn't Stevie. | | | It's not just the music that McBride loves but the show-biz style of the great soul acts: he takes the stage last, after a warm-up by his band, and he likes to entertain the crowd with James Brown dance steps. |

| | Jelly review: Christian McBride |
| | This album may not be the best forum for Christian McBride’s music, but it’s always fun to get a peek at a musician’s influences. | | | While it’s encouraging to see contemporary jazz musicians, such as McBride, who appreciate songs that don’t exactly come from their particular musical history, not everything here stands up well to such jazzy renditions. | | | One look at bassist Christian McBride’s latest release with, of all things, George Duke listed as its producer, and it might give any self-respecting traditional jazz fan a case of the frightened chills. |

| | Music - CD Review |
| | What the Christian McBride Band launches into for the rest of the album is a rocking take on the fusion jazz of the 1970s and '80s. | | | What the Christian McBride Band seems to be saying instead is: "A wide range of music grew up on what we play." That range — hip-hop, funk and techno — is articulated on this album with remarkable clarity. | | | But McBride and his band succeed in making it work because they're not interested in recreating this music — they want to take it to the next level. |

| | McBride who, after 70-plus straight-ahead albums as a sideman, has picked up an electric bass and focused his monster chops on a genre desperately in need of rehabilitation. | | | Halfway through the recording, Sci-Fi acquires a familiar quality, what with McBride's prominent, woofer-rattling bass on the title cut (echoes of Jaco Pastorious), the keening keyboards on "Havona" (reminiscent of Joe Zawinul), and Ron Blake's soprano saxophone lines on the same (Wayne Shorter?). | | | This Week: McBride walks the line between rock and jazz, drummer Bruford sends us dancing, and guitarist Towner goes it alone. |

| | Christian McBride |
| | McBride's third album for Verve reflects this sort of diversity, with allusions to Weather Report ("Wayne's World") as well as flat-out funk ("Brown Funk"), New Orleans second line ("I'm Coming Home") and a shuffle ("A Family Affair") for good measure. | | | The neoclassical purists will almost certainly voice their complaints, but the bottom line is that even the frequent smooth moments on this album are well-executed and highly musical. | | | At the same time, A Family Affair is a much more deliberately commercial album than McBride's previous efforts; with guest vocals by Will Downing and Vesta, and covers of Stevie Wonder's "Summer Soft" and Kool and the Gang's "Open Sesame," this album holds a lot of radio crossover potential. |

| | Guardian Unlimited Arts Friday Review Why is Christian McBride playing it safe? |
| | McBride salvages this particular nightmare with a bravura solo, but you can't help feeling that he's in session mode: rescuing a duff track rather than pursuing any singular vision. | | | The album ends with a version of Weather Report's Boogie Woogie Waltz, a generous reassertion of the importance of composer Joe Zawinul in the jazz pantheon. | | | So Vertical Visions, a pleasant, eclectic album, is a sign that McBride is moving on, with strong, fusion-inspired tunes such as Lejos de Usted and Precious One. |

The tune is a funky fusion romp with gritty slap and wah-wah pedal electric bass. | | | The title cut, a remake of Sly & The Family Stone's hit, is a hybrid of Stanley Turrentine's hard swinging soul jazz groove and the harmonic fluidity of Herbie Hancock's mid-'60s quintet. |

| | CD Review of Christian McBride - Vertical Vision on Warner Brothers @ jazzreview.com |
| | For several years now, bassist Christian McBride has been dead set on proving true the old axiom that not only does jazz have the ability to broaden the scope and depth of popular music, but that the latter can also rejuvenate and invigorate the former when it hits a rut. | | | With a little luck, McBride will continue to listen to his own desires more than those of the record executives at the major labels he frequents; however, hopefully one day that exploratory spirit will yield a more synthetic whole. | | | Particularly when he is worrying least about what purists will say, he ends up with the most compelling, forward-looking music. |
