Christian McBride To Perform In Special Trio At Carnegie Hall
-
Artist:
To Commemorate the 50th anniversary of Sonny Rollin's debut at Carnegie Hall, Christian McBride and Roy Haynes will perform alongside him in a very special event.
The concert will take place September 18th and is presented by Sonny's Oleo Productions. “The great Roy Haynes,” says Rollins, “one of the top drummers in jazz history, has been my buddy and friend for many years – all the way back to the Hill [Sugar Hill, in Harlem]. I am so lucky to have him this night at Carnegie Hall.” Christian McBride was added to the mix after being recommended by Hayes, the two have toured with each other in the past.
“When a musician is highly praised by all of his fellows,” Rollins says, “it means something. I am looking forward to having this opportunity to play with Christian.” Christian McBride is a jazz bassist, and also the front of an acoustic/jazz/fusion/funk ensemble called The Christian McBride Band. He is widely considered to be one of the top bassists of his generation.
Tickets go on sale Monday, July 30, online at www.carnegiehall.org; by phone (CarnegieCharge) at 212-247-7800; or at the box office at 57th Street and 7th Avenue. The concert recording, to be released in spring 2008 by Doxy Records, will also include the 1957 trio material, a 20-minute tape recently made available to Rollins by the Library of Congress.
