Christian McBride's New Jawn CD

Released November 16, 2018

Jawn [jän]: noun. Slang terminology from Philadelphia. All-purpose term for a person, place or thing.

If there’s one thing the acclaimed bassist knows, it’s that when it comes to grit, there’s no better resource to draw from than his own hometown, Philadelphia. So, McBride turned to one of the city’s most beloved colloquialisms to christen his latest project, Christian McBride’s New Jawn. On the band’s eponymous debut, these four stellar musicians ably walk the razor’s edge between thrilling virtuosity and gut-punch instinctiveness.
