A 7-time GRAMMY® Award-winning bassist/composer, Christian McBride’s music career took off shortly after moving to New York in 1989 to pursue classical studies at the Juilliard School. In 2000, the lessons of the road came together in the formation of what would become his longest-running project, the Christian McBride Band, which has consistently evolved with McBride’s all-inclusive, forward-thinking outlook on music.
Completing the circle is his work with Jazz House Kids, the nationally recognized community arts organization founded by his wife, vocalist Melissa Walker. Exclusively dedicated to educating children through jazz, the “Jazz House” concept brings internationally renowned jazz performers to teach alongside a professional staff.
