One for the bass players. Here are three short extracts from a 25-minute interview I did with bass legend Christian McBride a few years back.
The big man discusses New York’s jazz scene in the late 80s and early 90s and the influence of the young lions movement
Lovely to receive these kind words from the University of Oxford about mine and guitar maestro Nick Costley-White’s duo recital there earlier this year:
‘…then recital was a huge success from our point of view, as you could tell, I hope, from the enthusiastic response of the audience.
‘…it was a privilege to hear you both play, and at such a standard of consummate excellence, but also to discover jazz sounds and compositions probably none of us had heard before…’
‘…I hadn’t fully realised your stature as a composer, to add to that as a sax player…what a special and rare joy it was, too, to hear a full recital on the soprano saxophone….’
Really exciting to be performing in this year’s Instrument of the Year Festival in Berlin, which celebrates the Saxophone!
