Christian McBride

SACD MULTICHANNEL HYBRID DISC

Chesky Records is pleased to announce the release of New York Time, a new quartet recording featuring bassist Christian McBride, tenor saxophonist Javon Jackson, drummer Jimmy Cobb and pianist Cedar Walton.

New York Time offers jazz fans a wonderful opportunity to hear two rising stars of the genre (McBride, Jackson) performing with two respected elders (Cobb, Walton). The past also meets the present in other exciting ways on this recording. The set is highlighted by several of Walton's original compositions and a cover of the legendary John Coltrane's "Naima." Meanwhile, McBride's acoustic bass talents are spotlighted on his self-written composition "Grove" (for trumpeter Roy Hargrove) and Jackson represents the new vanguard of jazz with his own tune titled "Notes in Three."
