Christian McBride

“McBride’s quintet dubbed Inside Straight into one of the more melodically tuneful and harmonically focused contemporary ensembles combining past tradition with a fresh new approach to this potent style of jazz.... While Christian McBride has been involved with many amazing recordings during his brief but substantive career, this might be his best batch yet”.
- Michael G. Nastos (All Music Guide)
