But Who's Gonna Play The Melody? [CD]

Christian McBride is one of the most versatile musicians on the scene today.

His artistry has been documented in recordings and performances with a wide variety of musicians in the most diverse contexts and genres imaginable. His collaborations range from duets with esteemed classical bassist Edgar Meyer and avant-garde composer and violinist Laurie Anderson to performances with iconic artists like Sting and James Brown to ensembles with fellow Philadelphia native Ahmir "Questlove" Thompson of the hip-hop/neo-soul band The Roots, not to mention a host of jazz masters like Sonny Rollins and Freddie Hubbard, Pat Metheny and the late Chick Corea

Edgar Meyer has established himself as a unique and masterful instrumentalist, delighting audiences as both a vibrant performer and an innovative composer. The New Yorker called him "...the most remarkable virtuoso in the relatively unchronicled history of his instrument," and his unparalleled musicianship has propelled him to the forefront where he is appreciated by a large, diverse audience.
