Christian McBride's The Movement Revisited

A musical portrait of civil rights icons.
Eight-time Grammy Award-winning bassist, bandleader and host of NPR’s Jazz Night in America Christian McBride brings his monumental musical tribute inspired by the words of Rosa Parks, Malcolm X, Martin Luther King Jr., Muhammad Ali and President Barack Obama. “When the suite soars, it follows the bandleader’s strengths, […] known for his ebullient precision—his joy in the details—and for savoring the nectar inside swing rhythm” (DownBeat).
