Christian McBride live in New York

Experience Christian McBride live on July 25th

Christian McBride will be performing at Blue Note Jazz Club in New York City on July 25, 2026. McBride is a highly acclaimed bassist, composer, and bandleader whose musical style encompasses a broad range of jazz idioms. While deeply rooted in post-bop and hard bop traditions, his work frequently integrates elements of funk, soul, R&B, and classical music. He’s known for his virtuosic technique, melodic improvisation, and ability to seamlessly navigate diverse musical contexts – having collaborated with artists across genres including Sting, Paul McCartney, and Herbie Hancock. McBride has received multiple Grammy Awards throughout his career.

Blue Note Jazz Club first opened in 1981, though it carries the legacy of the original Blue Note Records founded in 1939. The club quickly became a prominent venue for both established jazz musicians and emerging talent. Situated in Greenwich Village, it's renowned for its intimate atmosphere and excellent acoustics. Throughout its history, Blue Note has hosted performances by numerous jazz legends like Dizzy Gillespie, Sarah Vaughan, and Miles Davis (though not at the current location). The club is also known for broadcasting live performances and releasing concert recordings.
