Event Details

Christian McBride & Bill Charlap Duo

When:

April 27, 3:00 PM - 5:00 PM

Overview

This concert creates a truly rare performance by bringing together two true jazz giants who have only performed together rarely in the past and never have toured.  Christian McBride has a solid reputation as one of the world’s most respected jazz basists and bandleaders, but that is only the beginning: he leads the Newport Jazz Festival, and co-leads Jazz House Kids with his wife Melissa Walker. Bill Charlap is one of the world’s foremost pianists, touring and recording with his trio of 27 years with bassist Peter Washington and drummer Kenny Washington, releasing award-winning albums on the Blue Note label and winning a 2016 Grammy Award with Tony Bennett.  This promises to be a truly memorable event, a very rare collaboration between two New Jersey residents who are worldwide jazz icons.
