Christian McBride & Inside Straight - Live At The Village Vanguard

180-gram double LP

December 2014 live set recorded at the Village Vanguard

While attending a show at the Village Vanguard in 2006, it occurred to Christian McBride that he hadn't played there in nearly nine years, as he'd been touring the world over. In June of 2007, Christian returned to the Village Vanguard with a group consisting of Steve Wilson, Eric Reed, Carl Allen and a young vibraphonist whom he'd recently met, Warren Wolf. Due to prior commitments, Eric Reed could no longer be in the group, but pianist Peter Martin joined the group immediately upon the release of Christian McBride & Inside Straight's first Mack Avenue recording, Kind Of Brown, and Peter's been in the piano chair ever since.

The Village Vanguard has been Christian McBride & Inside Straight's home for one to two weeks every December. Although many iterations of his groups have played there, Inside Straight was birthed at the Village Vanguard. This particular set was recorded in December of 2014, titled Live At The Village Vanguard.
