Christian McBride's second studio album in 2013, Out Here, finds the adept bassist leading his trio through a jaunty, exuberant set of straight-ahead acoustic jazz. The album follows on the heels of his equally as appealing quintet album, People Music. However, where that album found McBride delving into the knotty post-bop sound of artists like '60s Bobby Hutcherson, Out Here is more of a classic standards album in the vein of works by Oscar Peterson and Duke Ellington. Joining McBride here is his working trio of pianist Christian Sands and drummer Ulysses Owens, Jr., who was also featured on People Music. Both Sands and Owens are superb, technically adroit musicians who complement McBride's warm, generous bass playing at every turn on Out Here. What's great about McBride leading his own trio is that because he is fundamentally such a monster of a bassist, he can and does take the lead on any given song just as well, if not better, than many of his non-rhythm section instrument-playing brethren. That said, he certainly lets his bandmates shine in the spotlight throughout much of the album. In fact, as on the trio's take on "My Favorite Things," both Sands and McBride take turns interpreting the melody. Elsewhere, they delve into bluesy, gospel-influenced numbers with "Ham Hocks and Cabbage" and "Hallelujah Time," and jump headlong into a swinging rendition of "Cherokee." There are also some gorgeous ballads featured on the album, with McBride's Latin-tinged "I Guess I'll Have to Forget" standing out among them. McBride even summons the spirit of his more funk and soul-influenced albums with the trio's giddy album-closing take on the R&B classic "Who's Making Love."

McBride born in Philadelphia 48 years ago and who despite his relative youth is a very prolific and active musician who currently leads five bands (among which is the trio that we present today). He is also a five-time Grammy Award winner, with 15 works edited as a leader and who has collaborated with most great musicians of his generation and before, such as Chick Corea, Benny Green, Roy Hargrove, Joe Henderson, Freddie Hubbard, Herbie Hancock, Joshua Redman, Pat Metheny and many more.

"Out Here" consists of nine songs, except for the initial of the album and the "I Guess I'll Have To Forget", the rest are arrangements of classical compositions by other well-known jazz musicians, where McBride gives an authentic master class how to play the double bass in a modern and contemporary way, recreating classic themes with great rhythm, finesse and elegance.

The trio is completed by two young and excellent musicians such as Christian Sands on piano, magnificent throughout the entire album with only 21 years old at the time and Ulysses Owens Jr. on drums, which provides a precise rhythmic base knowing how to alternate moments. of delicacy and forcefulness necessary. Both complement with great technique and skill, the warm and virtuous bass of McBride.

We can assure you that ‘Out Here’ is a very good album, with a refreshing mix of standards and traditional ballads but not without risk, which is worth remembering
