Christopher McBride - The Hang, The Hustle, The Path (2025) [Hi-Res]

Saxophonist Christopher McBride is releasing his third studio album, "The Hang, The Hustle, The Path," on October 3. This work is the first installment of a planned autobiographical trilogy, in which the musician tells his life story through music. The album is a vibrant blend of genres, including jazz (bebop), gospel, R&B, Latin music, and hip-hop. Each composition reflects important moments, people, and places in McBride's life, from the energetic track "CHI to NY," inspired by his move, to the touching ballad "A Downpour of Beauty," and the profound piece "Seven (The Human Cost)," dedicated to the history of slavery. The album was recorded with his band, The Whole Proof, and a four-city U.S. tour is planned in support of it.
