Tapers Notes:

Christian McBride is a certified virtuoso on the stand up bass, having played
with Freddie Hubbard, Joe Henderson, McCoy Tyner, Herbie Hancock, Pat Metheny,
Diana Krall, Roy Haynes, Chick Corea, John McLaughlin, Wynton Marsalis,
Hank Jones, Joshua Redman, Carly Simon, Sting, Bruce Hornsby, and James Brown.

Although generally considered a fusion bass player, he was invited to play
at New York's Vanguard Club, a fairly stodgy club, and was politely told
not to bring his "rock and roll band" with him.

This was the genesis of this group of back up musicians in 2009. The phrase
"Inside Straight" captures this band's aesthetics. It's both an "inside"
groove and "straight" ahead jazz.

This was the last set of of the last night of a four night run at Catalinas.
Only this set will be uploaded.--Regards, Scooter April, 2011
