It's such a pleasure to listen to Tom Power conduct an interview! And Christian McBride is T.H.E. Man -- what a bass player! ❤
Such a wonderful interview! My favourite part of every Tom Power interview is when the subject says, “Wow! You’re really good!” 😁 I was fortunate to have seen Mr. McBride’s incredible concert that evening. It will stay with me forever.
Wow. Love this interview. I know nothing of jazz or Mr. McBride but listened to this interview at breakfast and came here to see it in person. Lovely conversation. Thank you Tom.

Ditto... radio was great. YT greater!
I love jazz, but haven't listened for a while. I know that's like an oxymoron, but I've been busy with other things. I found this interview on my car radio... and didn't want it to end! In fact, I stayed in my car to hear it out. Thank you SO much. I'll be back in touch soon... with my music... thanks to this fun convo! 🤩
Great interview! Christian McBride is awesome. Thanks!
Great interview! Very entertaining!! Thank you!!
I would love to ask Christian McBride what he thinks of Mingus and his music and the connection to James Brown and his music. When I listen to “Better get it in your soul” I hear the predominant rhythm coming from the trombone, the saxes, and the piano - particularly underlying the solos. And I wonder if Brown was influenced in any way by Mingus. “Every instrument is a drum”
Sublime musician. Loved his work on Sting’s All This Time live album/ concert at Ill Pallagio, on 9/11 as it turned out.
😆 more detail than "Tales From The Tour Bus", good listen 👍🏻
well that's it, i've had bad experiences meeting with musical heroes taking a toll of disapointment hehe don't meet your heroes or you'll regret haha 😆
