Episode 93: Christian McBride Part 2.

He's back! Nine-time GRAMMY winner Christian McBride returns for Part 2 of our conversation. In this episode we pick up where he becomes a bandleader and makes his first album. From there we cover his journey through leadership, creativity, and legacy.

We talk about his work with Chick Corea, his solo albums, and the moments that earned him nine GRAMMY Awards. Christian shares stories about the drummer greats he has played with including Jack DeJohnette, Tony Williams, Vinnie Colaiuta, and Brian Blade, as well as his collaboration and relationship with James Brown.

It is a two-hour conversation full of stories, laughter, and insight from one of the most influential figures in jazz. Christian is an amazing storyteller and we had a blast recording this one. We hope you enjoy it as much as we did. Here's Part 2 of my interview with the legend, Christian McBride!
