Five-time Grammy®-winning jazz bassist Christian McBride has been one of the most important figures in jazz for 20 years. He has worked with Freddie Hubbard, Sonny Rollins, Herbie Hancock and Pat Metheny. He has also collaborated with such artists as the Roots, D’Angelo, Queen Latifah, Sting and Carly Simon. McBride spoke at former President Bill Clinton’s “Racism in the Performing Arts” town-hall meeting and was named co-director of the National Jazz Museum in Harlem and second creative chair for jazz at the Los Angeles Philharmonic. In 1998 he composed The Movement, Revisited, a four-movement suite dedicated to Rosa Parks, Malcolm X, Muhammad Ali and Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., which was commissioned by the Portland (ME) Arts Society and the National Endowment for the Arts.

“The deep, dark-maple tone that Christian McBride elicits from an upright bass is one of jazz’s

forthright pleasures.” — The New York Times

David Krakauer and Kathleen Tagg have been performing as a duo since 2012, in music ranging from classical composers, such as Brahms, Debussy and Janáček, all the way to contemporary trailblazers. Their latest project, Breath and Hammer, is an innovative reimagining of the traditional clarinet and piano recital that integrates folk and improvisation-based music with classical masterworks. Via their own lush and adventurous new arrangements, they are able to fully exploit Krakauer’s use of extended techniques, improvisation and circular breathing on the clarinet, and Tagg’s tremendous prowess inside the piano, using it as a harp, a zither, a drum and a cello. The repertoire of Breath and Hammer is made up of “simple songs” by composers as diverse as New York-based visionary John Zorn, Syrian clarinetist Kinan Azmeh and Serbian composer Aleksandra Vrebalov, as well as original compositions by Krakauer and Tagg, traditional South African music and klezmer.

“Adventurous … soul-stirring … brilliant.” — DownBeat magazine
