CHRISTIAN MCBRIDE AND THE INSIDE STRAIGHT - KIND OF BROWN
Kind Of Brown is the Mack Avenue debut for dynamic composer, bandleader and musician Christian McBride. Although hes has toured and recorded extensively with his jammy, electric Weather Report-like band, Christian felt the primordial urge to return to New Yorks hallowed jazz basement, the Village Vanguard. However, since the Vanguard doesnt allow any rock n roll music he assembled Warren Wolf, Carl Allen, Eric Reed and Steve Wilson to form Inside Straight. The quintet holed up in the famed Fantasy Studios (Berkeley, CA) to record Kind Of Brown, a release fueled by the imagination/spirit/sweat of all those whom had toiled at the fabled studio before them, a truly encyclopedic roster.
