Christian McBride-Gettin' To It (jazz acoustic double bass) EAC F...

Quote:Just after seven years of increased experience as a session bassist and several
years achieving his music education in jazz after starting out as a session bassist on
the New York jazz circuit, Christian McBride became an overnight sensation in 1995
when he released his highly publicized debut album that made him a bold new force.
Showcasing his striking virtuosity and creative solos on his acoustic bass, the young
jazz titan took the world of jazz by storm with Gettin' To It, the blockbuster debut CD,
which won critical praise, great respect from fellow jazz musicians, and chart-topping
success on the jazz charts throughout the year. 
Highlighted by it's stunning track set, 
starting off with dashing opening track In A Hurry, the album feature an array of solid
original compositions like Shade Of The Cedar Tree, Sittin' On A Cloud, Black Moon,
King Freddie Of Hubbard (an homage to Freddie Hubbard) and the funk oriented title
track, as well as a few enduring takes on standards including Too Close For Comfort,
Count Basie's Splanky--where he jams it out with Ray Brown--and even the haunting
bass final on Night Train. Hailed by Time Magazine as "The Best And Most Versatile
Jazz Bassist Since Charles Mingus",
 Gettin' To It serves up an epitomized mixture of
swinging post-bop, relaxing acoustic tracks and uplifting merit as this session feature
a brilliant band line-up consisting of Roy Hargrove, Joshua Redman, Steve Turre and
Cyrus Chestnut, which make this first-time masterpiece a true beginning of the a long
and celebrated music career of this magnificent jazz giant and to what we will expect
to hear from him.
The recording and sound quality are also phenomenal...if your speakers are flat to 25Hz, you will KNOW it with this disk.
