The meeting of great minds usually happens behind closed doors, but for two of the world’s foremost bassists — Christian McBride and Edgar Meyer — the collaboration proved so fruitful that a duo album, But Who’s Gonna Play the Melody?, exploring their collective backgrounds, was born.
Now they’re taking their show on the road for very select tour dates! The legendary bassists will meld McBride’s jazz and R&B fusion with Meyer’s bluegrass and classical sensibilities for what is sure to be an unforgettable performance of new compositions as well as timeless, American standards.
The bass is traditionally seen as the bedrock of an ensemble and no living bassists have done as much to bring the instrument from the background to the spotlight as Christian McBride and Edgar Meyer. Both belong to an elite cadre of musicians whose jaw-dropping virtuosity on their chosen instruments is matched only by the profound soul and emotion of their playing and the spectrum-wide range of their tastes.
Two bass legends, one spectacular night – don’t miss this special show!
