GRAMMY® AWARD-WINNING
BASSIST-COMPOSER
CHRISTIAN MCBRIDE
TO LAUNCH NEW SHOW ON SIRIUS XM REAL
JAZZ CHANNEL APRIL 3
THE
LOWDOWN: CONVERSATIONS WITH CHRISTIAN
Real Jazz channel, SIRIUS channel 72 and XM channel 70, will launch a
new show hosted by Grammy® Award-winning bassist-composer and Mack
Avenue recording artist Christian
McBride. The
Lowdown: Conversations with Christian, which will premiere on
Saturday, April 3 at 1 pm ET as part of SIRIUS XM’s celebration of Jazz
Appreciation Month, will be recorded in front of a live audience at
various jazz clubs across the country and will feature onstage dialogues
and musical duets between McBride and his special guest artists. The
first episode, featuring legendary jazz pianist Chick Corea, was
recorded at Dizzy’s Club Coca-Cola.
About The Lowdown: Conversations
with Christian, McBride states: “I’m not only excited about being able to expose other facets of my personality, but
also exposing different facets of the many diverse guests who will
appear on the SIRIUS XM show. Imagine hearing Chick Corea talk about football and to
hear Angelique Kidjo imitating a New York cab driver. I mean, this show‘s special – if I must say so myself.”
Other guests will include Roy Hargrove, Lou Donaldson, Bill
Charlap and Angelique Kidjo. The concept for the program derived from a
digital downloads duets and conversations project that McBride released
on Mack Avenue (available on iTunes) called “Conversations With Christian.” The Lowdown: Conversations with Christian
will air every Saturday at 1 pm ET on SIRIUS XM’s Real Jazz.
