Christian McBride & Inside Straight Tickets

Loved the show with such talent. A little shorter than anticipated. Would not have bought the seats had we known we would not be able to see the stage.

Fantastic show with Christian McBride. The venue is wonderful and I’m grateful for vaccination proof! There was an initial seating issue, but it was resolved.

This new club is a beautiful addition to the music scene on the North Shore. They have created a visually appealing and acoustically satisfying environment. We had wonderful seats in the VIP mezzanine first row where we overlooked the musicians on stage. Couldn't ask for a better view. However, be aware, that if you sit back from the first row, you will be watching the stage on a video screen. That would not be my idea of seeing a live performance. My only other complaint about the venue is that masks were not required. Web site gave the impression they would be. Christian McBride and his band mates were terrific. They were a great choice for the first act of the club's opening. CM is a warm and generous musician and band leader who created good vibes (spiritually and actually) with the audience and lots of praise and improvisation time for bandmates. Their live music show was worth waiting for; a wonderful re-entry into almost normal social interaction.

Christian McBride and his group put on a virtuoso performance to launch Jimmy’s On Congress into the jazz venue stratosphere. Mesmerizing and unforgettable!

Mr McBride and his band Inside Straight were hot and cookin'. They played an amazing set with all participants showing their skill and technique with ease. Unfortunately, San Antonians have little appreciation for straight ahead jazz, as evidenced by the lukewarm reception offered as these men played. Too bad... true jazz lovers will still have to go to Austin, Houston or Dallas (real "big cities") to see the artists they like.
