Christian McBride Tickets

THe event was great! THe venue and the music was awesome.

We loved the show!!! My husband and I came up from DC for this and we were definitely not disappointed. I listen to WGBO in Newark online and heard about the Centennial. I told my husband that I was going no matter who chose to go with me. He's a professional drummer here in DC and is not easily impressed but he consented to come. We were impressed by the quality of the music, the performers and the arrangement and pacing of the show. It turns out that my husband has been following Christian McBride for years. He performs at the Kennedy Center so I will be watching for him. NJPAC is likely to see us again though we're not sure when but definitely for the James Moody Jazz Festival next year.

The venue and artists were spectacular ~ it was a magical evening!

Christian McBride organized and conducted a wonderful blend of spectacular instrumental and vocal music that recalled Dizzy and Ella, and displayed the outstanding musicality of the band and the invited guests. It was an evening that we will not forget.

It was an extraordinary event! The musicianship and interpretations were simply amazing. I could have spent the entire day listening to and appreciating this concert. No small matter: NJPAC is a very special place.

What more could you ask for? A great big band led by Christian McBride, plus singers Gregory Porter, Lizz Wright and Valerie Simpson, rocked the stage of Prudential Hall.

The performances were great. It was a “Goldilocks” show...not too long not too short. The musicians were top shelf. I look forward to the next great show. Thank you for awesome evening!

The show was good, but Gregory Porter need to have his own show. I would pay double the ticket price to see him sing. Gregory Porter truly have GREAT VOICE !! He would sale out NJPAC with no problem, please bring him to NJPAC !!

I didn't think a bass and voice could be so completely entertaining. My favorite artists are almost always vocalists. I am a major Dianne Reeves fan. It was wonderful seeing her in such an intimate setting and sharing the platform with such an awesome peer. I was 6 rows from the stage. Watching Christian McBride play was almost like witnessing an erotic act as he caressed his bass. To listen only would be to miss so much of the effect. As a result, I checked out his 2011 Conversations album. I would welcome an opportunity to see them together again. There are not enough superlatives to describe McBride and Reeves one on one.

A beautiful and elegant event! I enjoyed the ambiance, class and culture of this event . I love Gregory and Valarie and now I have another amazing musician to enjoy in Liz, three amazing talented artist. I am delighted a concert of this nature still exist.

This is the music of a people. Music that had a style and people dressed to show their appreciation for a true art form, that came out a people from their heart as a gift to the world.

McChristian Orchestra, trumpeter Sean Jones and violinist Regina Carter made musical magic and did great service to Dizzy's compositions and genius as an artist. Lizz Wright and Gregory Porter transported all present to the higher plain of Ella's musical repertoire and incredible musicianship. A fan of Valerie Simpson but her gift is in accompanying herself on the piano as she rocks her own compositions; renditions of the American Songbook not her strength.

The mutual admiration was evident as these two consummate pros told great stories, sung and made beautiful music together. I really think Dianne Reeves is a national treasure.

Trip thru time with 2 of the Greats. Each shared captivating stories of not only their beginnings but stories relevant to other Big Time Artists. Stories were as Big as the music itself.

Incredible evening of phenomenal musicians ! I would like to see them again with a drummer.

Christian McBride was awesome. But, Emmit Cohen stole the show with his swingin' piano fingers.

This was a 2 for 1 because The Gary Starling Group opened, and then the trio was amazing. Very upbeat, intense playing from all three, maybe the best trio around today. Certainly the best upright bassist I have ever heard. The Ritz Theater has great acoustics.

I love both Bruce Hornsby and Christian McBride and I understand that it was a One on One event. But could have been more music and a little less conversation. But I still enjoyed the evening. Good Event!

Expected to hear more piano playing by Bruce Horsby and more bass playong by Chrstian McBride, instead the majority of the performance was spent talking about Bruce Hornsby's past and his playing of basketball and his sports stories.

I loved this event! Hopefully, McBride will be continuing his One on One series with other artists/musical associates. I am a new fan of McBride. He can definitely work that bass! With regard to Metheny, I make sure to see him perform once a year! I have been doing this for as long as I can remember. He NEVER disappoints. McBride and Metheny played a little music, then talked a bit, then involved the audience in a musical game. The show could have been longer and I would have loved if Metheny came back for one encore performance. It was an honor to hear Metheny speak about his music. He is passionate and modest. Great show!!!!!!!!
