With \;relentless energy and a boundless love of swing\, McBride’s path has taken a continuous positive arc. With a career now blazing into its third decade\, the Philadelphia native has become on e of the most requested\, most recorded\, and most respected figures in th e music world today.\n \;\nChristian McBride brings that same breadth of experience to bear as Artistic Advisor for Jazz Programming at the New Jersey Performing Arts Center (NJPAC)\, and in his appointment in 2015 as incoming Artistic Director for Newport Jazz Festival. He also  \;hosts and produces “The Lowdown: Conversations With Christian” on SiriusXM sate llite radio and National Public Radio’s “Jazz Night in America”.\n \; \nCompleting the circle is his work with Jazz House Kids\, the nationally recognized community arts organization founded by his wife\, vocalist Meli ssa Walker. \; Exclusively dedicated to educating children through jaz z\, the “Jazz House” concept brings internationally renowned jazz performe rs to teach alongside a professional staff\, offering students a wide rang e of creative programming that develops musical potential\, enhances leade rship skills\, and strengthens academic performance. This shared celebrati on of America’s original musical art form cultivates tomorrow’s community leaders and global citizens while preserving its rich legacy for future ge nerations.\n \;\nThis resonates beautifully for \;True Blue Jazz F ans &\; supporters. Having Christian McBride And Tip City here for our Festival really does bring the True Blue Jazz message &\; mission home to us. “Preservation Through Performance”\, as well as that of \;our Y outh Jazz Initiative does “complete the circle” for Christian McBride & \; for True Blue Jazz\, as Christian is joined on stage in his Trio by for mer Jazz House Kids “alum”\, Emmett Cohen on piano…and by young Jazz Guita rist\, Dan Wilson.\n \;\nEmmet is making his own mark Touring\, doing clubs &\; festival dates \;with his own group. He is a rapidly risi ng star on the Jazz Scene.  \;Possessing a fluid technique\, an innova tive tonal palette\, and an expansive repertoire\, Cohen plays with the co mmand of a seasoned veteran and the passion of an artist fully devoted to his medium.\n \;\nDan \;has made quite a mark on the local jazz sc ene in a relatively short time.  \;A \;regular with Joey DeFrances co\, Dan \;comes form that lineage of George Benson\, Pat Martino\, Ke nny Burrell school. Christian McBride says of Dan Wilson…”He’s got such gr eat technique with great ideas and he swings real hard”\n \;\nTip City is a nod to the Jazz Trios \;that have haunted the great Jazz Clubs f rom coast to coast. The Jazz Cats of yesterday are smilin’ large as Christ ian leads this Trio\, pointing the way for these two talented next generat ion \;sidemen\, as they \;venture into parts yet to be charted in the world of Jazz &\; Bebop. Christian McBride And Tip City will leave no musical debts unpaid\, as they pay it forward\, carrying \;on the e nduring tradition of American Jazz. \;With a \;jazz luminary like Christian McBride leading Tip City\, there’s no doubt this will \;be a concert to be remembered\, &\; talked about for years to come!\n \ ;\nJoin True Blue Jazz as we welcome Christian McBride And Tip City \; to our Stage in their only appearance in Delaware\, or the Peninsula\, to date.
