Aside from various stints with Sting, Chick Corea, Pat Metheny, Roy Haynes, Freddie Hubbard and George Duke, McBride has been artist-in-residence and artistic director with organizations such as Jazz House Kids, Los Angeles Philharmonic, The Jazz Museum in Harlem, Jazz Aspen and NJPAC (New Jersey Performing Arts Center -- Newark).
McBride manages to tour consistently with his quartet, the New Jawn, while rolling out new projects too. He also fronts the GRAMMY-winning Christian McBride Big Band, whose Mack Avenue recordings, “The Good Feeling” and “Bringin' It” won the GRAMMY® Award for Best Large Jazz Ensemble Album in 2012 and 2017, respectively. In addition, McBride hosts "The Lowdown: Conversations With Christian" on Sirius/XM and DJs at clubs as DJ Brother Mister.
