# Event Details - **Event Name**: Christopher McBride Quartet - **Event Start and End Date**: Fri, 06 Feb, 2026 at 08:00 pm – Fri, 06 Feb, 2026 at 10:30 pm - **Event Description**: Join us for a special night of jazz with Saxophonist Christopher McBride and his Quartet!About this EventSaxophonist Christopher McBride is based in New York City. His work includes education, arranging and composition in addition to performance. He has been slowly but steadily turning heads with his ubiquitous work as an invaluable sideman since the mid-2000’s. Now Christopher is gaining respect amongst fans, critics, and his peers as one of the most versatile saxophonists in the world. His 2012 debut album Quatuor de Force certainly establishes his ability to front a group and write his own soulful, melodically indelible tunes. Applauded for his ability to play in all musical situations, McBride has the ability to unleash a fiery attack and serrated tone, but on his first album he explores a more measured, mellow sound heavily influenced by contemporary R&B—with a strong shot of Cannonball Adderley’s post-bop sensuality—but his improvising is very rigorous and cogent. As a composer, McBride was selected as the 2022 Make Jazz Fellowship artist at The 18th Street Arts Center in Santa Monica, California.Born in Chicago, and starting his professional career there in 2007, Christopher made the move to NYC in 2013. His group,The Whole Proof, has played venues all over New York. Christopher ran his  ‘Singer Meets Saxophonist’ series at the famed Minton’s Playhouse in Harlem from 2017-2019. The musicians he has performed with over the years span many genres sharing the stage with Billy Preston, Percy Gray, Roy Hargrove, Pete Rock, Rakim, Big Daddy Kane, Talib Kweli, Lupe Fiasco, Guy Sebastian, Solange, Ne-Yo, Jennifer Hudson, Alice Smith, Brandon Flowers, Lea DeLaria, 88 Keys, Milton Mustafa, Winard Harper, and the Marquis Hill’s Blacktet. As a recording artist, McBride’s February 2023 release ‘Ramon’ made the Top 25 on the JazzWeek Charts and stayed on the charts for 14 weeks as well as making the JazzWeek Top 100 albums for 2023. The sophomore release has received critical acclaim. All About Jazz called the album “a sonic marvel that showcases a robust grasp of bebop and contemporary jazz idioms.” As a performing artist he has received a Grammy certificate for his work as a collaborator/soloist on Steven Feifke and Bijon Watson’s 2022 album “Generation Gap Jazz Orchestra.”As an educator, McBride has served as the Director of Education for the Second Line Arts Collective, a non-for-profit organization based out of New Orleans. His primary duties included writing curriculum for the Little Stompers division and teacher development. He also teaches for Jazz at Lincoln Center regularly, as well as touring nationally with various educational programs.As a journalist and consultant, McBride has worked with Forbes Ignite, the innovation coalition of Forbes. - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/old-lyme/christopher-mcbride-quartet/100001978788581916 - **Event Categories**: music, entertainment, art, performances, live-music, jazz - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 27.98, max: 54.45, currency: USD ## Event venue details - **city**: Old Lyme - **state**: CT - **country**: United States - **location**: The Side Door - **lat**: 41.32454070000001 - **long**: -72.32636630000002 - **full address**: The Side Door , 85 Lyme St, Old Lyme, United States - **location**: The Side Door ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: Christopher McBride Quartet - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events4/banners/36f63c32e44892d40e164ccdbd97c525b525656b605707f96891d6018f53db9a-rimg-w800-h600-dc1e2f46-gmir.jpg?v=1766452699 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is Christopher McBride Quartet being held? - **A:** Christopher McBride Quartet takes place on Fri, 06 Feb, 2026 at 08:00 pm to Fri, 06 Feb, 2026 at 10:30 pm at The Side Door , 85 Lyme St, Old Lyme, United States. - **Q**: How much do tickets cost for Christopher McBride Quartet? - **A:** Ticket prices for Christopher McBride Quartet range from USD 28 to USD 54 depending on the ticket type.
