About this concert
A deeply rich and soulful feeling can be heard in Christian’s music, characterized by his infectious energy and spirit. It was that same spirit that caught the attention of Grammy award winning bassist, Christian McBride, who asked Sands — then 20 years old — to sit in at the Village Vanguard with his big band, Inside Straight. That appearance led to Sands becoming a member of bassist Christian McBride’s Trio, with whom he has toured throughout the world. Their 2013 CD release, “Out Here,” received a Grammy nomination for Best Jazz Instrumental Album.

Christian Sands Biography
The bungling, pianistic technique alone, which is captured in tremendous pressure, throws you back into your chair. Christian Sands, one of the young luminaries of contemporary jazz history, is peculiar and proclaims an almost singular high standard. Where does Sands hang out? In the former, equally uncharted territories of jazz development, which decidedly listens to the traditional theory of harmony as the foundation. But Sands doesn't make it easy for himself or even sit in nests he's made. With determination and with a highly developed individuality, he sets up his own creative space, where he relocates enlightened jazz classicism with fresh ambition and thirst for action. Sand's musical-cultural stance is deeply rooted in African-American jazz heritage.
