Conversations with CHRISTIAN
About The Lowdown: Conversations with Christian, McBride states: “I’m not only excited about being able to expose other facets of my personality, but also exposing different facets of the many diverse guests who will appear on the SIRIUS XM show. Imagine hearing Chick Corea talk about football and to hear Angelique Kidjo imitating a New York cab driver. I mean, this shows special – if I must say so myself.”
Other guests will include Roy Hargrove, Lou Donaldson, Bill Charlap and Angelique Kidjo. The concept for the program derived from a digital downloads duets and conversations project that McBride released on Mack Avenue (available on iTunes) called “Conversations With Christian.” The Lowdown: Conversations with Christian will air every Saturday at 1 pm ET on SIRIUS XM’s Real Jazz.
