Bassist Christian McBride has signed with Mack Avenue Records. For the label, McBride has begun assembling like-minded and genre-bending artists for a progressive series of 20 duets titled “Conversations With Christian,” as part of a year-long project that celebrates his first 20 years as a professional musician.

McBride will also join Chick Corea’s Five Peace band featuring John McLaughlin and Kenny Garrett for a late fall European tour, followed by a spring U.S. tour. The Philadelphia native will also begin touring his new group Inside Straight in May.
