Philip Bailey, Lisa Fischer, Dianne Reeves and Christian McBride Bigband at Betty Wold Johnson Stage

About

Time to blow the roof off the place. NJPAC Jazz Advisor Christian McBride (16x GRAMMY® nominee and 8x winner) and his Big Band welcome a fierce lineup of vocalists: Philip Bailey (Earth, Wind & Fire), Lisa Fischer (background singer for Luther Vandross, The Rolling Stones, Chaka Khan and Tina Turner, whose journey was featured in the Oscar-winning documentary Twenty Feet from Stardom) and NEA Jazz Master Dianne Reeves. It’s a star-studded prelude to McBride’s forthcoming album, which combines big voices with big band.
