Christian McBride With Chick Corea ‘Freedom Band’ Tour Starts In Hollywood
The Chick Corea "Freedom Band" with Christian, Kenny Garrett and the legendary Roy Haynes hit the road Saturday June 12th. The "Freedom Band", in many instances, is a reunion band. Corea, McBride, Garrett and Haynes have been intertwined in many projects together over the last 15 years. Corea's 1996/97 all-star project, "Remembering Bud Powell" featured the members of the "Freedom Band". Corea and Garrett were part of McBride's sophomore recording, "Number Two Express". McBride and Garrett were also a part of 2008/09's Grammy-winning "Five Peace Band" co-led by Corea and John McLaughlin, while Haynes, the ageless legend, has collaborated with Corea in various groups for over 40 years. This band is not to be missed!
