Christian Sands
Description:
Born in 1989. Christian Sands was selected for Christian McBride's trio and InsideStraight, and has since been in the limelight as the leader of Mack Avenue, the second album by this talented pianist. Christian Sands, who has now become a core member of the contemporary scene, is described by McBride as having "not only great technique, but also a strong character. While the trio and Inside Straight have a strong orthodox impression in accordance with the jazz tradition, the leader's work again shows his own color. The bass and drums are played by Kyoshi Nakamura, who is active mainly in New York, and Jerome Jennings, who is currently a member of the McBride Trio with Sands. The trio, which has toured extensively, features two cutting-edge players from the contemporary jazz scene, Marcus Strickland and Keyon Harold (M2, 6), as well as a polyrhythmist who says he was struck by it at Chorine Beach in Venezuela, which he incorporates into his own sound. The album also includes a number (M4, M8) that evokes a South American vibe, incorporating polyrhythms that he says had a strong impact on him at Chorine Beach in Venezuela. On the other hand, five of the songs feature guitars and show contemporary performances, especially M7, which has a modern Americana feel to it. However, at the bottom of Sands' sound is a gospel feeling.The song "Sunday Morning" (M5), also titled "Sunday Morning," is a unique performance that combines Hammond, Rhodes, and piano in a single song, showing a scene of pious prayer with a reggae beat. The last part of the song is a contemplative and meditative piece of music. The final track closes with a meditative rose. The band made their worldwide debut with their first album, "Reach. Sands, whose first album "Reach" was his first album and a major accomplishment, shows further curiosity in this album. It is a work that stimulates the curiosity of listeners to see what direction he will take in the future.
