Why isn't Christian Sands a huge jazz star? This kid is flowing with talent....for heavens sake you record labels!! Do we have to do your freaking work for you? A talent brimming with joy. Been watching him since the Grammy appearance a few years ago...
Well, your question has been answered because NOW, he IS a huge jazz star. He's a star by himself, with his own trio, and with Christian McBride's trio. I think he's just about tops in his field and in his age-group. He's extremely good and I can't wait to see/hear what he does next!
I just think this young man is wonderful on so many levels. Like his mentor standing with him, he already carries himself with such an elegant demeanor (you should see him now!) but importantly, he works hard to be rooted deeply in the music -- and the tradition of this music. I saw Christian cast a spell over an audience at Yoshi's here in Oakland not long ago: you could have heard a pin drop between the gasps of wonder and enjoyment. We're in good hands with Mr. Sands.
One f the most important things to note about this setting, is the character building influence that Billy Taylor gives out. If you understand what's really happening here, he has a talented young group of musicians who've not only embraced this timeless genre, but the audience is made of of hungry, interested young people (and adults) who find this level of music very palatable. Seeds are being planted here which will one day flourish and germinate within the musical minds of a few. awesome.
this was absolutely beautiful.
AWESOME WORK CHRISTIAN SANDS! WOW. ..I seen him play as a young teen years ago at our local community college. CT has great talent! So enjoying to see him grow.... continue to thrive!
Wonderful is an understatement. Extremely talented young player and a great teacher and mentor to so many. Unfortunately, the kids who can not see in themselves what the human spirit is capable of achieving are among the missing.
AWESOME musicians. The future of Jazz is sure in good hands w/the young artist..
Seriously, how good is this guy for his age... I'm 19 and this is just facepalm-material for me >.< That's one artist I'll be following from now on.
Oh my goodness, this must be a great dream!!
fantastic stuff
That must be he's most memorable lesson!
I want a piano!
