Christopher McBride - The Hang, The Hustle, The Path (2025) [Official Digital Download 24/96]

Christopher McBride doesn’t just play bebop; he supercharges it. His new album arrives on October 3 with the force of a revelation, a record that manages to honor the intricacies of tradition while bursting with the urgency of the present. Recorded in just three days, the thirteen tracks feel at once spontaneous and deliberate, a balancing act that only a musician of McBride’s discipline could achieve.

McBride’s band, The Whole Proof, is no sideline project. Formed in Chicago more than a decade ago and reconstituted in New York after his move in 2013, the group has become his primary vehicle for storytelling through music. Storytelling, in fact, is the project’s central mission. Every composition is designed to carry emotion, to illuminate a moment, or to draw the listener into a world McBride has lived himself. That sense of purpose gives this album its gravity.
