    Celebrate Black History Month with Philadelphia native and bass phenom Christian McBride as he leads his band in a new jazz opus, The Movement, Revisited, featuring a special collaboration with the Penn Jazz Ensemble and New Spirit of Penn Gospel Choir. With a just-added movement dedicated to the 2009 election of America’s first black president, this monumental work is a tribute to the great icons of the civil rights crusade including Rosa Parks, Muhammad Ali, Malcom X and Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. The Movement, Revisited “captures musically how their deeds shaped our world and reminds us of our responsibility to pave the way for many to live a better life,” says McBride. Co-Director of the National Jazz Museum in Harlem, McBride is known for not only being one of the most prolific, passionate and talented jazz bassists of today, but for his performances on hundreds of albums and in concert with artists such as David Sanborn, Chick Corea, Sting, McCoy Tyner, Diana Krall, Natalie Cole, Kathleen Battle and George Benson.
