Running In Circles
Award-winning film composer and multi-instrumentalist Christian McGhee returns to Jazz St. Louis for his “Midwest Album Release Party.”
The album, described as “cinematic jazz” incorporates strings and vocals and features all original music that McGhee recorded in January but hasn’t released it.
McGhee will be joined on stage by Georgia Heers on vocals, Jahari Stampley on piano, Santosh Sharma on tenor saxophone, Brad Kang on guitar, and Nathan Pence on bass.
In April 2023, Christian was awarded BMI's Future Jazz Master Award & Ahrold Family commission at the National Endowment for the Arts (NEA) annual celebration of the Jazz Masters Fellows in Washington D.C. He presented the World Premiere of his Commission/Debut Album A Winged Resilience to two sold-out audience's at Jazz at Lincoln Center's Dizzy's Club on May 20, 2024.
