About
Christian McBride's acoustic bass solo is the 4th of 5 solos on this recording, following Stephen Scott's piano and before Billy Higgins's closing drums statement. Spanning three choruses of the 12-bar Blues form at a bright 241 BPM with a swing feel in C, the solo runs approximately 36 seconds. Christian McBride delivers three choruses of acoustic bass, remarkable for a player who was barely out of his teens at the time. Christian McBride was 17 to 18 years old at the time of this 1990 recording. Public Eye is an original blues composition by trumpeter Roy Hargrove, written around 1990 and first recorded for his sophomore album of the same name, released on the Novus/RCA label in 1991.
