Christian McBride's New Jawn — trumpeter Josh Evans (Jackie McLean, Cedar Walton, Rasheid Ali), saxophonist and bass clarinetist Marcus Strickland (Roy Haynes, Jeff “Tain” Watts, Chris Dave, Bilal, Robert Glasper), and drummer Nasheet Waits (Jason Moran, Joe Lovano, John Medeski) — is back with their highly anticipated sophomore album, Prime, the follow-up to McBride’s GRAMMY® nominated Philly-centric named group.

With the release of this exhilarating second album, and seven years as a band under their collective belts, Christian McBride's New Jawn isn’t quite so new anymore. You’d never guess it from the tightrope-walking sounds they create together, though, which is why the name still fits.

Featuring original compositions from each band member as well as fresh takes on songs from Sonny Rollins, Ornette Coleman and Larry Young, this group offers a space of exploration for the 8-time GRAMMY® Award-winning McBride to stretch his veteran wings.
