I just think this young man is wonderful on so many levels. Like his mentor standing with him, he already carries himself with such an elegant demeanor (you should see him now!) but importantly, he works hard to be rooted deeply in the music -- and the tradition of this music. I saw Christian cast a spell over an audience at Yoshi's here in Oakland not long ago: you could have heard a pin drop between the gasps of wonder and enjoyment. We're in good hands with Mr. Sands.

Well, your question has been answered because NOW, he IS a huge jazz star. He's a star by himself, with his own trio, and with Christian McBride's trio. I think he's just about tops in his field and in his age-group. He's extremely good and I can't wait to see/hear what he does next!

Why isn't Christian Sands a huge jazz star? This kid is flowing with talent....for heavens sake you record labels!! Do we have to do your freaking work for you? A talent brimming with joy. Been watching him since the Grammy appearance a few years ago...

One f the most important things to note about this setting, is the character building influence that Billy Taylor gives out. If you understand what's really happening here, he has a talented young group of musicians who've not only embraced this timeless genre, but the audience is made of of hungry, interested young people (and adults) who find this level of music very palatable. Seeds are being planted here which will one day flourish and germinate within the musical minds of a few. awesome.

Wonderful is an understatement. Extremely talented young player and a great teacher and mentor to so many. Unfortunately, the kids who can not see in themselves what the human spirit is capable of achieving are among the missing.

i'm an Indian born in the year 1974 - i share my Birthday with Bill Evans (something of which i'm extremely proud although i'm nowhere near Him as a Musician/Pianist) - By The Grace Of God through my Mother and Father i grew up with Jazz ( and Classical both Indian and European ) literally from conception - amongst my earliest memories of the Music was going to sleep at night listening to The Amazing Bud Powell Volume 1 and By God's Grace i'll never forget how i felt when i first heard Powell Play Night In Tunisia especially the way He ended it with that min6 Chord. And also George Shearing playing East of The Sun West of The Moon - and Oscar Peterson playing Green Dolphin Street - etc.etc.etc.etc. - in High School it was standard practise to come home, eat some Mumbai Junk Food known as Pav Bhaaji, play Chick Corea's Mad Hatter on rotation and re-read Muhammad Ali's AutoBiography for the hundredth time - Later i was lucky to discover Bill Evans and basically heard EVERYTHING of His for over a thousand hours for sure - His NYC's No Lark overdubbed Piano recording - it's one of the most important evens in my life, when i hear that - that along with Bud Powell's Night In Tunisia - it for me is the same moment, in my own very small way - that Miles described in His AutoBiography when He heard Charlie Parker and Dizzy Gillespie for the first time - that's how the AutoBiography begins - Later on i was Blessed to discover Mulgrew Miller - and these days, whenever i hit a low point - i go to Mulgrew Miller and also Woody Shaw - to get the spirit through Music to pick me up - Being from India - i've been Supremely Blessed to Grow up By The Grace Of God, Through My Mother and Father - with the Sublime Spiritual Tradition of this Ancient, Most Beautiful, Sublime and Greatest of All Civilizations ever - amongst other things i read Paramahansa Yogananda's AutoBiography of a Yogi so many times that this point if You opened the Book at random and read any sentence of the page, i could tell You 9/10 times what Chapter it is - The Spirituality of India combined with the Spirit of the Original America as expressed in Sound Through Jazz in the 20th Century is for me something that represents such extreme Beauty - Whenever i Hear the Old Jazz Masters - or even when i see a Movie like The GodFather or JFK - i Pray to God to return America to what is used to be 60/70 years ago - as opposed to the deviant i see today - By The Grace Of God and The Blessings of My Mother and Father - i ended up Playing Jazz Piano and doing Music Arrangement as my way in Life - Although i'll never be anywhere near the league and Greatness of the Great American Jazz Masters and my Heroes - kzfaq.info/get/bejne/q92deJWi1LuqZqc.html kzfaq.info/get/bejne/fsigoslpztaan2w.html kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ZpeXaNqlmKzaeps.html Couple of clips - nothing phenomenal - just Your averagely decent Jazz Piano Player/Musician one amongst over a hundred thousand more living on this Planet right now. By The Grace of God and The Blessings of My Parents - i'm neither racist nor misogynistic (although i do think "feminism" is a load of b.s - crap and rubbish and a cancerous type ideology with an agenda far different from what it purports to be, based on a fundamentally flawed proposition - also i've been brought up By The Grace of God to see the Beauty in All Religions apart from my own Hindu Religion - past the divisions caused by pundits and theologians in the name of religion - By The Grace of God i love Mother Mary and Lord Jesus Christ - and i idolize Shri Sai Baba who looked and spoke like a pucca Moslem sitting in the Mosque while at the same time, reviving the Ancient Hindu Spiritual Tradition in India in the 19th Century - Also, By The Grace of God, i'm neither stupid, naive, brainwashed or misinformed - By God's Grace, quite the contrary - the present millenium term is "woke" - right ? There's a reason i'm going on so long and pontificating about myself - and believe it or not, it's not ego or narcissism - at least i hope not - i need to state all of the above so that what i'm about to say might have some perspective - i LOVE Donald Trump - i was on my KNEES Praying to God and Deities of Every Religion the night (for me in Mumbai) of 8th/9th November 2016 to Grant Donald Trump Victory over that evil ... don't even know what term to use for her - and Thus use Trump as HIS (God's Instrument) to salvage what little was left of the old America i Love, Remember and Mourn - (seriously mourn - my Friends sometimes take me to task for mourning the devastation of the U.S.A more than the devastation and problems of my own Motherland which are far worse than even what ya'll went through there) - and to protect the remnants of the old America from those who have done and are doing there best now to destroy - (hrc is a puppet for them) - and then to revive that and bring it back in time to it's former Greatness - And i also Pray that The Good Lord - that He sends Thousand More Donald Trumps - nay - Ten Thousand More - Ten times more Donald Trump like than Donald Trump - in America - in India (actually our present Prime Minister is our Indian version of Donald Trump) - and all over the world - to hasten the Spiritual and Ideological defeat and destruction of the "left" - and thus free all nations of the World and their People from the scourge that is the "left" that has made the normal Salt of the Earth people suffer and live their lives in hardship and struggle for centuries - And when Trump Won - that moment - when the Broward County in Florida Results came in - and it was definite that Trump HAD Won, By The Miracle, Grace and Blessings of THE ALMIGHTY GOD - and that look on the face of those rascals at cnn, new york times, washington post, huffpost, nbc, abc etc.etc.etc. THAT MOMENT - was for me the SAME feeling that i had when i heard Bud Powell's Night In Tunisia and Bill Evans's NYC's No Lark at ages 5/6 and 22 respectively - of course i was hearing Bud Powell right from infancy or even in My Mother's Womb along with Frederic Chopin and Pandit Jasraj - but i was not cogniscant - my earliest memory of Jazz actually, before even Bud Powell is the sound of that Walking Bass Line and that Beautiful Swing Rhythm - SaiRama - RestoreIndia'sGreatness (RIA) MakeAmericaGreatAgain (MAGA) - and Yes i actually have one of the Red MAGA Caps which i placed at the feet of the Highest of All Hindu Deities Shri Lord Ganesha and implored HIM to Protect America and Trump through that Hat as a symbol. No - i'm not mad - i'm in fact one of the few that are still sane - inspite of everything - again - Wholely and Solely By The Grace Of God. Amen. SaiRama

I can definitely tell you are not stupid. But you stand up for stupid things. You can be all that intectually taught and literate. That doesn't make you wise. Or even sane. I mean, you can have great musical taste or healthy habits, or anything else that makes you think you are respectable as a person, I doubt you have enough assimilated information to understand something as complex as social and political History. You can understand economics, biology, physics, programming and whatnot. That still does not make you any more able and capable of knowing the truth about the whole universe. And I know you are not claiming to be. But still you failed to explain why you hate feminism, apparently knowing nothing about it. You can't even say why do you find this personified thing you're calling Left so evil. I mean, you clearly don't know what Left is. I bet you can't tell the difference between communism and socialism, or give any examples of where it has failed, any more than the ignorant people who enjoy eating earth and beating their heads against the wall. It doesn't matter if you don't think it's a ghost as most ignorants do, or if you know the earth isn't square/flat. You're still ignoring things as simple as DonaldTrump being a corrupt asshole who cannot and should not be in charge of one of the richest countries in the world. If you think all you're aptitudes and your background and scholarship makes you automatically entitled to know what you're saying and to spread or express misinformation and cliches without sounding and seeming dumb, you're completely wrong my friend. I know, I know... Having an opinion doesn't necessarily make you stupid. But it can make You a jerk. If you're smart, which I believe you are, you'll at least question yourself. Maybe your narcissism won't allow you to, as is the case with most people. Just remember, psychopaths are really smart too. I'm not accusing you of anything. And I hope I won't offend you. Also one more thing: you are the one who made such a big deal of yourself (and souding oh so humble) Anyway, peace out
