...humor. But the central character--unlike those on the old series Martin on Fox, Def Comedy Jam on HBO and many of the other so-called urban-oriented programs that have drawn large African-American audiences in recent years--is no buffoon. In fact, as played by portly Chi McBride, he's the smartest character on the show...
...coming up on the new millennium. It's time to tamper with things," says Christian McBride, a 27-year-old bass player who has recorded with everyone from Betty Carter to Diana Krall. A Family Affair (Verve), his third album as a leader, was released last summer. It includes some smart electric tunes (though listeners who actually lived through the 1970s may not be eager to reacquaint themselves with the sound of Moog synthesizers) but reaches its peak with an acoustic, rhythmically virtuosic version of the Sly Stone title song that somehow manages to swing while also suggesting the original...

Though Keezer gives himself three solo numbers--a highlight being his gentle deconstruction of Lush Life--the heart of the album is a series of tunes featuring Keezer in an all-star trio setting with bassist Christian McBride and saxophonist Joshua Redman. The lack of a drummer to knit things together in the usual way, along with Keezer's provocative, concerto-like arrangements (his accompaniment can be even more interesting than his solos), suggests a kind of jazz version of Baroque counterpoint. Three cuts feature a breathy Diana...
