The first album by Ursa Major, newly led by Christian McBride, a bassist, composer, bandleader, and artistic director who has won as many as 11 Grammys over a career spanning more than 30 years! In this band named after the constellation Ursa Major (the Great Bear), which contains the most brilliantly shining Big Dipper, promising young musicians Nicole Glover (saxophone), Mike King (piano), Ely Perlman (guitar), and Savannah Harris (drums) are in full swing! The group releases it at just the right moment, fully prepared, after wrapping up a long Japan tour in September 2026.
