With its latest album “Prime,” New Jawn has hit its stride.
Christian McBride during his concert at Constellation, a performing arts nightclub in Chicago, on March 23, 2023.
Then again, it’s not every day a musician of Christian McBride’s stature rolls into the intimate North Center venue. McBride is one of the most admired bassists of his generation, a Grammy winner eight times over, a syndicated radio host and the artistic director of the titanic Newport Jazz Festival. He tends to headline the city’s hugest stages, like Orchestra Hall and Millennium Park. By contrast, Constellation has carved out a niche in the city for all things experimental and offbeat.
“Obsequious” hurtled even faster in New Jawn’s first set than it does on “Prime.” But the band’s tight sense of ensemble didn’t crack one bit, the knotty opening played in razor’s edge rhythmic unison by the pitched instruments before opening into a solo by Evans. Evans is tall, unassuming and almost monklike onstage, curling around his instrument like a shell.
