Wynton Marsalis once called 5x-GRAMMY® Award Nominated Jazz Pianist & Composer CHRISTIAN SANDS a “jazz star of the future,” and that future has arrived. Christian is an emerging jazz force. His abundant piano technique perfectly matches his conception, accomplishing a much deeper musical goal: a fresh look at the entire language of jazz. Whether it’s stride, swing, bebop, progressive, fusion, Brazilian or Afro-Cuban, Sands develops the past while providing unusual and stimulating vehicles for the present…and for the future.
A deeply rich and soulful feeling can be heard in Christian Sands’ music, characterized by his infectious energy and spirit. It was that same spirit that caught the attention of 8x-GRAMMY® Award-Winning Jazz Bassist, Christian McBride, who asked Sands — then 20 years old — to sit in at the Village Vanguard with his big band, Inside Straight. That appearance led to Sands becoming a member of bassist Christian McBride’s Trio, with whom he has toured throughout the world. Their 2013 CD release, ‘Out Here’, received a GRAMMY® Award Nomination for “Best Jazz Instrumental Album”.
Since arriving on the scene, Christian Sands has shared the stage with such jazz luminaries as: Wynton Marsalis, Dianne Reeves, Sheila E., Tia Fuller, Gary Burton, Terri Lyne Carrington, Jason Moran, Geri Allen, Ben Williams, Randy Brecker, Terence Blanchard, Louis Hayes, Patti Austin, Kirk Whalum, and Wycliffe Gordon, among others.
Christian Sands has released 5 acclaimed albums on Mack Avenue Records since 2017. In 2021, Sands was Nominated for a 2021 GRAMMY® Award for “Best Instrumental Composition” for his album ‘Be Water’.
