Christian McBride plays a cool bass solo version of Just the Two of Us as the hidden track on the Philadelphia Experiment album. I love it. Link (new window)

"Christian McBride plays a cool bass solo version of Just the Two of Us as the hidden track on the Philadelphia Experiment album."

Very cool! I was lucky enough to see him and his band perform at the Iowa City Jazz Festival a few years ago. The guy's a monster musician, and quite a showman. It was a great, fun show. I also met him after his set. Nice guy.

I would consider him as one of the current greats of jazz.

Percussionist Ralph MacDonald has died at 67. He is perhaps best known for co-writing the classic "Just the Two of Us" being on a soundtrack where if you own exactly one disco album, it's probably that one.

I totally agree. He and Stanley Clarke are probably my two favorite current jazz bassists.

Ralph MacDonald, a highly regarded session musician and songwriter who co-wrote hits including "Where Is the Love?"

He wrote that Black Eyed Peas song?

I'm playing "Calypso Breakdown" now as a tribute. One of my favorite instrumentals.
