Today on with Tom Power:

  • Christian McBride has played with everyone from Paul McCartney to Renee Fleming and from James Brown to Queen Latifah. Ahead of a live date in Toronto, the 8-time Grammy-winning bassist sits down with Tom Power to talk about his career and music, and Christian opens up about why he wanted to write a suite for four civil rights legends: Martin Luther King Jr, Malcolm X, Muhammad Ali and Rosa Parks.

  • Marking Tate McRae's Juno nomination for "Songwriter of the Year," the Calgary musician gives us a behind-the-scenes look at her song she's all i wanna be. Tate shares the story of moving to LA, and her journey learning how to express herself through song.
