Get Ready to Groove: DJ Brother Mister Spins at the Montclair Jazz Festival Block Party – September 13!
The 2025 Montclair Jazz Festival Block Party is bringing the heat to downtown Montclair on Saturday, September 13, and one of the most anticipated acts hitting the stage is none other than DJ Brother Mister — the alter ego of world-renowned bassist, bandleader, and Jazz House Artistic Director, Christian McBride.
Who is DJ Brother Mister?
Known around the globe as an nine-time GRAMMY® Award-winning bassist, Christian McBride has shared the stage with jazz legends, pop icons, and symphony orchestras alike. But when he steps into his DJ Brother Mister persona, McBride trades the upright bass for turntables, spinning a mix of classic funk, R&B, soul, and dance floor grooves that keep audiences moving all night.
DJ Brother Mister brings the same infectious energy, deep musical knowledge, and impeccable rhythm to his DJ sets as he does to his live jazz performances. His music choices reflect a lifetime of listening, playing, and celebrating the sounds that bring people together.
The Block Party Vibe
From 8 PM to 10 PM, Montclair’s Lackawanna Station will transform into a vibrant celebration of music, food, art, and community. The Block Party is part of the festival’s Downtown Jamboree, which features multiple stages of live performances, over 150 vendors, family-friendly activities, and the kind of street-party atmosphere that makes Montclair shine.
When DJ Brother Mister takes the stage, expect an irresistible dance party where the beats flow seamlessly from vintage vinyl cuts to modern hits, all tied together with his unmistakable charisma. Whether you’re a lifelong jazz fan or just here for the good vibes, his set will be one you won’t want to miss.
