Bringin' It is a studio album by American jazz bassist Christian McBride together with his big band.[12][13][14] The record was released on September 22, 2017, via the Mack Avenue label—both on CD and on LP.[15][16] After The Good Feeling, this is his second album as a big band leader and his fourteenth overall. The album consists of 11 tracks: a mix of his own compositions and famous jazz standards, including a version of "Mr. Bojangles" featuring his wife, vocalist Melissa Walker.[17] The album opens with the song "Gettin’ to It", which is the title of his 1994 debut album.
