Bassist Christian McBride brought his quintet to Cornell Friday. Formed in June 2007, the group Inside Straight made its debut at the Village Vanguard, marking the first time in 10 years that McBride appeared there as a leader. His work showcased hard swing-to-bluesy groove tunes from his recent record “Kind of Brown” and the quintet, which has performed from the Vanguard to make appearances at the Monterey Jazz Festival and in Brazil, and for select 2010 dates, including the Cornell show, displayed its prowess as a group and individually with frequent solos.
