The Philadelphia Experiment is the self-titled album resulting from a collaborative project including Uri Caine (keyboards), Ahmir "Questlove" Thompson (drums) and Christian McBride (bass). Guest musicians include Pat Martino (electric guitar), Jon Swana (trumpet) and Larry Gold (cello and arrangement).
Though all from Philadelphia, each musician brings their unique musical background. Caine is a pianist equally comfortable in jazz, classical and the avant-garde; Thompson is a hip-hop drummer; while McBride a jazz bassist. The result is described by critics as an "insanely funky" album. "Mister Magic" is followed by a "hidden track", where Christian McBride plays a cover of "Just the Two of Us" by Grover Washington, Jr., with bass tracks only, starting at the 4:30 mark of the song.
Ropeadope later issued two follow-up albums:
Rope-a-dope Records also issued a Remix version of the album Presented by King Britt.
