Music is the universal language

Sometimes the most meaningful communication happens without dialogue. Great music tells us that we are not alone with our emotions.

McPherson was Charles born in Joplin, Mo., and moved to Detroit at the age of 9. After growing up in Detroit, he studied with the renowned pianist Barry Harris and started playing jazz professionally at age 19. He moved from Detroit to New York in 1959 and performed with Charles Mingus from 1960 to 1972. While perform- ing with Mingus, he collaborated frequently with Harris, Lonnie Hillyer (trumpet), and George Coleman (tenor sax). He was recently featured at Lincoln Center showcasing his original composi- tions and arrangements with a seven-piece ensemble. He has toured the U.S., Europe, Japan, Africa and South America with his own group, as well as with jazz greats Billy Eckstine, Lionel Hampton, Nat Adderly, Jay McShann and others. McPherson has recorded as guest artist with Charlie Mingus, Harris, Art Farmer, Kenny Drew, Toshiko Akiyoshi, the Carn- egie Hall Jazz Orchestra, and the Lincoln Center Jazz Orchestra with Wynton Marsa- lis. He has recorded as leader on Prestige, Fantasy, Mainstream, Discovery, Xanadu, and most recently Arabesque record labels. His most recent recording is the highly acclaimed “Manhattan Nocturne.” McPherson also was the featured alto saxophonist in the Clint Eastwood film “Bird,” a biography about Charlie Parker.
