Charles McPherson has been one of the most expressive and highly regarded voices in jazz.
His most recent project, Jazz Dance Suites, in collaboration with the San Diego Ballet. A family affair, Jazz Dance Suites is inspired by McPherson’s daughter Camille McPherson, a soloist in her 8th season with the prestigious dance company.
McPherson’s rich musical style, rooted in the blues and bebop, has influenced and inspired generations of musicians and listeners. 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 for over a decade.
