“First there was the word❤️”

Master indeed!!

You obviously enjoyed Charles McPherson talking in the above video. Well for more of a similar nature well look no further than the essential 700+ STAN BRITT COLLECTION in to which Charles has provided brilliant previously unheard or available interviews which should be of great interest. The entire collection can be accessed courtesy of The British Library Sound Archive in London. Catalogue Reference: C.1645. Collections.

Listen up, McPherson fans! We'd like to alert you all to a very special weekend HERE in San Diego February, 2027. We don't have links yet, and a bit early for details, but it's going to be a an incredible weekend: Feb, 19th & 20th. "Detroit to San Diego: A Jazz Celebration Honoring Charles McPherson" Pencil us in, and watch out for details.
We're so excited, we couldn't help but pre-announce! (East Coast fans--we know you like to get out of the snow for a visit!) ... See MoreSee Less
