A Conversation with Charles McPherson

August 27, 2020 @ 6:30 pm - 7:30 pm CDT

For more than 60 years, saxophonist Charles McPherson has been one of the most expressive and highly regarded voices in jazz. His rich musical style, rooted in the blues and bebop, has influenced and inspired generations of musicians and listeners. Join Charles McPherson and MJI artistic director Mark Davis for a conversation about Charles’s amazing career. Taking place just two days before the 100th anniversary of Charlie Parker’s birth, Bird and bebop are sure to be part of the discussion. Attendees are invited to ask questions and hear about Charles’s incredible experiences. Interviewed by Mark Davis, pianist, educator, writer and composer.
