“The bebop master is a true alto saxophonist. He plays the instrument with fire, passion, and precision. He can pull your heartstrings with one note, and dazzle you with virtuosity and imagination. There is only one Bird, one Stitt, one Cannonball—and one Charles McPherson.” – Sherman Irby

Charles McPherson Quintet featuring Terell Stafford on trumpet. Supported by an all-star band, the 82-year-old McPherson is at the top of his game. Throughout COVID, McPherson hosted online concerts and taught students; now, the Detroit-raised and San Diego-based master is back on the road, sharing his gift with Dizzy’s audiences once again.
