I remember when Charles wrote this tune. Camille was pretty little, and the house was a "fun house!" The tune reminds me of the wonderful chaos of that time. Great post.

Hey Charles, great tune great rhythm section. You signed this CD for me at the Jazz Standard many times around the sun ago. Don't remember if Lewis, Mulgrew and Santi were on the gig.

This is absolutely one of my favorite Charles/ McPherson Records ever

I bought this one at your gig at the AQ in Mpls .we enjoyed seeing you live there.

This tune is a soundtrack for our place daily. Whay do I still not have this CD?

It's a nice be-bop😊

Hey Charles one day I hope to get to play with you 🎷🎷🎷👍😎

From a Facebook post by way of the Jazz Vinyl group, we met a very generous fan/soul that sent Charles TWO of his LPs that he did not own. One of them is not even opened. Charles is thrilled. Thank you, Russell Lee Fine, Jazz Vinyl Group, and everyone out there that loves jazz. This made our MONTH! ... See MoreSee Less

You are incredible Mr. McPherson !!! Thank you for your music!!

I have and love both of these LP’s!

With Facebook now taking up a third of of one's page with Advertising, it's so nice to see this story. What a great gift to share with the creator. We hope to see you again one day here in Taos, NM, Charles!

I remember listening to “ While We’re Young “. So much that I learned to play Lonnie Hillyer’s Trumpet solo

Not many top drawer Alto sax giants who also writes wonderful ballet music, Charles is one for sure.

Oh‼️ Be-Bop

Yeahhhh!!

Siku Ya Bibi - one of his best!

Love it! I need to find me some copies for my collection!

WOW!!!!

I’d like to get a copy of those !

I have both of these LPs. The one on the right, "Siku ya bibi" is one of my all time favorite sax-with-strings recordings!

Amen!

Beautiful gesture!!!

I own both. Thanks for making them!

Wow--such lovely responses for Charles McPherson on this post. Thanks everyone! I'd like to encourage everyone to order his new CD - Jazz Dance Suites. It's wonderful, if I may say so - great reviews from all!!! Thanks! www.charlesmcpherson.com
