“Jazz Dance Suites” earned him Album of the Year and Artist of the Year honors in the annual Jazz Times readers’ poll. Buzz is now building about a possible Grammy nomination.

The album showcases McPherson equally as a composer, band leader, soloist and ensemble player whose artistic command and imagination grow greater with each passing year. That command will be on display at Queen Bee’s, where he’ll lead a band that features 2021 Grammy Award winner John Beasley on piano.....
Thank you, U-T & George Varga! ... See MoreSee Less

Really looking forward to the show. Of course to see Charles again, but also John Beasley again (I loved Monk’estra). And Rob is always great, Gilbert too.

Happy birthday, Mr. McPherson! Best wishes to you.
