About
Charles McPherson (born July 24, 1939) is an American jazz alto saxophonist born in Joplin, Missouri, United States; raised in Detroit, Michigan; and now lives in San Diego, California. He worked intermittently with Charles Mingus from 1960 to 1974, and as a performer leading his own groups.
McPherson also was commissioned to help record ensemble renditions of pieces from Charlie Parker, on the 1988 soundtrack for the film Bird.
In 2020, the JazzTimes magazine readers' poll named McPherson Artist of the Year, and also selected his album Jazz Dance Suites as Best New Release.
