Join The Charles McPherson Quintet with trumpeter Terell Stafford, jazz MVP drummer Lewis Nash, pianist Bruce Barth and bassist Peter Washington in celebrating the 9th Anniversary of The Nash. The weekend will concurrently honor the centennial of Charlie “Bird” Parker, who is widely regarded as the father of Be-Bop. Alto saxophonist Charles McPherson was chosen to headline the weekend because of his reputation for keeping the torch of Charlie Parker burning brightly through his virtuosity, while being constantly fresh and innovative – never stuck in the past.
