“Charles is the very definition of excellence in our music.” — Wynton Marsalis

“Terell Stafford is one of the great players of our time…” — McCoy Tyner

Two jazz stars comprise the front line of this multi-generational quintet! Still sounding strong at 85, Charles McPherson is a certifiable icon of the alto saxophone. He’s appeared on countless albums and festival stages around the world, collaborating with such figures as Charles Mingus, Dizzy Gillespie, James Moody, Art Farmer, Lionel Hampton, Nat Adderley, Randy Brecker and many others. McPherson is widely recognized as a composer, having written for ballet and chamber ensembles as well as jazz combos. Over the last three decades, Terell Stafford has established himself as one of the premier trumpeters of his era. Stafford is heard on more than 130 albums and has performed with jazz luminaries including Kenny Barron, Jimmy Heath, McCoy Tyner, Jon Faddis, Diana Krall, and the Clayton-Hamilton Jazz Orchestra. He is the Director of Jazz Studies at Temple University and has received numerous awards and other accolades. Get set for a real treat!
