T.D. Posted May 3, 2022 Report Share Posted May 3, 2022 I meant in the prior post that "(bebop) ghost" was likely used pejoratively by certain people "at the time" (in Jim's words). Not that Jim was using it in that way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rabshakeh Posted May 3, 2022 Report Share Posted May 3, 2022 It's still a good phrase. I meant that I detected no hostility towards McPherson in its use upthread. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At first listening (and this was after hearing my first Mingus 3-LP with Dolphy in Paris, the albums with McPherson maybe were a bit a disappointment to me ("Mingus at Monterey" and "My Favourite Quintet", but now I really like them. He sounds like a more mellow Bird maybe with a softer reed (maybe in the later years 1953,54). Since Mingus played with Bird in that period I think he chose McPherson for that "Bird Sound". It´s very significant on his solos in the jam session "Mingus at Carnegie Hall 1974 ten years later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His website shows that he is playing at the Bern Switzerland Jazz Festival at the end of this month: https://charlesmcpherson.com/event/bern-switzerland-international-jazz-festival/2022-05-24/ You could always fly there.

Peter Friedman Posted May 12, 2022 Report Share Posted May 12, 2022 Way off the track of a Charles McPherson thread. It strikes me as disrespecting McPherson. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSngry Posted May 12, 2022 Report Share Posted May 12, 2022 No, that one Venus cover - THAT was disrespecting Charles McPherson. This is just BAU Organissimo Thread Drift. Pretty sure that we all love Charles McPherson, and if I could get one of those Amphicars that could/would make the trip to Bern, yeah, I would do it. Damn straight I would. Would you?

Dub Modal Posted May 12, 2022 Report Share Posted May 12, 2022 (edited) If anyone hasn't yet gotten the two CDs he offers at his website, I highly recommend them. I put one of the tracks from Jazz Dance Suites in my BFT offering last year and it got some good reviews. The other one, a 1990 live date, is excellent as well.

No wonder he never again recorded for the label. I’d love to hear Charles McPherson in any venue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
