Charles McPherson Professions : Record Producer Born : July 24, 1939 Browse All Authors Top 3 quotes by Charles McPherson I met the pianist Barry Harris when I was about fifteen. He would show me changes, which I had no idea existed. I knew about scales, but I didn't think about chords. I was fortunate in that he lived right around the corner so I'd be at his house almost every day and he showed me about playing melodies over chords. After about three years, I could play some gigs.

Some of the older guys were Paul Chambers, Doug Watkins and Louis Hayes Charles McPherson play years thinking I bought a tenor but I haven't dedicated the time to it, plus I haven't found a mouthpiece that I like as of yet.

After doing it for the alto, I just haven't felt like looking for any more mouthpieces. You play both, right? Charles McPherson lasts play years Good food, good vibes. Keep up the good work.
