Few musicians spent more time playing in the band of jazz giant Charles Mingus than alto saxophone great Charles McPherson.
And few have more insight about the towering bassist and composer, whose legacy extends to rock, hip-hop, the film world and beyond.
“Mingus’ legacy as an artist is that he was truly multidimensional,” said McPherson, 82, who will perform at Saturday’s Charles Mingus Centennial Concert in Nogales, Arizona.
