In New York City he appears at rooms like Bar Bayeux, where he has joined bassist Stephan Crump and saxophonist Darius Jones on programs that stretch across jazz and open forms. McPherson’s playing favors structure without rigidity, using time as a flexible frame rather than a fixed grid. He is often heard in collaborative settings, shaping the music from inside the ensemble rather than above it.
