This man played an evening concert at VIU (a few years ago) and was kind enough to stay for the next day and share his wisdom with students (also played with a few best ones). Charming, elegant, humble and killer tenor sax player...
One of the modern greats of the horn. His tenure as Tonight Show musician probably pegged him as a tv show player while he could probably have been more popular as a touring artist along with Stanley, Mike Brecker, Sonny Rollins and similar contemporaries. We have to make choices in life.
Wow! What can you say about Ernie Watts here? All that comes to mind is"awesome" in the true sense of the word: I'm amost blown away, litterly blown away! Wow!
*@ Douglas Nimtz* ````````````````````````````` What can one say about Ernie Watts besides "awesome" is: "humble". I had the honour and pleasure to have just a brief conversation with him some years ago and this is what came first to me (despite his undeniable greatness as *tenor giant of modern times*).
The mixer didn't bring up my Dad's mike properly but Ernie still shreds right through, as always, hahaha. I know that my old man is truly the man, so to speak...
All these top notch musicians and the featured great sax Ernie Watts gets buried in the mix! Wow!!
