About Bobby Watson

Hometown

Lawrence, KS, United States

Born

August 23, 1953

Genre

Jazz

This young, fiery, and gifted alto saxophonist was first brought into the spotlight by Art Blakey, when Blakey introduced him as the newest member of the Jazz Messengers in 1977. Bobby Watson has followed through on his promise with a string of heartfelt contemporary jazz records, mostly done in a classic quartet or quintet format (the latter featuring Terell Stafford on trumpet), as well as with a pair of rewarding forays into big band composition.

Bobby Watson has also released music as a member of The Savoy Sultans, Rufus, Bobby Watson & Horizon, and Art Blakey & The Jazz Messengers.
