Ernie Watts has built an enviable musical resume. The sax player was a key member of Charlie Haden's Quartet West, played with the Tonight Show band for 20 years, and lent his jazz expertise to the rock music of the Rolling Stones and Frank Zappa's band. Watts is a two-time Grammy winner and well-respected artist across the musical spectrum, but his heart belongs to the jazz that raised him. John Coltrane and Charlie Parker live on though Watts' dynamic, passionate sound that can fill a room and break your heart. Watts is a good friend to Seattle jazz fans and musicians alike, working often with his friend and Seattle jazz icon, pianist Marc Seales, who is featured in this remarkable live performance at the Ballard Jazz Festival.

Every time I hear Ernie Watts it is as though he is redefining how to play the sax in a quartet. the man in phenomenal. The drummer has been listening to De Johnette.

Ernie is one of the finest players still alive, either on alto or tenor. Articulation, full sound, pitch, technique, phrase ideas, accurate rhythm. Plays any style. Pop jazz etc Also a composer and arranger. A very complete artist 🙏🏽

Ernie Watts is a great player! I saw him play a few times and he always played with imagination and passion. I like to play differently sound-wise but his sound is beautiful, no doubt!

ERNIE est certainement le meilleur représentant du saxophone en 2020, digne successeur à COLTRANE dans le même style bebop moderne, tout à fait audible et structuré, sur des harmonies ne déroutant pas les meilleurs jazzmen mais laissant les imaginations des mélomanes aller dans leurs inventions, comme c'est la tradition depuis Armstrong ou Parker. Il n'est en rien apparenté avec une musique de Zappa, ou autres, plus récents, créateurs dans un style alliant l'imprévu et le sordide comme on entend parfois en contemporain-free --

I know it's blasphemy but I like him better than Coltrane. And that pianist, holy smokes!

@peedub 2 жыл бұрын

it's not blasphemy. You like who you like. I love Coltrane, but Joe Henderson's music speaks to me more in most cases. Ernie is flat out amazing though. A superb saxophonist.
