Two-times Grammy Award winner Ernie Watts may not be the most famous sax player on the musical scene today, but he certainly may be the most versatile and the most prolific. In a diverse career that has spanned some 25 years, he has been featured on over 200 recordings by artists ranging from Frank Zappa to Thelonious Monk. He also joined The Rolling Stones on stage for their 1981 U.S. tour, participating in the CD and film "Let's Spend the Night Together."
His recordings for JVC Music have been some of the finest of his extensive career. For these recordings, he surrounded himself with some of his favorite players, Jack Dejohnette, Arturo Sandoval, Kenny Baron and Marc Whitfield.
