After enjoying the music on Friday afternoon, DH and I decided to return for a longer period on Saturday. Bobby Watson, the saxaphonist you see above sat in for a few sets on Friday and is an obvious local favorite among jazz aficionados so we began our jazz fest by arriving at 4 pm to hear Bobby's group. To hear some of his music and read his bio, click here. Bobby started his career with a turn in Art Blakey's Jazz Messengers from 1977-1981. He has produced nearly 30 albums as a bandleader and appears on over 100 recordings (Credit: Jazz Festival program).

ReplyDeleteCool portrait!
ReplyDeleteImpressive career, and nice shots.
ReplyDeleteTwo of these musicians look like they are suffering for their music. The third looks like he's riding high on it.
ReplyDeleteNice captures.
I went to club in SF in 1965 to listen to Art Blakey. Obviously well before Bobby Watson joined. He must be good to have been part of the Jazz Messengers!
ReplyDeleteThis must have been a very entertaining event.
