Ernie Watts Quartet Last Call !!!

 

Basitours
LAST CALL  !!!


"What comes through is Watts' essential lyricism. There are some players with Ernie Watts' total command of an instrument who focus more on showing their technical prowess than on creating music. They equate showers of notes with saying something. But Watts is always saying something - as musicians put it - through that mastery of his horn. Never in the least tentative, his authority comes through from note one. And he swings like a tidal wave." Nat Hentoff

"Watts plays in a virtuosic post-Coltrane style, with a fine, distinctive tone and an expansive technique that permits him to generate long, cleanly articulated lines that dance along confidently even at challenging tempos..."~ Jazz Times Magazine

Flying Dolphin (distributed by Burnside Distribution Corp.) begins a new chapter for the artist’s creative expression. "I've been touring and recording for over 30 years in every kind of musical setting. I've reached a place in my life and careerwhere I need to make music on my terms. Starting my own label provided me with a new sense of freedom."  ~ read more
