She's Gone
Is Bobby Watson Kansas City's best saxophonist since Charlie Parker? He's certainly received more acclaim than anyone since Bird's death. On this out-of-print Italian solo album from 1993, Watson takes on "Donna Lee," a piece associated with Parker. His tone has since become deeper and huskier. Bobby tells me it's simply because he has a different horn. He currently heads the University of Missouri-Kansas City jazz studies program.
