Bobby Watson

Bobby Watson grew up in Lawrence, Kansas and remembers dreaming of buying a new saxophone at the local music store.  An early gig with drummer Art Blakey began Bobby on his career as a noted jazz musician, which has included forming his own award winning band and playing with such artists as Joe Williams and Carlos Santana. As a music educator, Bobby taught at William Paterson University, the Thelonious Monk Institute's high school outreach program and the Manhattan School of Music.
