| Artist of the Month | Bobby Watson  A renowned alto saxophonist, composer, producer, and educator, the rather accomplished Bobby Watson continues to be an influential figure in jazz. Born in Kansas City, Kansas, Watson attended the renowned jazz performance program at the University of Miami. Inclined to pursue his musical callings further, he then moved to New York City, a jazz capitol, in 1975 and began working as a musical director for Art Blakey's Jazz Messengers until 1981. Following this, Watson turned his focus to studio performing and touring, thus placing him in high demand with many other popular musical artists, such as Louis Hayes, Max Roach, Branford Marsalis, Sam Rivers, Joe Williams, Dianne Reeves, and Carlos Santana to name a few.
