    What is it exactly about Ernie Watts ? There are and have been so many great saxophonists .. but Ernie just hits a certain spot ... his tone ; his phrasing ; his way of building a solo ; the way he blends his phenomenal technical skill with the most gorgeous sense of melody ; the way he navigates changes ... & then there is something else that I cant define ... there is a feeling when he plays .... I just love Ernie !

    • @eugeneburns6124
      @eugeneburns6124 Před 5 lety +2

      Agreed. And an absolute gentleman too. When he cams to Dublin Ireland a couple of years ago the show went on about 40 minute over schedule. The band, Ernie and the audience were just loving it. After the show he just hung out and was so down to earth and friendly. When my son told him he was a sax player he was just so full of encouragement. In at least 40 years attending shows this was at the top for me.

Lee Ritenour really comes "out of his shell" at this point in his career. Previously, he was purely a Jazz artist but evolves into an all around phenomenon.
    Ritenour's live performances are truly a highlight of any jazz enthusiast's playlist.

    In the past, I made some comments about Gary Novak (drums) being less than average for a Lee Ritenour band. I stand corrected. After watching the entire concert and a few other videos, Gary lives up to his reputation. Dude has chops, he just picks his spots and let it go, love it. And Abe...forget it man. He is simply insane...a drummers dream...always in the pocket.
