Ernie Watts Quartet (USA/DE)
Two-time Grammy award-winner Ernie Watts is one of the most prolific saxophone players in history.
He has spent his career performing in the far corners of the world, sharing his music with various cultures and meeting fellow musicians along the way.
While on tour in the mid-‘90s, Watts had the opportunity to play with pianist Christof Saenger and a bond was created. After that meeting, Watts formed a quartet with Saenger at its heart.
This group has consistently toured Europe on a semi-annual basis and has developed a fan base of jazz aficionados which continues to expand.
With Rudi Engel on acoustic bass and Heinrich Koebberling on drums, these four musicians have merged into a cohesive unit, creating a solid platform for Watts’ creative force.
First act features exceptional guitarists James Sherlock and Stephen Magnusson.
Duration: 2hrs
