Celebrate L.A.’s finest jazz musicians with Jazz at LACMA, presented Friday evenings from May through October. This week, join us for a concert with Ernie Watts Quartet.
Two-time Grammy Award winner Ernie Watts is one of the most versatile and prolific saxophone players in music. It has been more than 55 years since he first picked up a saxophone, going on to perform with such groups as Buddy Rich Big Band, Oliver Nelson Big Band, Thelonious Monk, the Tonight Show Band, Quartet West, and Pat Metheny’s Special Quartet. Watts has been featured on over 1,500 recordings by artists ranging from Cannonball Adderley to Frank Zappa, always exhibiting his unforgettable trademark sound.
