I'm happy for you because he has been using a turntablist which did turntable a lot of people off. He does much electric stuff around here. I think Watson and Roney are old buddies at least from them living around here for a while. I worked in a club in NJ (around 1980) when Bobby Watson came in with a band unannounced and asked if he and the band could play a few tunes. They did and ended up with a weekday night gig about 4 weeks after that for 1 night but was hired a couple of times after that for a night here and there. Interesting way to get a gig. Doesn't happen too often.If you have a chance look up Anat Cohen (sax) and her brother Avashai (trumpet) and her other brother Yuval (sax). She just came out with 2 new albums, Poetica and Noire. You might dig 'em.
Good luck,
bgs
