No Question About It Watson, Robert Quintet / HL00000670 click for RealAudio clip Recorded by BOBBY WATSON & HORIZON on NO QUESTION ABOUT IT Blue Note: CDP 7 90262 / Recorded May 1, 1988  Tempo Uptempo swing Arrangement Difficulty medium Solo Difficulty medium More swinging arrangements by BOBBY WATSON are available from this recording of Watson's Horizon group, featuring Victor Lewis, Roy Hargrove, and Curtis Lundy, all of whom also have arrangements available in this catalog. The group also recorded a composition by Bobby's wife Pamela, a pianist, vocalist and composer (And Then Again). QUINTET INSTRUMENTATION Front Line: B-flat, E-flat, C treble clef, C bass clef Rhythm Section: Piano, Bass, Drums, Guitar FULL SCORE This is a great chart to challenge a group's uptempo chops. The melody lies well on most any instrument. SOLOS: The changes, which are challenging at the recorded tempo, but certainly feasible for a serious jazz player, feature fast-moving II-Vs that occasionally alternate with single chords of longer duration that allow for more development of one key area before moving on. BOBBY WATSON (b. 1953). One of the most gifted composers and arrangers in Jazz today, versatile alto-saxophonist Bobby Watson has recorded his compositions on more than 30 albums in diverse settings from sax quartets as a member of the 29th Street Saxophone Quartet, to combos with his group Horizon, to his "Tailor Made" big band. After receiving his degree in music theory and composition from the University of Miami, Bobby completed his jazz education in the late '70s as a member of Art Blakey's Jazz Messengers where he served as music director for 2 years in a group that included Wynton Marsalis, James Williams, Billy Pierce and Charles Fambrough. A recipient of an NEA grant for composition and a frequent clinician across the country, Bobby's works such as Appointment In Milano, Wheel Within A Wheel, Conservation and Beatitudes have been recorded by Blakey, Wynton Marsalis, Kevin Mahogany, T.S. Monk and others.
