His touch, with its infinite variety of nuances, established him as a distinguished international performer destined to share his musical innovation with audiences all over the world. Born in the U.S. in 1955, Mr. Watson is a graduate of the Oberlin Conservatory, where he studied classical piano, composition, and jazz improvisation. As a composer-performer he has constantly stretched the cumbersome boundaries between written and improvised music. He lends spontaneity to composition, and discipline to improvisation – while perpetually developing a new and fiercely independent musical language. Known for his predilection for small groups of 2 to 4 musicians, Mr. Watson has collaborated with some of the most distinguished artists of his era: Paul Motian, Steve Lacy, Ray Anderson, John Lindberg, Joëlle Léandre, Albert Mangelsdorff, Daniel Humair and Linda Sharrock,Martial Solal among many others. He is also considered by many to be the ideal interpreter of Charles Ives’ solo piano music, a reputation acquired through an impressive array of recordings as well as numerous solo recitals throughout Europe.”
