He played with our symphony. He gave me chills when he played. He would sit there so in love with what he was doing and at the same time he looked at every one of us and held our gaze as long as we could go without checking back with our parts. I have played with so many famous musicians, he will always be my favorite (or maybe Brubeck) OK both. A kind and giving musician and apparently a kind person.

Bright, I think any of us after seeing him or playing with him could ever get over the experience. RIP Mr. Watts, I will never forget the stunning opportunity I had to play with you. It was an absolute honor AND a lot of fun.

Beethoven piano concerto #5 The Emperor
