NPRBobby Watson: On Jazz And BBQ toggle caption courtesy of the artist When alto saxophonist Bobby Watson returned to Kansas City, it was a big deal. Bobby Watson: On Jazz And BBQ 4:29 "Beef On Bun" from Bobby Watson and The UMKC Conservatory of Music and Dance Concert Jazz Orchestra, The Gates BBQ Suite. BW: So that one's like you know you get off work and you wanna swing by Gates and get. MK: In addition to Ellington, The Gates BBQ Suite also sounds very informed by Kansas City's iconic big bands of the past: Jay McShann, Bennie Moten and Count Basie and all that. And you know, it's serious music, we took a lot of rehearsals, but the total effect is hopefully each piece is a sound picture of what the title's saying: "Heavy On The Sauce" sounds like that, a really saucy tune.
