Bobby Watson

On "Made in America", saxophonist and composer Bobby Watson does his part to call attention to some vital but largely unappreciated black pioneers in a variety of fields, from politics to pop culture, science to sports. The album offers a musical portrait gallery of nine influential African-Americans. Listeners may be familiar with some like Sammy Davis, Jr., Grant Green, Butterfly McQueen and Madam C.J. Walker among others.
