That site is subscription only, but here's the Rolling Stone article (https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-news/wah-wah-watson-guitarist-dead-746962/).  He played on a lot of albums.

Here's a video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kMn9jI0pZiI) we've had on the What Are You Watching thread with Watson, Herbie Hancock, Marcus Miller, Roy Hargrove (who also recently passed), Terri Lyne Carrington, and others.

Yeah, sorry about that. I forgot about the subscriber issue. Thanks for the redirect to the RS piece Dave.

Another legend leaves. I was always a fan of his playing. I did a feature in tribute to him on my radio programme last night along with Roy Hargrove.
