After decades in New York City, the veteran alto saxophonist and educator has moved back to Kansas City, near where he grew up. So, not surprisingly, his new album is entitled “Back Home in Kansas City,” a collection of swinging blues-informed jazz inspired by John Coltrane and Herbie Hancock. The record features drummer Victor Jones, trumpeter Jeremy Pelt, piano star Cyrus Chestnut, bassist Curtis Lundy, a Watson pal since college days at the University of Miami, and vocalist Carmen Lundy, the bassist’s sister.
