5.0 out of 5 stars Inspiring and lovable, October 5, 2002
By  Karim (San Diego, CA USA)
This review is from: Tears of Joy (Audio CD)

This music has an essence that gets deep within you soul and brings out emotions that you were not aware you were capable of feeling. My brother introduced me to these music and I became an immediate fan, these guys are remarkable!. Some pieces, like Tears of Joy and Romance are masterpieces, the best music I have ever heard and felt in this genre. I highly recommend this album to anyone who enjoys great music and especially for those of us who love music for what is capable of making you feel. Even a hard man like myself, who cries for nothing, not even the loss of a loved one, shed a tear of two when I "feel" excellent pieces of music.  Inspiring.

Malcolm in the News…


"... a sprightly harlequin swirling around the stage whilst feverishly bowing his instrument.  Malcolm Watson brings stage life to the violin in the same way Jethro Tull's Ian Anderson does the flute..."  E. Reiner, On Stage Magazine

"...truly, all of Watson's music is exquisite, like the greatest angels dancing with one's soul and leading it into the most delicate, memorable, timeless and ecstatic peaks anyone could ever imagine.  Imagine that!..."  Reviews & More

Watson delights audiences by dancing to his performance. He leaps and whirls ecstatically, in his bare feet, while playing powerful and passionate emotional interpretations of both classic and jazz on his amplified violin.  More….

Malcolm Watson walks his own musical path — sans shoes

The Union, Grass Valley, CA

 

Trained as a serious classical violinist at the Royal Academy of Music in London, Malcolm Watson quite literally kicked his shoes off and went his own way musically.

Known internationally as the “barefoot violinist,” the 64-year-old Watson performs with whimsical humor and deep passion. He dances around the stage in his bare feet and a white tuxedo playing a “classical crossover” of jazz, folk, rock and blues.

Let the music take you away. From the first time I heard (Malcolm) Watson & (Jeffery) Edge on the Pearl Street Mall in Boulder, Colorado in 1991 I was hooked on this classical/jazz fusion music. One listen and you'll buy all of their cd's.


5.0 out of 5 stars This is a feel good CD, August 24, 2004

This review is from: Tears of Joy (Audio CD)
I purchased this CD from the artistd themselves at the Rochester Hills, Michigan, Arts and Apples Festival. Everytime I listen to it is if they are both in front of me playing live and it brings a smile to my face. You can't help tap your toes to this wonderful collection of music. The emotion that goes into each piece can really be heard coming out of your speakers. I recommend all of their albums.

Jeffrey Edge was a musician with the ability to transcend reality's borders and touch the very soul with his music. Although Jeffrey is no longer with us, I was one of the lucky few who knew him. Although one can speak volumes about Jeffrey the person, his music, accompanied by Malcolm Watson, speaks louder than i ever could. As is the philosophy behind the title track, it is better to shed "tears of joy" while reflecting upon what once was rather than crying over the loss. I highly recommend this album as its raw emotion is unparalleled by any other i have ever heard. The world is a better place for knowing the genius of Watson and Edge.

"...WATSON DOES NOT PLAY NOTES. HE PLAYS FEELINGS..." J.

...You have got me off Prozac and other drugs...my insomnia is gone...every night I go to sleep with your wonderful freeing music..." D.M. Tuscon AZ
