Jacksonville, FL - Almost as sure a bet as the incoming tide, Joe Watts sets up at Metro Park, to breathe a little life into Jacksonville mornings.
"It's kinda my meditation, it sets up my entire day," the Jazz artist said. "Everything is awakening, there's a lot of energy in the morning."
Watts could bring his keyboard, or a trumpet. Instead, his choice of instrument to get the day started: his trombone. "You don't see that too often," he said, laughing.
His spot under the overpass has the perfect acoustics, and the perfect neighbor, for a hardcore Jags fan. EverBank Field is within earshot of where he sets up.
"Some of the guys wave as they come in while I play," he said. Watts grew up in Jacksonville, went to Ribault High, and studied music at FAMU and FSU.
