  • Eric Watson (* 5. Juli 1955) ist ein US-amerikanischer Jazzpianist. Nach dem Studium am "Oberlin College" (klassisches Piano, Komposition und Jazz-Improvisation) ging Watson als Begleiter einer Dance-Company nach Paris. 1982 entstand bereits ein Trioalbum mit Paul Motian und Ed Schuller („Conspiracy“), bald darauf zwei Soloalben. In dieser Zeit begann auch die lange und fruchtbare Zusammenarbeit mit dem Bassisten John Lindberg. Ihr Duo wurde später mit Albert Mangelsdorff und Ed Thigpen zum Trio und Quartett erweitert. Watson spielte auch Duos mit Steve Lacy, mit Linda Sharrock und mit Joëlle Léandre (Palimpseste, 1991) ein. Aus einem Trio mit Mark Dresser und Ed Thigpen („Silent Hearts“, 1998) heraus entwickelte sich das "Full Metal Quartets" (1999/2000) mit dem Saxophonisten Bennie Walla (de)
