Noble ``Thin Man'' Watts (February 17, 1926 -- August 28, 2004) was an American blues, jump blues and rhythm and blues saxophonist. He primarily played tenor saxophone. Allmusic journalist Bill Dahl considered Watts ``one of the most incendiary ... fire-breathing tenor sax honkers'' of the 1950s. Born in DeLand, Florida, Watts studied violin and trumpet in his youth, later switching to sax.
