Lee Waterman

Lee Waterman - Guitarist, Composer, Producer Lee is originally from New York, where his early interest in music was nurtured by his grandmother, a locally prominent classical pianist. At the age of nine he studied drums and later played in the school band. In his late teens, Lee took up guitar and Latin percussion. For the next several years he studied jazz guitar and music theory with internationally known guitarist and author, Warren Nunes. This strong foundation in the classic jazz styles plus the multicultural influences of percussion studies forged his eclectic compositional style. Among his credits, Lee has led several Bay-Area based combos throughout the last three decades, has performed with sax great John Handy, Vocalist Mark Murphy, and Narada Michael Walden and opened for many headliners, including Tito Puente and Pancho Sanchez.
