Taking their name from a small mountain town in the Rocky Mountains of Colorado To the residents of a small historic town in the Colorado Mountains, Dotsero is home. To some DOTSERO means “Something Unique” according to Ute Native American legend. To others, It means DOT-ZERO on the earliest geographical railroad maps , but to jazz fans worldwide DOTSERO means Smooth Jazz at its best, full of life energy and spontaneity that few artists in the genre have been able to match. . For jazz enthusiasts, Dotsero is one of the hottest contemporary jazz ensembles on today’s music scene. Combining jazz, pop, R&B and rock, the veteran contemporary jazz outfit creates a catchy, appealing sound and style completely their own. The Dotsero sound is strong blend of rock, fusion, light funk, soulful melodies and wild improvisation that allows the band to move into a number of musical veins. A no nonsense sax and guitar driven thrill ride of energy and excitement. Often featuring the tenor and soprano sax stylings of Stephen Watts, Dotsero has nailed a groove that has been labeled "hummable" by many and enjoyed by all. The group’s music reflects the styles and tastes of its leaders and core members, brothers David and Stephen Watts. Few bands have been able to stay together and focused for even a few years, let alone the over 18 years. Dotsero has been performing and recording for audiences far and wide, as much fun to watch as they are to listen to. The band has performed at major jazz festivals; Red Rocks Amphitheatre, JVC Winter Park Jazz Fest, Jazz Trax Catalina Island Jazz Fest and The Cancun Jazz Festival, among others. From Ala Carte Ala Park in San Francisco to West Palm Beach’s Sunfest, DOTSERO has crisscrossed the nation performing their exciting brand of jazz.
Hello Steve and Dave... Glad to hear that Dotsero is still going strong. I gotta give thanx to you guys for your encouragement and support back in the day. Steve you were truly a friend and mentor. I'll definitely look for the band the next time I'm in Denver.
A perfect night for me and my wife starts with dinner and margaritas at The Rio Grande, a leisurely walk down the 16th Street Mall, a couple of escalator rides up to the 3rd level at the Pavilions, and finally, a stroll into Jazz @ Jacks for an evening of awesome jazz by Dotsero. Love you guys and thanks for the add. As always, keep up the good work and we will look forward to our next excursion to Jazz @ Jacks.
Honored to be added to your friend list, and congratulations on your continued success. If you have time, please stop by our page and have a listen to some samples of our classic jazz style. Looking forward to hearing you in person!
Best wishes, Kathryn Shut /shoot/ Pianist, 'Lost Soul' Denver, CO
I really love you guys! It's good to see you here. I can remember the first time seeing you live. I swear, you're the ONLY band that I've seen that attracts kids like the Pied Piper!!! Also, thanks for signing my family's CDs - they will always be treasured...
Thanks Dotsero for adding me to your friends. Gonna make it up to Jazz @ Jack's and check out a show sometime. You guys have a killer bass player. Marvin I think is his name. You guys sound great. Keep in touch.
