George W. Botts Sr.

Mr. George Botts was a fantastic cat!! He always encouraged the best from you. He was main the reason I recorded "Candy". We had performed together at Westminster church many years ago and the rest is history.
Always sharp and clean both personality and professionally! My best memory is the long western coat with the cowboy hat. (Gunslinger...tenor style!!!) A true hitter!
Thank-you for everything you shared with me. I love you and safe travels.

Mr. Botts was a true professional in his music career and a true gentleman in every sense of the word at all times.

George Botts was an outstanding musician. He will truly be missed. I had the pleasure of hearing him play at Westminister church.

As a new vocalist in the DC area I was flattered when Mr Botts agreed to do a gig with me in the early 80's. To be working with such a fine artist early in my career was exciting. What struck me at that time and through all these years was his gentle spirit. The dictionary should have a picture of Mr George Botts next to the word Gentleman. Mr Botts played solos that gave new meaning to ballads.

To the Botts family. I met Mr. Botts at Westminster church while working with Jazztimes Magazine. I had the opportunity to hear many great saxophone players and I always thought of Mr. Botts (George) as one of the very best. I know he will get first chair in the big band. Thanks George, I will keep the Botts family in my prayers.

George Botts was a fantastic musician and the personification of class.

George I will never forget your warm personality,you were always the perfect gentleman and one of the most fantastic saxophonist in our area. Thanks for the memories.

I was sadden to hear of Mr. Botts passing. He and his music will be missed in his neighborhood. My heart goes out to Karona and Junior. The entire family will be in my prayers.
