Rolling Stones drummer Charlie Watts returns to his jazz roots with the Danish Radio Big Band on this album, recorded live in 2010. Watts and the band rehearsed for four days before playing a concert at the newly opened Danish Radio Concert Hall in Copenhagen which was taped for broadcast by Danish National Radio. After several years, a souvenir of that historic gig is now available. Watts is one of the great ambassadors of jazz and while every jazz lover will relish the performance, his involvement may bring jazz to the attention of some Stones fans who are not even sure if they like jazz.Should you need convincing that the Rolling Stones drummer is also a serious jazz musician, spend some time with these seven tracks, which find him quite at home in some very fast company indeed. Jamming is one thing; finding oneself in the midst of one of Europe’s top jazz orchestras is something else, and Charlie Watts handles it with aplomb. The music, arranged and conducted by trumpeter and fellow Brit Gerard Presencer, is taken from a live concert. Naturally, there are three Stones numbers, heavily disguised, including a terrific Paint It Black, featuring Presencer. The big showpiece, though, is Watts’s Elvin Suite, climaxed by his duet with drummer Søren Frost.
