Saw him perform a few years ago. The Stones were in town (Detroit) and the band's sax player who's from Michigan was performing the night before the Stones concert. Charlie sat in on a couple numbers. He was an amazingly tasteful jazz drummer. He only played rock to pay the bills. Jazz was his first love.

If you want to hear a great album, check out the "Charley Watts Big Band, Live at Ronny Scott's."
