JEFF ‘TAIN’ WATTS QUARTET
Marcus Strickland-sax, Lawrence Fields-piano, Chris Smith-bass, Jeff ‘Tain’ Watts-drums
Jeff ‘Tain’ Watts became one of the most in-demand drummers in contemporary jazz after his intensive collaborations with Wynton and Bradford Marsalis. Watts’ own quintet made its international debut at the Bimhuis in 2007. ‘Like such jazz drum icons as Art Blakey, Max Roach, Elvin Jones, Tony Williams and Jack DeJohnette before him, Watts is in constant motion’ (Jazz Times). Bimhuiscard holders are required to pay an € 2 surcharge.
