JEFF ‘TAIN’ WATTS TRIO

Drummer/componist Jeff ‘Tain’ Watts is anything but a traditional timekeeper; he continuously surprises with breathtakingly varied drum patterns. After his intensive collaborations with Wynton and Bradford Marsalis, Watts became one of the most in-demand drummers in contemporary jazz. His 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).
