Charlie Watts "Anthology" is an affectionate retrospective and a reflection of just how frequently Watts was able to exercise his jazz muscles between Rolling Stones commitments to create a bespoke discography of his own. Including three unreleased tracks. The names of Charlie's jazz heroes fell from his lips like a superfan turning the pages of a personal scrapbook. Charlie Parker, Gerry Mulligan, Chico Hamilton, Dave Green, Stan Tracey, Peter King, Courtney Pine, Gail Thompson, Brian Lemon, Gerard Presencer, the Red Rodney group, and collaborator Jim Keltner. He knew every player, every session, every album, and every outfit they wore on the cover, and he spoke about them with deep and genuine reverence. He may have been a globally loved hero in the biggest band in the world, but he swatted away any compliment or comparison with his musical favorites. He counted himself as their admirer, never they are equal. The Anthology includes an extended essay by Paul Sexton which documents Charlie Watt's jazz career and the essential albums covered in the collection.
