Anthology highlights the lesser-known jazz side of Charlie Watts, best known as the longtime drummer of The Rolling Stones. A devoted jazz enthusiast throughout his career, Watts regularly stepped away from rock to explore big band, swing, and traditional jazz influences through side projects and collaborations.
 
The collection brings together recordings that showcase his understated, tasteful drumming alongside rich brass arrangements and classic jazz instrumentation. Rather than the stadium-sized rock sound he’s famous for, these recordings reveal a musician deeply rooted in the subtle swing and elegance of the jazz tradition.
