One of the many extra activities from Charlie Watts out of the Rolling Stones has been to nourish his love for Jazz music which stems from before he actually joined the band. Back in 1964 he published a small book Ode to a High Flying Bird that testimonies his love for Charlie Parker. In 1991 the book was reprinted together with a set of music that described the great saxophone player life and to promote it Charlie Watts assembled his Quintet and traveled the world., even performing for 10 days in Brazil in 92. This recording comes from his 4 days-7 shows that were played at the Aoyama Spiral Hall in Tokyo. Contrary to other dates all these concerts have been available for collectors as excellent audience tapes, but this Empress Valley release presents the last concert from September 17^th as soundboard and this justifies this release. Accompanied by old friend Dave Green on upright bass, Gerald Presencer on trumpet, Peter King on sax and Brian Lemon on piano with the presence of fellow Stones back vocalist Bernard Fowler who reads parts of the stories; there is also the Trybeat string section which plays on Terra de Pajaro and Going,Going, Gone.

The cover shot of Charlie won an award, it was taken by Jill Furmanovsky for the Sunday Times with the drummer so pleased by it to send a thank you note to the photographer. This release is a great recording that presents the unique blend of bebop sounds which will appeal to the lovers of the genre much more than to the casual Stones aficionado and although there exist a 1992 Live at   Ronnie Scott live album recorded in London, is certainly welcomed by collectors.
