Third Eye Centre, 11 Aug, (plus morning percussion workshop).
At the ioreiront oi jazz experimentation in Britain lorthe last 20 years. Trevor Watts has never had any trouble litting into any idiom. He once played bluesy sax with the likes of Sonny Boy Williamson and Rod Stewart. On the other hand, with John Stevens he was one at the founders of the seminal lree jazzing Spontaneous Music Ensemble. There have been spells in the post-bop complexities oi Stan Tracey’s Quartet and jazz-rock crossover with his own Amalgam.
But it is his evolution through the Eighties, and the world-wide iusion oi harmonic, melodic and especially rhythmic ideas into popular music and jazz that have produced some oi his most accessible work. His Moire Music and Drum Orchestra groups shared r.;usicians and have as their centrepiece the percussion oi Ghanaian Nana Tsiboe.
Inspired, as were a generation of Western music makers, by the Drummers oi Burundi, his Drum Orchestra is a collaborative exploration oi time and tone, an improvised World Music using second percussionist Koii Adu, another long-term associate Liam Genockley on drums, Ernest Mothle on bass, and ex-Steeleye Span violinist Peter Knight.
