Stompin' At The Savoy

About

Jeff "Tain" Watts's drums solo closes out the improvised statements on this recording, following Harry Connick Jr.'s piano. Spanning one chorus of the 32-bar AABA form at a bright 267 BPM with a swing feel in C, the solo runs approximately 28 seconds. Watts, one of the most celebrated drummers in contemporary jazz known for his work with both Wynton and Branford Marsalis, contributes a single chorus of drum improvisation at an even faster tempo of 267 beats per minute that crackles with explosive energy and rhythmic sophistication. Jeff "Tain" Watts was 28 to 29 years old at the time of this 1989 recording.
