This "Anthology" by Charlie Watts is an affectionate retrospective and a reflection of how often Watts was able to exercise his jazz muscles between Rolling Stones commitments to create a tailor-made discography. Though he was a globally beloved hero within the greatest Rock band in the world, he deflected any compliment or comparison with his musical heroes from the world of Jazz; he considered himself their admirer, never their equal. The anthology includes a long essay by Paul Sexton that traces Charlie Watts' jazz career and the main albums covered by the collection.
