Genre: Big Band Jazz
Places I remember: Record Fair in Palmerston North
Fab, and all the other pimply hyperboles: Flying Home
Gear costume: Robbins Nest
Active compensatory factors: When Charlie Watts decided to realise a dream and build a big band to play material from the swing era, he didn't mess around. He went huge! Thirty-three musicians!!

And it sounds like it on this album - recorded live in Fulham. This was his first solo album away from the Stones.
My favourite tracks are the full band versions of the classics like Stompin' At The Savoy, Lester Leaps In and the two listed above.
You can almost see the grin on Charlie's face!
Where do they all belong? A worthy addition to the Big Band sub-genre.
