Shelly Manne (Charlie Watts Jim Keltner Project) (LP 2436)

Charlie Watts Jim Keltner Project  The Charlie Watts/ Jim Keltner Project (CDR, 2000) ****  

GenreJazz 

Places I remember: Roger Marbeck made me a copy of this.

Fab, and all the other pimply hyperboles: Art Blakey

Gear costume: Shelly Manne

Active compensatory factors: An interesting experiment - to provide a musical portrait for many of Charlie's favourite jazz drummers - each track is named after one.

Each tune aims to recreate the vibe/mood presence of the source of inspiration. It's a terrific idea and the two drummers carry it off superbly.

It feels very modern curiously enough. 

Where do they all belong? A definite one off. Much like the two drummers themselves!
