Jeff Watts is the ''people's composer.'' Nothing musically ''dark'' here, rather people friendly, engaging, compelling, etc. Watts's jazz drumming range of color is prodigious in his sphere of sound registration. He delivers his articulation with great resonance. His tension, rhythmic apexes, anticipation, et al all create 'life' in his music, keeping his artistry in a constant viable pulsation. He creates veritable terraces of sound, thematic motifs & arabesques that are quite interesting. All in all, watch for clarity & steadiness of tempo in his performance, plus an attendant exactitude in his rhythmic output. With Watt's amazing sense of proportion & balance, his talents & compositional craft will have to be reckoned with now in real time as well as in the future.
