Jeff "Tain" Watts

Yeah.

Um, actually, to go back to that thing with Rodney, that program with Rodney, one of the musicians there saw me, like, like, moving when I was playing, and I think I was tr- like, trying to impersonate, like, Jeff Tain Watts or something.

Sure.

Uh, I, I, I, I, I thought, like, if I moved like the cats then I would sound like them or some shit, you know?

The name of the cut is entitled, "They Say It's Wonderful." Branford Marsalis on tenor sax, Dianne Reeves on vocals, Joey Calderazzo on piano, Eric Revis on bass.

Justin Faulkner, instead of Jeff "Tain" Watts, is on drums.

Branford Marsalis, the brother of trumpeter Wynton Marsalis, both were members of the finishing school of jazz, Art Blakey and the Jazz Messengers, in the early 1980s.

Dianne Reeves had the pleasure of working with St. Louis' own, Cuondalet, Missouri's own Clark Terry.

If you're gonna play the piano on a Keith Jarrett album, you better bring it.

Uh, A Love Supreme, which is what most of this quartet, uh, Justin Faulkner on drums is, is on this album, but it was Tain Watts that did the Love Supreme, and it was still Joey, Eric, and Branford.

If you're gonna play A Love Supreme as a saxophone player, you better bring it, and that takes a lot of huevos rancheros to say that I'm gonna play a John Coltrane album song for song.

Same kinda deal here.
