Anyone wanting to hear exactly how wonderful should visit Soho’s Pizza Express jazz club on Saturday, as the band has a gig there. Watts reckons the club, in Dean Street, is “a really nice room, it’s a great sound in there and you can hear everything. It’s like Ronnie Scott’s, that’s another nice room to play, although it used to be a musicians’ hang out and it isn’t that any more.” If his minders weren’t loitering to shunt him between appointments – we’re sitting in the Langham hotel so Charlie can nip across the road to the BBC to do radio interviews – he’d probably stay and chat about music all day. Jazz music, preferably. In 1964, Watts, who worked as a graphic designer before his musical career took off, drew a cartoon tribute to saxophonist Charlie Parker, which he called Ode To A High Flying Bird.
