Jazz: The Music of Unemployment: Watts Ensemble [del.icio.us]
What follows is an email interview with Brian Watson, founder of / composer for the Watts Ensemble. Never heard of them? How's this? (The tune is called "Funny Cigarettes.") Based in LA, and supposedly created on a dare, Watts is an impossible, outlandish creature after my own heart, a kindred spirit if ever I met one. The group recently released their first album, Two Suites for Crime & Time. N.B.: I recommend reading the Chris Ziegler interview over at L.A. Record before reading this one.Originally posted by pbailey68 from paulbailey.us (beta), ReBlogged by newmusicrebloggers on Aug 21, 2009 at 11:10 PM
