R.I.P. Charlie Watts

[Ted]

Not a rock drummer, a jazz drummer really, and that's why the Stones swung like the Basie band!! Such a lovely man.

...a misfit among misfits, a gentleman lost at sea with hungry pirates, a cool jazz mind in the world's most insatiable rock-and-roll troupe. He dressed nicely, he performed with excellent posture, and he struck his drums with a politesse that somehow made the music of the Rolling Stones feel exponentially rude. He knew what was essential to his band's singular surge-and-swing, so that's what he did.
