Title: Charlie Watts - A Stone In Paris
Post by left shoe shuffle on Sep 3rd, 2010 at 8:58am

A Stone in Paris


LONDON (UK), Tuesday. On vacation from the Rolling Stones, drummer Charlie Watts, by the entrance to their lair, returns to his first love, accompanying a jazz band.
(LP/OLIVIER LEJEUNE)


Charlie Watts, Rolling Stones drummer, next week will give eight concerts of jazz at the Duc des Lombards in Paris.

EMMANUEL MAROLLES | 3/9/2010

He speaks. Only, for once. Charlie Watts is on vacation from the Rolling Stones. Or almost. The drummer and Dean's most famous rock band in the world will play next week in Paris, in the tiny Duc des Lombards, with The A, B, C & D of Boogie Woogie. A jazz band that allows it to return to his first love.

The opportunity to host the headquarters of the Stones in the heart of London. A small house which opens in limited our arrival. Admission is overrun with boxes. Toilets home medallions Mick Jagger and Keith Richards, and smells the coffee warm. Almost rock'n'roll therefore, despite the age of the captain of the day, who celebrates his 70th anniversary next year. Charlie Watts has received in English dandy charming, tongue-in-cheek.

How does it feel to return to France without the Rolling Stones?
CHARLIE WATTS. In fact, I go at least every two months in Paris with my wife. She even wanted to buy an apartment, but it did not take the time to look. So we play the tourists were visiting the Eiffel Tower at night ... And then we have a house in the Cevennes, near Nimes. It is less easy than London-Paris train.  If we go there, you must stay at least two weeks, yet my wife takes care of a farm with horses in England.

You know the Duc des Lombards, the club where you play?
No, I know the New Morning, where I did an interview and saw him play Roy Haynes. And then I remember my first visit to Paris, teenager, when I attended a concert of Bud Powell at a club in Saint-Germain-des-Pres. But I've never been invited to play with my jazz band in Paris. This time, it's not my training. I was just asked to hold the battery, and I said yes.

Why?
Actually, we do not ask me a lot ... And there is a pretty funny: with The A, B, C, D of Boogie Woogie, we play tracks from 1930-1940. We never repeat it without a net, we must follow the two pianists Axel and Ben, who are incredible.

It's the holidays from the Rolling Stones, right?
No ... It's certainly quieter. There is no glitter, fame, pressure. But for me it's the same thing, I sit and play.

Tired of it all sometimes?
No, it depends on how you approach. I am behind the two guitarists Keith and Ron and I let Mick dance! I'm not too exposed.

Yet you're the darling of the fans who cheer you long live ...
Really? But this is the forum where my wife and my daughter who did that ... I did not realize, and I especially do not know why. Last year, rumors said that I had left the group.

You are always a Stone?

There are people who called me to say: "Well then, you're gone." I replied "Yes, I'm not working today ... I left the band ... at the end of each tour. It was false information from Australia and with the Internet, it spread to England in a few hours ...

Talks about a new Stones tour for your 50-year career in 2012. You confirm?
For now, we discuss. They say that if we did something, it will be next year or two years. We're at an age where we can not project too far in time ... Celebrating our 50 years on stage, it would be incredible.

You're ready to play again then?
With the Stones, it's like the army, I am ready. It will restart when Mick and Keith get bored. For now, they have fun. So I wait. Keith will soon release his autobiography. This should be funny. But hey, I'm not interested to read the history of the Rolling Stones. I'm in!

Translated from Le Parisien


Charlie looks great, as always.

His humility and irrepressibly dry wit come through in any language...

"Vous êtes toujours un Stone ?"

"Toujours" can mean either "still" or "always". The translation above used the latter. Its quite evident it means 'Are you still a Stone?"

The text of the interview in French :

Il parle. Seul, pour une fois. Charlie Watts est en vacances des Rolling Stones. Ou presque. Le batteur et doyen du plus célèbre groupe de rock du monde viendra jouer la semaine prochaine à Paris, dans le minuscule Duc des Lombards, avec The A, B, C, D of Boogie Woogie*. Une formation jazz qui lui permet de revenir à ses premières amours.
L’occasion de nous accueillir dans le QG des Stones, en plein cœur de Londres. Une petite maison anonyme qui s’ouvre à notre arrivée. L’entrée est envahie de cartons. Des toilettes abritent des médaillons de Mick Jagger et Keith Richards, et le café sent le réchauffé. Presque rock’n’roll donc, malgré l’âge du capitaine du jour, qui fêtera ses 70 ans l’année prochaine. Charlie Watts nous a reçus en dandy anglais charmant et pince-sans-rire.

Cela fait quoi de revenir en France sans les Rolling Stones ?
CHARLIE WATTS. En fait, je me rends au moins tous les deux mois à Paris avec ma femme. Elle voulait même y acheter un appartement, mais on n’a pas pris le temps de chercher. Alors, on joue les touristes, on visite la tour Eiffel de nuit… Et puis, on a une maison dans les Cévennes, près de Nîmes. C’est moins facile que Londres-Paris en train. Si on y va, il faut rester au moins deux semaines ; or ma femme s’occupe d’une ferme avec des chevaux en Angleterre.

Vous connaissez le Duc des Lombards, le club où vous allez jouer ?
Non, je connais le New Morning, où j’ai fait une interview et vu jouer Roy Haynes. Et puis, je me souviens de ma première venue à Paris, adolescent, quand j’avais assisté à un concert de Bud Powell dans un club de Saint-Germain-des-Prés. Mais je n’ai jamais été invité à jouer avec mon groupe de jazz à Paris. Cette fois, ce n’est pas ma formation. On m’a juste demandé d’occuper la batterie, et j’ai dit oui.

Pourquoi ?
A vrai dire, on ne me sollicite pas beaucoup… Et là, c’est assez rigolo : avec The A, B, C, D of Boogie Woogie, on joue des morceaux des années 1930-1940. On ne répète jamais, c’est sans filet, il faut suivre les deux pianistes Axel et Ben, qui sont incroyables.

C’est les vacances par rapport au Rolling Stones, non ?
Non… C’est plus tranquille certes. Il n’y a pas les paillettes, la célébrité, la pression. Mais, pour moi, c’est la même chose, je m’assois et je joue.

Vous en avez marre parfois de tout cela ?
Non, tout dépend comment vous l’abordez. Moi, je suis derrière les deux guitaristes Keith et Ron (NDLR : Richards et Wood) et je laisse Mick (NDLR : Jagger) danser devant! Je ne suis pas trop exposé.

Pourtant, vous êtes le chouchou des fans qui vous ovationnent longuement en concert...
Ah bon? Mais c’est la tribune où sont ma femme et ma fille qui fait ça… Je ne me rends pas compte, et surtout je ne sais pas pourquoi. L’an passé, des rumeurs disaient que vous aviez quitté le groupe.

Vous êtes toujours un Stone ?
Il y a des gens qui m’appelaient pour me dire : « Ben alors, t’es parti. » Je répondais « Oui, je ne travaille pas aujourd’hui… » Je quitte le groupe… à chaque fin de tournée. C’est parti d’une fausse information en Australie et, avec Internet, cela s’est répandu en Angleterre en quelques heures…

On parle d’une nouvelle tournée des Stones pour vos 50 ans de carrière en 2012. Vous confirmez ?
Pour l’instant, on discute. On se dit que, si on fait quelque chose, ce sera l’année prochaine ou dans deux ans. On arrive à un âge où l’on ne peut pas se projeter trop loin dans le temps… Fêter nos 50 ans sur scène, ce serait incroyable.

Vous êtes prêt à rejouer alors ?
Avec les Stones, c’est comme à l’armée, je me tiens prêt. On redémarrera quand Mick et Keith s’ennuieront. Pour l’instant, ils s’amusent. Alors j’attends. Keith devrait bientôt sortir son autobiographie. Cela devrait être drôle. Mais bon, cela ne m’intéresse pas de lire l’histoire des Rolling Stones. Je suis dedans!

In Gazza-English (hopefully an improvement from the google translation)

He speaks. For a change. Charlie Watts is on holiday from the Rolling Stones. Sort of. The drummer and doyen of the most famous rock band in the world will play next week in Paris, in the tiny Duc des Lombards, with The A, B, C, D of Boogie Woogie *. A jazz band that allows him to return to his first love.

He takes the opportunity to host us at the headquarters of the Stones in the heart of London. A small house which is opened upon our arrival. The entrance is overrun with boxes. Toilets house awards for Mick Jagger and Keith Richards, and the coffee smells warm. Almost rock'n'roll therefore, despite the age of the man in question, who will celebrate his 70th birthday next year. Charlie Watts greets us - a charming English dandy with a deadpan sense of humour.

How does it feel to return to France without the Rolling Stones?

CHARLIE WATTS. Actually, I go at least every couple of months to Paris with my wife. She even wanted to buy an apartment, but we didn't have time to look for one. So we do the tourist thing, visiting the Eiffel Tower at night ... And then we have a house in the Cevennes, near Nimes. It is less easy than London-Paris by train. If we go there, you really have to stay at least two weeks, however my wife takes care of a farm with horses in England.

You know the Duc des Lombards, the club where you're going to be playing?

No, I know the New Morning, where I did an interview and saw Roy Haynes play. And then I remember my first visit to Paris, teenager, when I attended a concert of Bud Powell at a club in Saint-Germain-des-Pres. But I've never been invited to play with my jazz band in Paris. Even on this occasion, it's not my line-up. I was just asked to play drums, and I said yes.

Why?

Actually, I don't get asked a lot... And that's pretty funny: with The A, B, C, D of Boogie Woogie, we play tracks from the '30's and 40's. We never rehearse, so there's no safety net, we must follow the two pianists Axel and Ben, who are incredible.

It's the holidays from the Rolling Stones, right?

No ... It's certainly quieter. There is no glitter, fame, pressure. But for me it's the same thing, I sit and play.

Tired of it all sometimes?

No, it depends on how you approach it. I am behind the two guitarists Keith and Ron and I let Mick dance at the front! I'm not too exposed.

Yet you're the darling of the fans who give you a huge ovation (when performing) live ...

Really? But that was my wife and daughter doing that in the wings... I didn't notice, and most of all, I don't know why

Last year, there were rumors that you had left the band. Are you still a Stone?

There were people calling me, telling me, "So you've quit?"  I answered "Yes, I 'm not working today". I leave the band..at the end of every tour. So that led to some false information in Australia and, with the internet, it spread to England in a few hours ...

There's talk about a new Stones tour for their 50th anniversary in 2012. Can you confirm it?

At the moment, we're talking about it. We're telling ourselves that if we're going to do something, it has to be in the next year or two.  We're getting near an age where we can't think TOO far ahead.


So you're ready to start playing again?

It's like the army with the Stones, I keep myself ready. It'll restart when Mick and Keith get bored. They're keeping themselves amused at the moment. So I'm waiting. Keith should have his autobiography out soon. That should be funny. Well, I won't find it interesting to read the history of the Rolling Stones. I was there!

Emmanuel Marolle blogs about Tuesday's interview with Charlie:

Charlie Watts discovers the iPhone



Charlie Watts. I was a little scared. I had the memory of an encounter at the round table (ten European journalists face a star) where the drummer of the Rolling Stones had grumbled one or two vaguely incomprehensible answers behind a ubiquitous Mick Jagger. So when we 're offered a meeting with Charlie Watts on Tuesday in London for concerts next week with The A, B, C & D of Boogie Woogie at the Duc des Lombards, I don't know where to turn.

It's a charming old Englishman who received me, putting me immediately at ease.

Charlie Watts sits. I reach for my iPhone that's using Dictaphone to record the interviews. And he's fascinated.

"It's great this unit, I've never seen it before", he laughs. "The journalist before you had one too." I didn't dare explain in detail what an iPhone is. I'm content to share his enthusiasm.

"Uh, ah, yes, it rules, I use it all the time now."

"The sound is incredible. The quality of a CD, isn't it?" he adds.

Yes Mr Watts.

The result can be read this morning in Paris.

I'm not scared finally.

A Chuck and three-quarters!
One should probably surely sum-mice, therefore, that he's on-the-edge-of-being up for riding a stallion into the 2012 Olympic stadium while tapping a feverish Kent-country off-beat on his inner-thigh. And we all know what that means.  Shortly - or within a couple of months, at most, probably - the Stones will put their trousers on. No one will do it for them; they'll do it themselves. Their bodies will move - not in unison just yet, but at least they'll move, shortly. Already Matt Clifford has bought spare batteries, in case Mick pops round to skat delightfully while caressing an electronic organ. 'Cliff' Richards, putting aside a volume of 7th century Constaninopleanicistical history in his library to play the opening chords of 'Burdens Of Beast' is... as ever, as ready as ever. Lisa Fischer, at this very moment, is already pondering whether to depilate her legs in preparation.

Charlie Watts: "It went so fast ..."

Carlos Gomez - Le Journal du Dimanche

Charlie Watts, drummer for the Stones, Tuesday at the Duc des Lombards.



Charlie Watts in Paris September 7 to 11. (Reuters)


From the photos, he's easy to recognize among his cronies. He's the only one with white hair and a vague expression of the type that could suddenly burst into tears for no reason. A je ne sais quoi of melancholy in his posture, and also terribly English. This impression was confirmed visually, when we meet in his office in the old-fashioned populist district of Wimbledon - impeccable in his three-piece suit,  like a person from a novel by David Lodge. He wears thick leather comfortable shoes, a pinstriped purple shirt neatly buttoned, and something we thought forgotten, a tie clip.

If the 1960s have left their mark, some of that is thanks to Charlie Watts, 69 years old (two more than his pal Mick Jagger). Since 1963, he's been the drummer of the most tireless post-war band, responsible for part of the soundtrack of our lives: Ladies and gentlemen, the Rolling Stones!
Lately he's part of an exceptionally explosive quartet, formed by two pianists (Axel Zwingenberger and Ben Waters) and a bassist (his friend Dave Green). Together they play boogie-woogie, which reached its heyday in the 1940s, when all the big bands had boogie-woogie in their repertoire, even Count Basie. "It makes people dance. When you're a drummer, seeing that in a dance hall is the ultimate reward."

What makes a man nearly 70 years old, a member of a group of universal notoriety, and whose fortune is estimated at a minimum 80 million euros, commit to a series of concerts that will only see a few hundred fans of jazz in Paris? "Pleasure," he said with a coolness that could pass for a brownout. "Drumming is what I love most in the world."

The boogie-woogie genre is musically limited, right?
Not true. All the songs follow a fairly similar structure which comes from the blues and rock, influenced a lot with people like Fats Domino.  The interest is in the infectious energy that emerges when music is played by madmen like those I play with, believe me. You never know if the piece will last for two minutes or twenty-two.

At one time did you try to convince Mick Jagger to hire Miles Davis?
It was in the early 1980s when Miles returned to the forefront. We went to see him in his suite at the Ritz, New York, but then nothing. At the time, the only group that played plugged funk: Sly & the Family Stone. Then Mick wanted a saxophone and I told him the best. Sonny Rollins. With him, we made the album Tattoo You.

How did you come to jazz?
Blame it on my Uncle Charlie. He had 78s Claude Luther, Sydney Bechet ...

Your first drums?
I tinkered with the belly of an old banjo. After that my parents bought me a real set.

Your first trip to Paris in the late 1950s, was it for jazz?
I was, um, 18 years and I went to see the pianist Bud Powell at Saint-Germain-des-Pres, near the Two-Magots ... Pierre Michelot was on bass, Kenny Clarke on drums. I was a fan. I wanted to be like them ...

That was long before the Stones and you were still a graphic designer in an advertising agency ...
I played with various groups, I didn't stay with one in particular, I just did my job. It went so fast ...

Were your parents proud of you?
I don't know. They've never told me ... My mother even waited until I was 45 to finally admit how she had been disappointed when, twenty years earlier, I quit a well paid job (I went to an art school) for an uncertain career in music ... I couldn't believe my ears. That is, mothers ... Mick's mom was the same. It would have been less painful to see her son become a communist rather than a musician...

Your generation had many outstanding drummers. Keith Moon (The Who), John Bonham (Led Zeppelin)…
Keith was a show in himself, and when he died, The Who were never the same. Whereas, if I had gone too, the Stones would've had less trouble replacing me. John Bonham, he had that sound that made him recognizable among thousands. But best of all, it's always Ginger Baker [drummer of Cream of Eric Clapton].

And Ringo Starr (The Beatles)?
Like me, his playing is simple and totally devoted to enhancing good songs. Moreover, those on which he was asked to play were so well-constructed that the work was ready made. Simplicity at this level is also a quality.

When will you see the Stones?

I might see Mick as early as next month. Otherwise, it'll be around Christmas, I think… And we will begin working on new songs, as usual ...

Do you feel excited?
The problem is that, these days, life outside the group resumes it's natural place. For the benefit of the family especially. And when the band knocks at the door again, it pains me to lose that place. The balance is even more complex when you reach a certain age .... Imagining touring again frightens me, "Why Japan, three weeks? Are you sure, guys?" At that point, I'd rather stay at home ...

The compromise would be to do the studio work, but be replaced for the tour?
Uh ... no. With all their drawbacks, both aspects are important ...

Is there anything the Stones have prevented you from doing?
Probably. Seeing my daughter grow up. She's 42 now ...


The A, B, C & D of Boogie Woogie. From Sept. 7 to 11 (20h and 22h), the Duc des Lombards, 42 rue des Lombards, 75001 Paris.

On TSF Jazz Sebastien Vidal will present a special show live from the Duke, Wednesday, September 8 (19h), followed by a broadcast of the concert.


Translated from Le Journal du Dimanche


Another great interview.

The years may have extracted their toll, but it's clear that Charlie's still committed to his band...

Look forward to tomorrow's broadcast from Duc des Lombards.
