Charlie Watts a fost un toboșar britanic, membru al trupei The Rolling Stones timp de peste cincizeci de ani. În afara scenei rock, Watts s-a dedicat jazzului — a condus propriul ansamblu și a lansat mai multe albume de jazz sub propriul nume. A decedat în august 2021 la Londra.
Compilația Anthology pe 2CD reunește înregistrări solo care documentează dragostea lui Watts pentru muzica jazz. Primul disc conține înregistrări live de la Fulham Town Hall (1986) și Ronnie Scott's din Birmingham (1991), înregistrări de studio cu Charlie Watts Quintet, la care participă Gerard Presencer (trompetă) și Evan Parker (saxofon). Al doilea disc include un concert cu The Charlie Watts Tentet de la Ronnie Scott's din Londra (2001) și înregistrări cu toboșarul Jim Keltner. Printre piese găsim standarde de jazz precum Stompin' at The Savoy, Lover Man, Tin Tin Deo sau Take the „A” Train.
