Robin Watters

About Me

I am heavily influenced by 1940's Big Band swing. New Orleans both traditional and modern, along with Chicago style Rhythm 'n' Blues. My favourite drummers start with Warren Baby Dodds and then on to Gene Krupa, Louis Belsen, Art Blakey, Elvin Jones, Ginger Baker and Billy Cobham. I am currently fusing Swing and Rhythm 'n' Blues in the Robin Watters Jazz and Blues Band, this is run alongside my other band The Robin Watters New Orleans Orchestra, which blends New Orleans & Blues Funk Both Bands are active on the European Jazz scene.
