Late Lunch with Out to Lunch
Polemic, politics, mouth jazz and spontaneous music with Ben Watson. This week: OTL welcomes saxophonist Trevor Watts.

These were the Joseph Holbrooke Trio in Sheffield and John Stevens' Spontaneous Music Ensemble in London. Having played with Stevens in Germany in the RAF, Watts was integral to the SME. So the AMM All-Stars are delighted that Watts wants to play with them: Peter Baxter, drums; Paul Shearsmith, trumpet; Iris Watson, hand drum; Blushin' Rollin' Red, Theremin; OTL, mouthnoise, soundfiles, piano.
