Remembering Charlie Watts

Another chance to hear Jamie chat to the Rolling Stones drummer, who has died aged 80.

As a tribute to the Rolling Stones drummer, who has died at the age of 80, another chance to hear his interview with Radio 2's Jamie Cullum.

Jamie meets up with Charlie in Paris to talk about The Rolling Stones, drumming and his lifelong passion for jazz.

Charlie remembers the artists he first heard when he was younger that inspired his style of drumming, from Howlin' Wolf to Earl Palmer, and the pair discuss the slick fashion of jazz musicians, who have influenced Charlie's own style.
