COOL STRUTTIN'
A great album of original material from blues guitarist Chris Watson
Featuring Think Floyd's Lewis Hall & Steve Farmer!
 
 
COOL STRUTTIN' is an album of original material which comes from the recording sessions of  Chris Watson (Guitar), Lewis Hall (Bass) & Steve Farmer (Drums)
     The three guys had built up a considerable musical understanding during a period of time when they took to the road performing the music of Jimi Hendrix.  This soon blossomed into a more eclectic format which included the music of Focus, Peter Greens Fleetwood Mac, Cream and Santana. In turn this music gradually gave way to a growing collection of original material which began to dominate their live performances. 
     This album represents the creative fruits of this period. Much of the music is spontaneous and little to no rehearsal was involved. This results in a improvisational raw energy that galvanizes the music.  There is an interesting diversity between the tracks that results from the unique musical experience each of the members brings to the trio.
 
     Chris Watson has had a very interesting musical career, playing in professional bands since his early teens, he then toured with the National Youth Jazz Orchestra as a featured soloist for 7 years.  While studying at the Guildhall School of Music & Drama Chris began working in West End theatre orchestras and studio session orchestras including the LWT Television orchestra.  Chris Watson has played for people as diverse as Cilla Black to The Temptations, Bob Monkhouse to Courtney Pine.  He has also recorded for Elaine Paige, John Dankworth, John Williams and The Sugar Babes (including an extended guitar improvisation solo on their first international hit 'Overload').   
    Chris started working with Lewis Hall & Steve Farmer in the summer of 2003 playing a tribute to Jimi Hendrix in venues and festivals around Cambridgeshire and Lincolnshire.  Chris had recorded a Jazz album and a Latin album before embarking on the more rock orientated Cool Struttin’.
