Trevor has had a long standing improvising duo with pianist Veryan Weston and another very different duo with Percussionist Jamie Harris, based on rhythmic & melodic ideas in the main. They were wildly appreciated at the Sao Paolo Jazz Festival in Brasil some years ago and also in the Dominican Republic.
This sample of Watts' newest venture called ETERNAL TRIANGLE which features Jamie Harris (Percussion)/Veryan Weston (Nord Kybd) and Trevor Watts (alto & sop saxes, compositions) and is made up from those two duos, you can hear at the above link.
