The powerhouse drumming of Jeff "Tain" Watts was one of the elements that floored me. Watts remains a pillar of the current scene, playing in Branford Marsalis’s brilliant quartet and doing fine work for Michael Brecker, Kenny Garrett, Dave Holland, and others. Citizen Tain is his debut as a leader. The disc opens with "The Impaler. The head sounds uncannily like vintage Blue Note. Citizen Tain is supposed to highlight the drummer’s fledgling compositional abilities. All tracks but one are Tain originals. In addition to "The Impaler," four others are absolutely stunning.
