12.20 Rolling Stones - Charlie Watts tribute

Rolling Stones drummer Charlie Watts, who helped them become one of the greatest bands in rock 'n' roll, has died at the age of 80.

"It is with immense sadness that we announce the death of our beloved Charlie Watts," a statement said.
It said he was "a cherished husband, father and grandfather" and "one of the greatest drummers of his generation".

The news came weeks after it was announced that Watts would miss the band's US tour dates to recover from an unspecified medical procedure. Watts was previously treated for throat cancer in 2004.

He had been a member of the Stones since January 1963, when he joined Mick Jagger, Keith Richards and Brian Jones in their fledgling group.

We look back on his life and listen to some of the best Rolling Stones tunes.

4:00 The Mixtape: Nathan Haines

Jazz saxophonist and producer Nathan Haines has been through somewhat of a metamorphosis in recent years.

He's evolved from edgy wunderkind to humble legend, via sobriety, fatherhood and cancer.

Haines is acknowledged to be our country's leading jazz musician. His first solo album Shift Left was a game-changing fusion of acid jazz and hip-hop and won New Zealand Jazz Record of the Year.

A decade long stint in London had him on the vanguard of the acid jazz movement, working with producer and DJ Phil Asher to make now classic albums Sound Travels and Squire for Hire

He talks life and chooses his favourite songs on this episode of The Mixtape.
