Watts, an originator of the 1970s English free-improv scene, also pioneered the pairing of African drums and jazz saxophone. Percussionist Jamie Harris joins him in free-jazz improvisations. Bassist Reuben Radding couples lithe improvising with technical adroitness in a New York duo with flutist Jane Rigler.

Tula’s Restaurant, 8:30pm
