As of june, 2026, Philip Watt is back in Saint Louis. Pairing up with Nick Fiveash (guitar) again and welcoming Dylan Roussel, this is a new jazz trio, ideal for wine bars, ambiance-rich rooms, and even small venues. The three musicians bring a wide sampling of jazz to each concert.

One of the signatures of this trio is jazz history. When was the last time you attended a jazz concert and received a program with liner notes for each tune? The Five Watt Roussel Trio brings jazz history and a curated set list to each gig. Watch out! We add tunes every week. Fiveash and Watt sing ballads, up-tempo chestnuts and good old school crooner standards, too. Roussel is an actual monster on the fretless.
