Description
A key fusion set from Sadao Watanabe – a record that has him moving away from some of the bolder tones of the early 70s, into warmly soulful territory that would him him find a much bigger international audience! The album's still got a nice sharp edge, though – as it's recorded in that key Japanese fusion stretch of the late 70s – a time when the overseas scene was digging some of the best elements from American electric jazz, and putting them together with a style that was clean, lean, and still plenty soulful. Watanabe's reeds get some great help here from American players who include Dave Grusin on Fender Rhodes, Lee Ritenour on guitar, Oscar Brashear on trumpet, and Ernie Watts on tenor – and rhythms feature tight drums from Harvey Mason, plus extra percussion from Paulinho Da Costa. Cuts include "Duo-Creatics", "Desert Ride", "Ngoma Party", "Seventh High", "My Country", "Turning Pages Of Wind", and "California Shower". © 1996-2017, Dusty Groove, Inc.

Please keep in mind that most of the recordings that we have listed are more than 30 years old. Unless an album is unopened and sealed we will not grade it as mint. All opened albums will have some imperfections, even if extremely minor. We will try to describe the condition of the vinyl and sleeves as accurately as possible. Contact us first if there is a problem so we can resolve the issue. Note that we do not deep clean any of our records. We leave that to people far more skilled then we are.

We do our best to describe the quality and condition of everything listed. Visit our store to see our other listings. (dbr1)
