Description:
Originally released on Vanguard in 1974, this is an adventurous post bop date featuring an especially inspired Watanabe best known for his Charlie Parker influenced alto playing with Chick Corea on acoustic and electric piano, Miroslav Vitous on upright bass and Jack DeJohnette on drummers. This is one of Sadao's finest works, and it ranges from the Celtic influenced, Weather Report ish "Pastoral" to the contemplative "Nostalgia" to the insistent, 20 minute "Round Trip: Going & Coming". |
