Sadao Watanabe - How's everything (full album)

[@enriqueguiris5873]

My mom used to tell me that when she was young and studying surgery she used to catch this in the radio. Now im studying epidemiology and listening to Watanabe online :D . Thanks for preserving culture

[@Spadeless]

I had a restaurant on Durban beachfront many years ago. A waitress introduced me to this album. It became a favourite of mine. I had the LP and the cd. Now I listen online. An absolute gem!

[@reabetswemabitsela2798]

I remember when my Dad used to play this album on long trips from Johannesburg all the way to Durban. Man id whistle it the entire trip. A master piece and a half.

first heard this covering a Jazz shift called Shades Of Jazz at my college station WCWP Brookville NY in the 1980s...still listening at age 72 in 2024!! Awesome memories...many thanks!!!

[@kathyt3300]

One of my favorites from over 25 years ago when I had a cassette copy from my brother-in-law. Such greats all together! Thank you!!

[@brucemargot7970]

From a 63 yr old fart in Kalbaskraal, South Africa - one of the greatest albums ever, Dave Grusin, Eric Gale, Ralph McDonald, Steve Gadd ETC - Masters, absolutely sublime, brilliant

[@brucemargot7970]

@@malcolmgerald A little of the radar, but give the 1978 Mark-Almond album "Other Peoples Rooms" a listen, a really good album, also with the Drummer Steve Gadd doing service, a little known gem of an album - Stay safe during this Covid-19 stuff

[@boombabiesrrd]

Bruce Margot I had a vinyl LP record of Mark-Almond’s “Other People’s Rooms”. Released in 1978 (I think) & produced by Tommy LiPuma (the man who produced George Benson’s first 4 albums for Warner Bros., Michael Franks’ first 2 or 3 Warner albums & so many other commercially successful records). I sold that Mark-Almond LP back in the ‘90s, tho. Then when I had a chance to buy a CD of Other People’s Rooms in South Korea in 2003, I passed it up. It was too expensive. I think the album’s can be heard here on KZbin & probably on Spotify :)

@@brucemargot7970 My goodness, so many THANKS, man !! I have been looking for the name of this band for somany years ! I had this album (as a cassette tape !)but it was stolen in my car and then I forgot the name of the band. Impossible to find it in my f***** bad memory. And there you appear with your comment. Thanks again, man, you made someone's day !

[@brucemargot7970]

@@pbastien5041 Glad you found it again, most people have never heard of it, but is still one of my favorite albums, and seen you like it, another off the radar hidden gem of a album I love - Jimmy Little "Messenger" (1999), very smooth, beautifully produced, backing musicians really good, and Jimmy's voice just floats me away, give it a listen and hope you enjoy

[@dayooyekan1983]

First jazz album i ever owned in high school ...introduced me to smooth jazz.......thank u Nabisada

[@staceyking7911]

Dayo oyekan, then again a few rare human gem 💎 f millennials out there will potentially discover and fully enjoy this PHENOMENAL ALBUM, since you've mentioned high school.

[@SteveOjonta]

I got to know about Sadao from my late brother in 1982 when i visited him for holiday that year. And Sadao has since then become my jazz hero.

[@peterk2455]

Watanabe Sadao is a living treasure of Japan

[@austrian96]

Yes, in deed!!!

[@pbastien5041]

For me the greatest album of Sadao Watanabe, and probably one of the best albums of all times ! Thank you for allowing me to listen to it again

[@howarddimburgers6027]

Agreed!

One of my favorite tunes to start the weekend as dj in Rotterdam

Pops brought this in the house when I was about 20. A sheer celebration of music, then and now.

[@fatih1445h]

Sound is clear as clear as i heard this album for the first time 39 years ago. I love Sadao Watanabe

[@austrian96]

He's my first love in Jazz...!!!💓💓💓

[@relaxpayourincometax]

I bought this many decades ago. Exited initially by the folk listed in the sleeve notes. It cost me a fortune, being a Japanese import double LP. Due to the unknown and cost I had this alien compulsion to like it anyway. Unpacked it, listened to it , absolutely loved it. A quantum leap in listening for me at the time. It is priceless (smile).

[@clivelange7879]

definately my favourite sadao albums.pure magic man

[@Larrybarrymo]

thank you marcel ♥ without you i haven´t known about this album that is just wonderfull and goosbumps for me :)

[@mccooperman]

Great album I have this locked away on vinyl... truly amazing took me back probably 35 years can’t remember exactly.... I think Robbie Vincent introduced his sound to me and a pal and this stays with you... thank you for sharing 👍😊👋

[@relaxpayourincometax]

I heard someone playing the album 'Orange Express'. Changed my listening. (At a time for me when jazz sounded like pots and pans falling out of a cupboard.)

Waouuuuh le générique de l'émission ivoirienne AFRIQUE ÉTOILES 😯❤❤❤❤

[@ivoinewhitneyingraham8389]

A TRUE MASTERPIECE. I played this in my resturant Travellers Rest, Williams Town on the beach, Freeport Grand Bahama, Bahamas. The memories from that era will live on in my mind forever and a day. I am extremely fortunate to have lived then and now.

[@Spadeless]

I had a restaurant, Legends Cafe, in Durban South Africa in the 80's. I played this a lot. Prefect music! Those were the happiest days of my life!

[@howarddimburgers6027]

I first heard cuts from this album on a jazz radio program called, "Dan's Thing" ( Dan Howard was the DJ) After hearing it I just had to have it! All these decades later it's probably my favorite album. Hearing it just makes me happy. I wish I'd been there to hear it all go down live. Must have been incredible.

[@staceyking7911]

An all time favorite...it is such a thrill to find this here...a big 👍 from me

[@boombabiesrrd]

I had this 2-LP record set all those years ago (from 1980 to mid-90s). Never got a CD of it which surely was available in Japan & probably in the U.S., too. This was Sadao Watanabe’s first record for Columbia Records (U.S.), an unheard-of double LIVE album! Sadao previously recorded many albums for the Japan Victor Company, the JVC label (which was also a Japanese brand of audio-video electronic appliances).
