      Greatest LPs to never make it to CD

      By Kevin Bresnahan · Posted

      I'm in the process of "needle dropping" several LPs that have never made it to CD or download. I started with Joanne Brackeen's two Tappen Zee LPs, "Keyed In" & "Ancient Dynasty". Next up will be a couple of Lew Tabackin LPs, "Tabackin" (Inner City) - also called "Let The Tape Roll" & "Tenor Gladness" (Inner City), which has been released on CD in Japan but I never got around to ordering. After that, I'm planning Cecil Payne's "Bright Moments" & "Brookfield Adante", both on the Spotlite label. I'm a sucker for baritone sax dates. I'll probably also do Don Joseph's "One Of A Kind" (Uptown) as I've kinda given up on the expanded digital release that @Chuck Nessa hinted at a few years ago. I used to needle drop LPs a lot years ago but got tired of the process after stupidly agreeing to make about 75 of them for a fellow in Florida in exchange for being able to keep the LPs afterward. I have all of Kamuca's Concord LPs as needle drops. I listen to them often.

      Sadao Watanabe

      By clifford_thornton · Posted

      Yeah, Watanabe worked with African dance and percussion troupes in the 70s, and maybe even beyond that. Of course he was also (IIRC) one of the first Japanese artists to explore bossa nova in the 60s. Pretty interesting life he's had for sure!

      Sadao Watanabe is a pioneer of modern jazz in Japan, but he is perhaps best known in Japan for songs from fusion albums like "My Dear Life", "California Shower", and "Orange Express"—which were not really "smooth jazz", but influenced by African-inspired world music and Brazilian music—that were frequently played on radio and television throughout the 1970s and 1980s. I’ve heard that this style of Japanese crossover music is also popular overseas these days. Incidentally, Watanabe is 93 years old and still performs live regularly; he’s full of energy.

      I think T.D. is right in that Watanabe got rolled up into the "smooth jazz" side of things and he rode that for quite a while. He's like the Japanese David Sanborn.
