Oh, I like Watanabe quite a bit, up to a point (mid-70s). The stuff on Takt and CBS is really, really good imo, not to mention the dates with Mariano (Victor, Takt). He was obviously a big seller for a time and had studied at Berklee, so he had the American connection and was hot on the festival circuit.

The tune I really liked was "For RJ", where Reeves plays the cello instead of a bass. It gives the music a lighter feel.  

Don Friedman.

I quite enjoy it as well. Excellent tunes selection!

"What a knob, eh?" is what British people say when they don't like you.
