Alto Saxophone – Charlie Mariano; Alto Saxophone, Flute – Sadao Watanabe; Bass – Masanaga Harada; Drums – Masahiko Togashi; Piano – Masabumi Kikuchi. Recorded June 27, 1967 at Victor Studio, Tokyo, Japan.
In 1967, Sadao Watanabe and Charlie Mariano recorded a pair of albums in Japan, Charlie Mariano & Sadao Watanabe on Victor and Iberian Waltz on the Takt Jazz Series label. Each album has been reissued in Japan, the U.S., and several European countries.
Sadao: "I learned so much from Charlie. Bird was my idol and Charlie’s too, but most of my Bird influence came from Charlie Mariano." Born in Utsunomiya city in Tochigi prefecture in 1933, Sadao Watanabe grew up around music including his father who sang and played the biwa, a Japanese flute. In high school, Sadao Watanabe first started playing clarinet, crediting the 1941 musical Birth Of The Blues with inspiring this decision. After relocating to Tokyo at the age of 18, Sadao Watanabe began playing alto saxophone for the first time. During the next decade, he honed his skills in sessions with various groups including Toshiko Akiyoshi’s Cozy Quartet, which he assumed leadership of when she moved to the United States in 1956. In 1961, he released his first of more than sixty albums as a leader, Sadao Watanabe.
