Sadao Watanabe, a saxophone player with over 70 years of musical experience, will lead a big band.
This year marks the 30th anniversary of the Sadao Watanabe Orchestra, which he formed with Yoichi Murata (tb) and other leading Japanese horn players on the occasion of the "SADAO WATANABE ONE NIGHT WITH ORCHESTRA for Duke with Love" concert in 1995.
The sound of the orchestra, which has been built around the respect each member has for Sadao Watanabe, has matured over time and is showing further evolution.
For this performance to commemorate the 30th anniversary of the band's formation, they invited their overseas allies Russell Ferrante (p) and Ben Williams (b) to perform their supple and songful saxophone playing and their profound and brilliant ensemble.
Don't miss the impressive big band sound of 17 members in total.
