A new frontier in jazz born from a longing for Africa
An ambitious experimental work by Sadao Watanabe that fuses African music with jazz.
The primitive rhythms created by the saxophone and percussion transport the listener to unknown lands. Western music and African traditions blend seamlessly, opening up new musical horizons. This is an important milestone in the history of Japanese jazz, culminating in Watanabe's spirit of exploration and adventure.
