Birds Of Passage Stones Throw Records Hamerkop translates the topography thatReleased in 1987, Sadao Watanabes Birds of Passage is a polished standout in the realm of 1980s jazz fusion, showcasing the Japanese alto saxophonist's transition into a more accessible, melodious style. The album is defined by its breezy, atmospheric production and clean arrangements, often leaning into the "smooth jazz" aesthetic while maintaining a rhythmic complexity influenced by Watanabes fondness for Brazilian music.
