  • The Great Jazz Trio

Sadao Watanabe returns to his bop roots on this essential session, trading electric experimentation for the intimacy of acoustic jazz. Fronting the legendary Great Jazz Trio—Hank Jones (piano), Ron Carter (bass), and Tony Williams (drums)—Watanabe's alto sax sings with newfound clarity and warmth. The rhythm section is immaculate, their interplay elevating every moment, while Carter and Williams deliver some of their finest work. A masterclass in restraint and sophistication.
