Iberian Waltz by Sadao Watanabe & Charlie Mariano, released on Columbia as part of their Takt Jazz Series in 1969.
Nice hardbop with some modal playing from these two jazz greats.

“New Native” by Masabumi Kikuchi (1981)

I think this LP from Japanese #jazz pianist #MasabumiKikuchi had a decent release in the US, but it still eluded me for a while.
Released in 1981, but there’s definitely an electric 70s vibe here, an influence you can hear for Miles. 😉

At almost 15 minutes, this one’s on the longer side but, man, it’s Friday, and maybe we should take back a little time.
Some modal and spiritual #jazz vibes here, and going down nicely as the clouds roll in.

Draußen wehrt sich letzter Schnee gegen das Tauen, Winterwetter endet gegen 10:30 sagt die App. Drinnen blühen schon die Bäume, musikalisch sehr bedächtig: Masabumi Kikuchi.
