#KazumiWatanabe (Japanese: 渡辺 香津美, Hepburn: Watanabe Kazumi, born October 14, 1953 in Tokyo) is a Japanese guitarist.
Watanabe learned guitar at the age of 12 from Sadanori Nakamure at the Yamaha Music School in Tokyo. He released his first album in 1971. In 1979, he formed a jazz rock band with some of Japan's leading studio musicians, and recorded the album Kylyn. During that year, he toured with the pop band #YellowMagicOrchestra.
In the 1980s, he toured as guest soloist with Steps, the #BreckerBrothers, and Word of Mouth, led by #JacoPastorius. Watanabe created the #jazzrock/ #jazzfusion band Mobo in 1983 with Mitsuru Sawamura (saxophone), Ichiko Hashimoto (piano), Gregg Lee (bass), Shuichi Murakami (drums), and Kiyohiko Senba.
During the eighties Watanabe released the jazz-rock albums To Chi Ka (1980), Mobo Club (1983), Mobo Splash (1985), and Spice of Life (1987). A DVD was issued from the tour which featured drummer Bill Bruford and bassist Jeff Berlin, who also played on the record.
In the 1990s Kazumi assembled an all-Japanese line-up called #ResonanceVox (Vagabonde Suzuki on bass, Rikiya Higashihara on drums, Yahiro Tomohiro on percussion). This band has released several adventurous fusion albums.
-From Kazumi Watanabe Wikipedia
Due to the recent news of Kazumi Watanabe's hospitalization and the fact that there are no videos that compile some of his solos together, I felt that this video (even as crudely edited as this one) deserved to be shown, to show how insanely gifted and talented Kazumi Watanabe is.

up主様、ありがとうございました。
香津美節、堪能しました。
香津美さんが一日も早く復帰されることを願っています。

[@markrobinson8410]

Get well soon kazumi!

[@ronsihabibi2808]

Whats happen with him?

[@Mark-jw7to]

I heard he's very ill and in the hospital

[@user-ic7tq9bh5g]

日本の伝説です!

[@user-jj2lw6bk6w]

素晴らしい編集です。
あらためて日本で随一どころか世界でも稀なレベルのスーパーギタリストだと再認識いたしました。
回復されることを祈願いたします。

[@HiromiMaruyama]

また元気な香津美さんのプレイが見たいです。1日も早く回復されますようお祈りしています。奥様も大変でしょうが頑張ってください。

[@yumenooka]

おぉ！懐かしの夢の乱入者ではないか！
毎月、関西では香津美さんの怒涛の演奏を見ることができてました。深夜テレビに食い入る様に見てました！今思うと何と贅沢な番組だったと思う次第です。
香津美さんの病状の回復、焦らずゆっくり待ってます！

[@simondavies6270]

This man should be better known world-wide. Kazumi is a world class guitarist and I wish he'd played in London because I would have loved to see him play live. However, these compilation clips shows what a renowned player he is. I pray he recovers from illness and we lovers of Jazz rock fusion will get to hear our brother Kazumi Watanabe play again. This week we lost David Sanborn and am sadden to hear about Kazumi.

[@user-bg3gz1ql6x]

病状の方は如何ですか？
また元気な姿を見せて下さいね。焦らなくていいですから。

[@user-dz1tv9fo4h]

ここまで凄いとは知らなかった😅アップありがとうございます！

[@RockOnChannelRoute66]

Wow UNT is with Bill Bruford.

[@mr.b4444]

Got to see him perform in Okinawa Japan back in 1982 or so when I was stationed there. A great player, these videos really don't do him justice as they mainly highlight his fusion side. He's a very complex player and can burn on mainstream jazz. Thanks for the upload it brings back a lot of memories.

[@user-gz8qm6ot7j]

マイルスデイヴィスのスタジオに誘われてた電話が聴き取れてたらマイルスのアルバムのギタリスト起用がマイク・スターンじゃなく渡辺香津美だったかもしれないとマイルスが言ってた話は有名ですよね。変態的でパワフルな演奏出来る天才を探してたとか!?

[@ki-wiki]

ギターの上手さは言うまでもないけど、本人がトリオ編成を好んでいるのもあってか、ベースとドラムの音を拾って演奏するのが抜群に上手い。
ベースやドラムの音に乗って自分の音を出したり、ベースやドラムの音を立てるための音を出したり、ギター以外の楽器の音が心地良く聴こえてくる。
共演者×自分の織り成す音楽の醍醐味みたいのが本当に心地良い。

[@mariomarciobarcellos1535]

Legendário. Que se recupere bem.

Holy $#@!. What an amazing talent!

타지리리님도 기타를치시는군

[@sparc20jptaka]

凄いね。香津美さんは。

[@darthvader9435]

Great fusion jazz guitarist, but what makes him underrated despite his mind blowing speed is lack of trademark solo unlike Larry Carlton n George Benson that provoke emotions, feel in every guitar solo, each one different from one another that capture wider audience in general

[@coolh615]

香津美くらいになると、どこを押さえたらどの音が出るのか、あるいはどの音を出すにはどこを押さえたらいいのか、全部頭に入ってるんだろうな

[@user-pq1eu5ky5o]

ギターある程度やってたらそれは普通か、と…。数十年前の俺でさえもそれは頭にというか体が覚えてた…。

[@coolh615]

@@user-pq1eu5ky5o ソレが凄いんですよね
わたしも長いですけど、全くわかりません
弾いて、慣れて覚える感じ
だから、インプロヴィゼーションが全く出来ません

[@user-zu2pl5cu7s]

40年ハジいて 自由にやれるのは、キーに添ったプレイのみ、モードとかインプロでは嫌です 整合性とかアウト時の外し感が薄くなるので、
