The unmistakeable sound of Sadao Watanabe, my most favourite saxophonist, first time hearing him speak english! All world class musicians here. Thanks for the trip dowm memory lane.
Eric Gale, Richard Tee, Ralph McDonald, and Steve. New York City's greatest session rhythm section. These guys created the indelible sounds of the 70s and 80s smooth jazz genre.
Some great players in this video. All musical heroes of my teens, and I still listen to them in different constellations, like Will Lee with Pat Matheney and Gary Burton. Still have the vinyl Watanabe album California Shower, the tune they seem to be rehersing. Thanx for posting.
Thanks for sharing this video clip. I have never seen the sax player, Sadao Watanabe perform before. Even if it's in rehearsal. I could only find one LP of his from 1986, "Good Time for Love". His music very smooth and melodic - easy groove, which makes Steve Gadd, the perfect drummer for his music. Lots of excellent supporting musicians - jazz, and R & B greats.😀👍
Thanks Ruben!! You are the number one Gadd aficionado in the world today!. Many years ago when I first heard Gadd I wanted to learn what made him tick, then I saw a video of him playing Sissy strut in an army band and realised he has always been Steve Gadd. Such is the nature of genius. Buddy and Steve both have that perceived inability to explain their genius to the satisfaction of their adoring followers. It's like asking a bird how he flies. He just shrugs his wings and takes off! Although Steve has done some great videos and tutorials. There is always more questions. You're videos and explanations and playing is the best I've seen in all these years. Thankyou for all your great work Ruben. From all lifelong lovers of Gadd are truly a gift and a blessing, like the man himself!

Also Will Lee
Don't forget Grover Washington Jr. (RIP) and William Henry Marcus Miller Jr.
そうそうたるメンバーですね。。この映像は１９８４年ですが、ナベサダは２０２３年の今現在も９０歳で活動している、というのが驚異！
NHK特集だったかな？
1時間の、「リハーサル」っていうタイトルで放送されましたね。
この番組とセットで、武道館でのライブも放送されましたね。
ビデオで録画したので、いまだに持ってます😅
ウイルさんのこんなにさっぱりしたヘアスタイルは初めて見ました
Wow thank you for uploading this ! We also have Ralph MacDonald playing percussion.
This was GREAT music with GREAT musicians.
凄い貴重な映像ですね。
Indeed, it IS. Well said.
懐かしいなぁ〜♬

thanks for the title song
Different constellations? Is that something to do with star gazing?🤔
This is fantastic! Thank you for sharing this unbelievable magic.
佳き時代です🌟
Great musicians! They were working for the Rendez-vous live show.
Wow , These guys are Pros
World class all! Thanks for posting!

Вилл Ли еще совсем молодой!
サンフランシスコに行ったら、日本の有名どころ奏者より吹けている若者がストリートでやっていた。やはり凄い國だと思いました
Thank you for sharing.
Your welcome some amazing stuff!!!
The place is full of black Yamaha RC drums.
スティーヴ・ガッドさんやリチャード・ティーさん、ラルフ・マクドナルドさん、ウィル・リーさんはビージーズのアルバムで知りました。
私はビージーズが大好きなのです。😊
リチャード・ティーさんにはもっと長生きして欲しかったです。
ありがとうございます。
👍🙂R.I.P. Eric Gale & Richard (Mr.) Tee. 😢
Fine respected musicians.. they collaborate with respect.. cool.. ✌️😎
Wow sadao watanabe…..one of my favourite sax players besides the late grover washington
メンバーのうちRalph McDonald, Eric Gale, Richard Teeは既にこの世を去った。
が、我らがナベさんは今なお精力的に活動。いつまでもお元気で頑張ってほしいです。
Cleanly shaven and playing match-grip…
its like seeing a unicorn
Hahaha, that was funny.
Thanx for this incredible Upload 🙏
You are very welcome!🙏
WOW very cool
懐かしいですね。
This is classic!

ランデブーは私のフェイバリットアルバムです！
Magnifico.👑👑👑👑👑👑
Nabe Sada is Watanabe Sadao. Saw him in Iwakuni 1980 with Hino Teramasa
スティーヴガッド若い‼️
49 yasında burda
Great stuff.
Amazing Ruben,thanks for this gem,
Rehearing for Sadao Watanabe's Live at the Budokan
Wow, how the hell did you even get a hold of this? Incredible. Looks like a good pay day, too! 😆 Pretty sure they nailed it at the gig. Thanks.
The concert is also on RUclips, sadao watanabe live 1984 feat.Roberta Flack
ビッグネーム揃いのミュージシャンばかりですね。この中では若手のキーボーディストのロブ・マウンジーのアルバムを何枚か持ってます。DigとかBack In The Poolとか。
How young Will Lee was...walking in the big footsteps of A.Jackson.
At 1:03 something we a\ll did at some point .Pencil snack :)))
Немного брака получилось,звукового звук выключился на 1,5 минуты! А в остальном всё супер Стив Гэд Профи,был и всегда останется Супер,лучший!!!
Will Lee was there as well !
Wow! They all were so young. Look at Will from the old Letterman Band on bass. He looks like a little kid!
ヤバいメンバー さすがナベサダさを
Great to see Ralph Macdonald in action.😊
Ralph MacDonald producer and percussion.
Basically Paul Simon’s pre Graceland band with Watanabe.
当時のデビッド・サンボーンや、グローバー・ワシントンJrと近いバンドメンバーなんだけど、全然違う音になってるのが面白い。
Fill up the night が出たときはグローバーの頭のすげ替えかよー、と思ったりもしましたが Rendezvousでいい境地に落ち着きましたね。
Fill up the nightの出だしの曲は好きです。マーカスのドライブ感がバネのようで凄い。
これはテレビやユーチューブで見たことあるやつ。
Ruben have you heard "friendship" album by lee ritenour, direct to disc recording.
Yes'sir!!!
RALPH MACDONALD, percussion & music director
❤
Will Lee there!
Smooth 😂😂jazz
ありがとう、ルーヴェン！
一体どこでこの動画入手したの？当時日本のテレビで流れてたのかな😊
ウィルが自分のRUclipsチャンネルでアップしてましたね
Is that Will Lee on bass?
Yes!
ラルフ・マクドナルドがバンマスだったんだな。
Instead of "Adadadadadaa. make it Addadadadaddadada."
Guys are smoking 😊
cigarettes too
Het Ruber, what is that snare drum?
Yamaha metal 14x6,5;)
Thanks!!!!
ガッドにヒゲあらへんがな
9:30 mute 無音 著作権？
Yes:( ruclips.net/video/iCBj0LkcP_U/видео.htmlsi=t1swN3_Yr4tVYYlQ
Sounds like the soundtrack to 1980's Porn 😅
この時代日本人にバックビートなんて理解できなかったんだろう。
その中で海外ミュージシャンとセッション出来ていた渡辺さんは凄いとしかいいようがない。
ひえ～～～
皆若い
who has a pencil in their mouth at 1:01? thanks
I think it's Richard Tee
Poor labeling of video. Gadd's barely in it.
Oh I think he is there the whole time, strange
Uffff que mal envejecen algunas cosas…🫣🙁🤭🤭🤭 la calidad individual no te hace ganar un partido..🤨
Steve gadd ? WTF
been following him for 50 years
Why is Greg Brady playing the drums?
C'è da commentare? ✨🌟🏅🏅🏅🏅🏅🏅🏅🏅Manca Anthony Jackson e vabbè...
