Review by Mazen Traboulsi

Morning Island is a soothing and captivating album by the renowned Japanese jazz saxophonist Sadao Watanabe. With a blend of smooth jazz, bossa nova, and traditional Japanese melodies, this album takes the listener on a journey to a peaceful and serene island.

The album starts with the title track "Morning Island," a mellow and uplifting melody that sets the tone for the rest of the album. Watanabe's saxophone is accompanied by a soft piano and gentle percussion, creating a dreamy and ethereal atmosphere.

The album features several standout tracks, including "Misty" and "Masquerade," which showcase Watanabe's impeccable saxophone skills. The former is a classic jazz standard, while the latter is a funky and upbeat tune with a catchy melody.

One of the most unique aspects of the album is the incorporation of traditional Japanese instruments, such as the koto and shakuhachi flute. These instruments add a distinct flavor to tracks like "Hikaru Kaze" and "Kaze no Uta," and give the album a sense of cultural authenticity.
