- Title: Orange Express - Artist: Sadao Watanabe Sadao Watanabe's album "Orange Express" is a smash hit characterized by its pop and melodic fusion sound. It's a masterpiece that marked the peak of his famous collaboration with Dave Grusin, featuring sounds that evoke Africa and Brazil, the participation of star guests like George Benson, and the later fame of the title track. Key points of the work: Musicality: While based on jazz, it has a sophisticated pop and strong fusion feel, incorporating musical elements from Africa and Brazil.

Representative Song: The title track "Orange Express" later had lyrics added and became famous when covered and hit by the Miami Sound Machine. Evaluation: As a masterpiece representing the jazz fusion scene of the time, it is still supported by many listeners today. I haven't been able to confirm playback as I don't have a player, but the appearance seems fine. The sound is from a cassette tape, so please refrain from purchasing if you are concerned about the condition (e.g., sound distortion). The images are everything. Thank you for looking.
