KAZUOのコメント
ジャズ・トロンボーンを志した人なら誰でも一度は耳にし、憧れを持つプレイヤーの一人。あのフェイマス・ドア・レコードから出された伝説的なLP特集、
Ten Wheel Drive に所属していた時や1973年から1977年にリーダーだったビッグバンドの Manhattan Wildlif Refuge 時代のレコードがCD化にならないかと私は待ち望んでいます。
ここに上げたCDでも、あのハイノートと高度なテクニックを聞くことが出来ます。
“Bill Watrous In London”アルバムでは、ペダルからハイトーン、重音奏法を駆使したライブハウスでの演奏が収録されています。
昔ビル・ワトラスのライブを聞いた翌日に、C・リンドベルイの演奏を聞いた時、リンドベルイの演奏がかすんで聞こえたくらいに、ワトラスの演奏はテクニカル的に凄いかった!
