Recorded in 1980 with his quartet featuring Fumio Itabashi, this album is renowned for being the first to include the emotionally rich Japanese masterpiece \"Watarase\". Other highlights include the spirited \"Exchange\" and the beautifully poignant \"Goodbye\". Each track is a standout, offering a grand-scale performance where tranquility and movement organically intertwine, making it one of the top albums in the history of Japanese jazz.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTakeo Moriyama(Drums)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYoshio Kuniyasu(Tenor \u0026amp; Soprano Sax)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFumio Itabashi(Piano)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHideaki Mochizuki(Bass)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKoichi Matsukaze(Alto \u0026amp; Tenor Sax, Flute)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTRACKLIST \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExchange\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWatarase\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStep\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSmile\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGood Bye\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eLISTEN\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eAvailable on Desktop \u0026amp; Mobile\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Takeo Moriyama","offers":[{"title":"LP \/ Clear","offer_id":44786431262911,"sku":"COJY-9554-CL","price":74.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0620\/6947\/3471\/files\/COJY-9518-TakeoMoriyama-Smile.jpg?v=1713552756","url":"https:\/\/helixsounds.com\/products\/smile-limited-2025-color-edition-japanese-import","provider":"Helix Sounds","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
