Smooth Sax Tribute to Earth, Wind and Fire

Smooth Sax Tribute to Earth, Wind and Fire　（2004）



This is the cover album of Earth,Wind & Fireperformed by Saxpone player Walter Chancellor!

While adapting importantly originally, he arranged more jazzy so that a saxophone might be emphasized.

A saxophone takes the lead insted of vocal.
And that sound of the saxophone is so comfortable!

It's deserted that there are no voice and performance of a EWF member of course, but it's an interesting album for a fan!

Live in Velfarre

Live in Velfarre (1998)



This is a Live source of the legend performed in Roppongi Velfarre on April 20th in 1995!
Roppongi Velfarre was the big disco in Japan.

There was live in Nippon Budokan on the next day, so it was EWF enjoyment by continuation for 2 days for me.



2 days were same mostly, but the played number was very different in audience's aerial sense.
Even though it was in huge disco , we could feel Earth,Wind & Fire around here right now more than usual ,my tension went up .

It was a luxurious experience that Ｉ　could shake my body according to the groove of hit songs of EWF.

These CDs are the same contents, and something with the different title is sold a lot
such as Plugged in & Liveor Greatest Hits Live.
