A FEW OF THE ITEMS WE WANT...
 | RYO FUKUI Scenery (Official UK/EU 6-track vinyl LP reissue of the
highly sought-after 1976 jazz masterpiece, mastered at Music Matters
Berlin and Half Speed Cut by Rainer Maillard at Emil Berliner Studios,
pressed on 150-gram audiophile quality black vinyl at Optimal. Picture
sleeve with original cover artwork. Both sleeve and vinyl are in Near
Mint condition)
Tracklisting: Unquestionably one of the most important Japanese jazz albums ever recorded, Scenery reveals Ryo Fukui as a miraculously brilliant self-taught pianist fusing modal, bop, and cool jazz influences for a very personal, dexterous and game-changing take on classic standards made famous by Bing Crosby and John Coltrane among others.
From It Could Happen To You and its serene and calm intro which magically flows into a jubilant and upbeat piece, to the out-of-this-world piano solo of Early Summer, or the incredible teamwork of Autumn Leaves where Fukui leads Satoshi Denpo (bass) and Yoshinori Fukui (drums) into groove heaven, every single note on the album oozes precision, confidence and flair and every single section slides seamlessly into one another, creating a supreme and elegant blend of jazz.
Often compared to McCoy Tyner or Bill Evans, Ryo Fukui was a genius in his own right, a true master of his craft whose perfectionism gave birth to some of the greatest music ever recorded. Scenery is his magnum opus and an absolute must-have.
The Hokkaido wizard-pianist followed Scenery with the soulful gem Mellow Dream in 1977. He then focused on improving his live skills, often performing at Sapporo’s Slowboat Jazz Club (which he co-founded with his wife Yasuko Fukui) and releasing 2 live albums. Ryo Fukui sadly passed away in March 2016, leaving behind a legacy of works that is sure to captivate jazz lovers for generations to come.

1977, mastered at Music Matters Berlin and Half Speed Cut by
Rainer Maillard at Emil Berliner Studios, pressed on 150-gram
audiophile quality black vinyl at Optimal. Picture sleeve with
original cover artwork, hype sticker & factory sealed. Highly
recommended)
Tracklisting: Reissue of criminally overlooked Japanese jazz gem Mellow Dream (1977) by Hokkaido pianist wunderkind Ryo Fukui, released in conjunction with the its legendary predecessor Scenery, sourced from the original masters.
Firmly standing on the foundation he laid down with Scenery, Ryo Fukui continues his exploration of modal, bop and cool jazz sounds with meticulous grace and absolute mastery. As its title suggests, Mellow Dream ventures into slightly mellower, more soulful, and sometimes more contemplative territories (the Bill Evans-reminiscent Mellow Dream and My Foolish Heart) while still packing the commanding punch Fukui’s work is loved for, as heard on the amazingly bombastic Baron Potato Blues or the gigantic McCoy Tyner / John Coltrane-influenced Horizon which sees each member of the trio (Satoshi Denpo is on bass and Yoshinori Fukui is on drums) demonstrating their virtuosity for 9 exhilarating minutes.
With his sophomore album, Ryo Fukui swings from melancholy to vibrant joy with ease, reminding us that jazz is best served with a pinch of blues, and displays an immensely rare combination of pure talent, unique personal approach and focused discipline. The man undeniably deserves a spot in the pantheon of all-time great jazz pianists.
