RYO FUKUI / A LETTER FROM SLOWBOAT (LP)

His two early works "Scenery" and "Mellow Dream" were highly acclaimed, and now his name has become known to jazz listeners around the world. Produced leader album. The recording took place at their home, the live house <Slow Boat>, together with two promising young musicians whom Fukui acknowledges their abilities. The lyricism of "Sonora", the poetry of "Stella By Starlight", and the dynamism of "Speak Low". The touch is stronger, the emotion is deeper, the scent is richer. “Today will be better than yesterday, and tomorrow will be better than today.” With this thought in his heart, Fukui has devoted himself to the piano for 40 years. The culmination of those 40 years is vividly recorded here. Even if you remove the weight of being a posthumous work, it is a pure masterpiece.
