RYO FUKUI Mellow Dream (Official UK/EU 6-track vinyl LP reissue of the criminally overlooked Japanese jazz gem from 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 AND EXTRA INFORMATION
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.
