{"product_id":"scenery-1","title":"Scenery","description":"\u003cp\u003eUnquestionably one of the most important Japanese jazz albums ever recorded, \u003ci\u003eScenery\u003c\/i\u003e 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 \u003ci\u003eIt Could Happen To You\u003c\/i\u003e and its serene and calm intro which magically flows into a jubilant and upbeat piece, to the out-of-this-world piano solo of \u003ci\u003eEarly Summer\u003c\/i\u003e, or the incredible teamwork of \u003ci\u003eAutumn Leaves\u003c\/i\u003e 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\u003ci\u003e Scenery\u003c\/i\u003e with the soulful gem \u003ci\u003eMellow Dream\u003c\/i\u003e 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.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"We Release Jazz","offers":[{"title":"Black LP","offer_id":50409508405579,"sku":"1049704","price":27.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"Red LP","offer_id":50409509028171,"sku":"2179686","price":52.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"LP","offer_id":50409508536651,"sku":"1034398","price":34.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"CD","offer_id":50409508766027,"sku":"1034397","price":14.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/3e7d68f2-0760-4c36-bd97-330a282e0afb_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1726616218","url":"https:\/\/shop.roughtrade.com\/de\/products\/scenery-1","provider":"Rough Trade","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
