- LP pressed on 180g Heavyweight Pure Vinyl Disc
- Ryo Fukui's first leader album in sixteen years and his final work
- Renowned pianist from Hokkaido
“Today, I want to play better than yesterday. Tomorrow, better than today”. With this belief in his heart, Ryo Fukui devoted himself to the piano for forty years.
Ryo Fukui, the renowned pianist from Hokkaido who sadly passed away in 2016, has earned global recognition among jazz listeners through his highly praised early works Scenery and Mellow Dream. A Letter From Slowboat, recorded in 2015, marked his first leader album in sixteen years. The sessions took place at Slowboat his musical home together with two young musicians whose talent Fukui himself deeply trusted. The lyricism that seeps through “Sonora”, the poetic warmth enveloping “Stella By Starlight,” the vibrant energy coursing through “Speak Low” each performance is filled with life. His touch grew more forceful, his emotions more profound, his musical fragrance even more luxuriant.
His touch became more powerful, his emotions deeper, his tone more richly fragrant. Even setting aside the fact that this is his final work, the album stands as a pure and undeniable masterpiece.
