Description: | We Release Jazz is very happy to announce the official reissue of Ryo Fukui??s only solo piano album, recorded live, June 4-5, 1994 at The Lutheran Hall in Sapporo. Sourced from the original masters, this intimate offering from the Japanese jazz legend is available on limited edition 180 gram vinyl mastered at half speed for full audiophile sound, as well as on digipack CD. Both formats come with liner notes by Yusuke Ogawa.
Originally released on CD only by Sapporo Jazz Create in 1994, My Favorite Tune is a beautiful bop adventure which includes two superb compositions that Ryo Fukui wrote as an homage to his beloved Hokkaido region, the fan-favorite ??Nord? and ??Voyage?, a tribute to his mentor Barry Harris ("Nobody??s"), alternate versions of his mega classics ??Scenery? and ??Mellow Dream?, and, last but not least, bewitching takes on timeless gems by Sonny Clark and Avery Parrish.
My Favorite Tune plays like a cool summer night, full of contemplative notes and deep feelings, with Ryo Fukui baring his heart on the piano and displaying the soulful sophistication he is loved for. A true masterpiece completing his amazing discography. - 180GR./ HALF SPEED MASTERED/HEAVY SLEEVE/LINER NOTESVinyl LP pressing. Deeper and more vivid. This is his first and only solo piano album, including the masterpiece "Nord," which was born during his journey to the north. Ryo Fukui's third album is the first analog version! This is his first and only solo piano work in 17 years since "Mellow Dream", which was released only on CD in 1994 and has been out of print for a long time. In addition to songs that represent Fukui's work such as "Scenery" and "Mellow Dream", fans will be delighted to hear songs such as "Voyage" and "Nord", which were written on a trip to the north, and "Nobody's", which is a tribute to his mentor Barry Harris. |
