Ryo Fukui - In New York [180g heavyweight vinyl / Pure Vinyl edition]

A confident touch, a swing with a strong core, and a sense of emotion permeating the dynamism.
Ryo Fukuya arrives in New York and delves into the essence of bebop with the rhythm section of Barry Harris, whom he regarded as his mentor.

Ryo Fukuya passed away in 2016, leaving behind only five albums. This is his fourth work, recorded in 1999. Recorded in New York with Lyle Atkinson (bass) and Leroy Williams (drums), the rhythm section of his mentor Barry Harris, this album is a superb recording that fully conveys Fukuya's appeal as a bebop pianist. The selection and arrangement, centered on standards, and of course the playing itself, are brimming with determination and power. A profound, confident touch; a swing with a strong core and elasticity; and emotion and poetry permeating the dynamism. It is a vivid sound that makes you feel Fukuya's breath and will. The re-recording of his signature tune "Mellow Dream" is also a welcome addition.
