SYNOPSIS

Recorded in Sapporo and released on Trio Records, Scenery marks the dazzling debut of pianist Ryo Fukui. With Satoshi Denpo on bass and Yoshinori Fukui on drums, the trio delivers a set of standards and originals infused with youthful energy, lyrical phrasing, and sharp rhythmic drive. Fukui’s touch—both elegant and fiercely swinging—quickly established him as one of Japan’s most distinctive jazz voices. Long beloved by collectors and rediscovered by a new generation of listeners worldwide, Scenery remains a cornerstone of Japanese jazz and a timeless introduction to Fukui’s artistry.
