DESCRIPTION

A long-awaited analogization of the remains of Fukui Ryo!

In 2016, the name pianist from Hokkaido who regretly left this world, Fukui Yoshi. The two early works "Scenery" and "Mellow Dream" have been highly appreciated, and now this name, "A Letter From Slowboat" whose name is now known to the world's jazz listeners, will be in 2015, for the first time in 16 years A produced leader album.

Recording was performed at the home live house slow boat, along with promising youngsters, Fukui also recognizes the ability. Lyricism floating in "Sonora", poetry enveloping "Stella By Starlight", lively movement full of "Speak Low".

Touch is more powerful, emotion deeper, scent more enriched.

"Today, than to yesterday, tomorrow than today be better a little." Fukui who has devoted himself to the piano for 40 years with this feeling in mind. The culmination of that 40 years is vividly recorded here.

Even if it excludes the weight of being a remains work, it is a pure masterpiece.
