by Ryo Fukui

A cult classic from the vibrant Japanese jazz scene of the 1970s. 'Scenery' is a powerful and swinging take on the hard bop piano trio tradition. Ryo Fukui's playing is deeply influenced by masters like McCoy Tyner and Bill Evans, but he possesses his own soulful, percussive, and intensely swinging style. The album's rediscovery by a new generation of listeners online has made it a beloved and essential document of international hard bop.
