Official reissue of Ryo Fukui’s New York sessions with Lisle Atkinson on bass and Leroy Williams on drums.

Recorded in February 1999 at Avatar Recording Studios and inspired by Ryo Fukui’s idol and mentor Barry Harris, the fourth album from the famed Sapporo pianist glows with poetic takes on classics by Charlie Parker, George Gershwin, and Cole Porter, plus a supreme remake of his very own Mellow Dream. This is full on bop magic, expressive, soulful, and vibrating with a bouncing swing feel.

A smoking trio set from Japanese pianist Ryo Fukui – recorded in New York with help from Lisle Atkinson on bass and Leroy Williams on drums! The date's a bit later than some of the classics from the golden age of Japanese piano trio recordings, but has a very similar vibe – and in addition to very deft, expressive work from Fukui – a player who's maybe got more bop elements here than in his early days – the group also really sparkles with the work of Atkinson, a player who's sometimes overlooked, but who always brings a subtle depth to his sessions.
