“First analog version of Ryo Fukui’s third album! This is his first and only solo piano work in 17 years since ‘Mellow Dream’, which was released only on CD in 1994 and has been out of print for a long time. In addition to songs that represent Fukui’s work such as ‘Scenery’ and ‘Mellow Dream’, fans will be delighted to hear songs such as ‘Voyage’ and the masterpiece ‘Nord’, which were written on a trip to the north, and ‘Nobody’s’, which is a tribute to his mentor Barry Harris. The profoundness of a bop pianist, which he has acquired through his studies, is wonderfully combined with Fukui’s deep Hokkaido feeling, which he has always possessed. This is a masterpiece that should be listened to for years to come.” – Slow Boat
