Scenery (Ryo Fukui album)

This album was virtually ignored in the United States, given that it was released at a time of reduced American interest in jazz.^[1] In the decades since Scenery's release, the album has earned greater critical praise, especially for track "Early Summer". Fukui's dexterity and self-taught style has earned him comparison to such piano greats as McCoy Tyner and Bill Evans.^[2][3]
