Live at Vidro '77
Surging intensity, erupting passionâhere lies the raw, unfiltered Ryo Fukui that no one has heard before. A completely unreleased live recording that became the spark for the creation of Mellow Dream.
Who could have imagined that Ryo Fukui had left behind a recording like this? Captured on June 8, 1977, this previously unreleased live session was recorded at the Sapporo jazz club Vidro by Masataka Ito, the producer behind Fukuiâs albums Scenery and Mellow Dream. It is unmistakably the Ryo Fukui Trio of that era, yet the performance possesses an overwhelming intensity and freshness that far surpass any studio recordingâexcitement in its purest form.
The 16âminute, searing performance of âMellow Dreamâ is just the beginning. The propulsive energy of âSpeak Lowâ, the beautifully woven lyricism of âBody & Soul,â the blistering drive of âLove For Saleâ, the weighty depth of âMr. P.C.â, and the crystalline fragility of âMy Foolish Heartââeach track is delivered with feverish brilliance. It was this very live recording, excerpts of which were evaluated at the Trio Records headquarters at the time, that ultimately led to the production of Fukuiâs second album Mellow Dream. In every sense, this is an extraordinarily precious document.
