The appearance of Ryo Fukui's \"new work\". Recorded on June 26, 2004. This is a live recording of a live performance commemorating the 9th anniversary of Slowboat, the jazz live house that Fukui presided over and used as the base of his activities. The members of the trio were Fukui, Kosuke Sakai (bass), and Yoshito Eto (drums). Fukui was 56 years old at the time. His performance was powerful and large-scale, yet delicate and sharp. In terms of the balance of energy, stamina, and technique, he was just approaching his prime. He spins heavy yet elegant renditions of his beloved Phineas Newborn Jr. and Tommy Flanagan, and thrillingly plays Wayne Shorter, who he was a huge fan of in his youth. It is a spectacular performance that reflects the fulfillment of Fukui's time. Slowboat, which opened in June 1995, is celebrating its 30th anniversary this year.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eText by Yusuke Ogawa (UNIVERSOUNDS \/ DEEP JAZZ REALITY)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTRACKLIST \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEclypso (Tommy Flanagan)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRelaxin' at Camarillo (Charlie Parker)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCome Sunday (Duke Ellington)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCookin' at the Continental (Horace Silver)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStella by Starlight (Victor Young)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eJuju (Wayne Shorter)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHarlem Blues (Phineas Newborn Jr.)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eLISTEN\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eAvailable on Desktop \u0026amp; Mobile\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ryo Fukui Trio","offers":[{"title":"2LP \/ Black","offer_id":44133107859647,"sku":"HRLP367-BK","price":64.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0620\/6947\/3471\/files\/ryo-fukui-trio-at-the-slowboat-2004-vinyl-857869.1.jpg?v=1742018656"},{"product_id":"ryo-fukui-trio-ryo-fukui-trio-at-the-slowboat-2004-2lp","title":"Ryo Fukui Trio at the Slowboat 2004 [Japanese Import]","description":"\u003ch3\u003e** This is a PRE-ORDER.

Captured on June 26, 2004, this live session documents the ninth anniversary concert of Slowboat, the jazz club Fukui founded and considered his musical home. The trio features Ryo Fukui on piano, Benisuke Sakai on bass, and Yoshihito Eto on drums. Fukui was 56 years old at the time, and his playing is powerful and expansive, yet still marked by delicacy and razor-sharp precision. In terms of energy, stamina, and technique, he was entering a true period of artistic maturity. He delivers the music of his beloved Phineas Newborn Jr. and Tommy Flanagan with depth and elegance, and approaches the works of Wayne Shorter—an early‑life influence—with thrilling intensity. The performance captures Fukui at a moment of profound fulfillment, offering a truly compelling glimpse into his late-career brilliance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eText by Yusuke Ogawa (UNIVERSOUNDS \/ DEEP JAZZ REALITY)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e※The world is paying close attention to the unparalleled quality of “Made in Japan”.
