How Ryo Fukui Marks His Place in Jazz

First video of the new year. I can say that this is a pretty solid video that im pretty proud of. Break is nearing the end and I wont be uploading for a while. I've come to terms with this being a music oriented video essay channel and im just going to continue what I enjoy. Thank you all for your support!

Early summer may be just 2 chords but it sure as hell is beautiful

I just love piano jazz songs, also the fact that fukui's songs often seems way more structurated than big classic of jazz.
To me mellow dream is just one of the best pieces of music I've ever heard.

It's odd. He's one of youtube's most promoted jazz artists and despite the likes of Barry harris mentioning how good he was, the jazz scene pretends like he doesnt exist. And this isn't just true for him: other Japanese cats like Masahiro Sayama (who is such a good pianist please check him out) are also not mentioned in the slightest. I guess there's a bias that tends towards american jazz musicians since jazz is an 'American art-form' just as European classical musicians are given more precedence over their international counterparts. As far as i'm concerned (and from my own personal account at japanese jazz clubs) Japanese jazz musicians seem to be the hippest cats around

I’ve noticed artists like Frank Sinatra and Micheal Buble becoming more popular with my friends and other Gen Zs. Hopefully non-vocal classics and jazz artists like Fukui will continue to grow in popularity again in the 2020s

What makes Ryo so special is his amazing technique as well as the bright well structured melodies that he can play so well. RIP to a legend.

He was a Master that is missed greatly ....and now we have Live at Vidra to make it 6 albums of pleasure of his

[Goyleguy]

This is singlehandedly the most psychedelic jazz album I've ever listened to. The way he just paints with melody and harmony is unparalleled

I’m only 15, and I’ve listened to jazz for a while, but I discovered Fukui a few weeks ago, and he’s for sure my favorite pianist of all time. I wish this genre was more popular among people my age.

Man I wished I wished the algorithm showed your channel to more viewer. Man I really like your videos and it's a shame there isn't enough people viewing it :/

[wei-anhsieh]

dude, I’m sorry you don’t have many subscribers yet. But please keep on making videos. The quality of your videos are amazing and deserve way more views. I promise you’ll blow up one day soon

[mathieujabbour]

Thank you for this beautifully done video

[misterpoultry]

This channel talks about and gives the needed attention to my favourite artists, thanks.

[johnnysins]

Love this, we need more on this guy. Thank you

[joshbottz]

Fukui was one of the first jazz pianists I really connected with. I love his work.

[thealexexperiment]

Just found this channel, dig the vibes

[-mazio-]

Had to sub, such a video quality and amazing structure, Good Job!

[stantalent]

Last time I watched this channel I think there were 27 subscribers and now there’s 430? amazing

[MishaLUL]

This was a really good video. Thanks for making it

Been to his Jazz club in Sapporo but he’s no longer there…

Good grief. You seem to believe that no one ever played jazz on piano without a saxophone before Fukui. You don't know much about jazz, do you? Fukui was a very average pianist: Japan counts dozens, probably hundreds of better jazz pianists. His posthumous acclaim is one of those misterioso internet phaenomena.
