Ryo Fukui - Scenery (1976)

This is Ryo Fukui’s <Scenery>.
Although he was not a globally renowned jazz musician during his lifetime, his debut album <Scenery> went viral on Reddit posthumously and gained continuous traction.
It later achieved widespread fame as YouTube’s recommendation algorithm began sharing the record, eventually cementing its place as one of Japan’s most iconic jazz albums.🎹

福居良さんの『Scenery』です。生前、彼は世界的に広く知られた存在ではありませんでしたが、没後に海外のネットコミュニティ「Reddit」でデビューアルバムである本作が紹介され、大きな注目を集めるようになりました。その後、YouTubeのアルゴリズムに推奨されたことで世界的な人気を博し、現在では「日本の三大ジャズ名盤」の一つに数えられるほどの確固たる地位を築いています。🎹
