Live At Vidro 77

Description

A burning heat, an overflowing passion. Here is the Ryo Fukui "in the raw" that no one knew about.This is a completely unreleased live recording, the very one that was the spark behind the album Mellow Dream. Who could have imagined that Ryo Fukui had left behind such an archive? Captured on June 8, 1977 at the Bidoro club in Sapporo, this recording was made by Masataka Ito, the producer behind the cult albums Scenery and Mellow Dream.While it faithfully reproduces the trio's playing of the time, this live performance exudes a passion and freshness absent from the studio sessions, making the listening experience incredibly exhilarating. It reveals a dazzling 16-minute version of "Mellow Dream," a driving "Speak Low," a brilliant "Body & Soul," a catchy "Love For Sale," a powerful "Mr. PC," and a "My Foolish Heart" brimming with sensitivity.
