New "regular edition" on 140-gram vinyl. We Release Jazz present the official reissue of criminally overlooked Japanese jazz gem Mellow Dream by Hokkaido pianist wunderkind Ryo Fukui, originally released in 1977. Firmly standing on the foundation of his debut Scenery, Fukui continues to explore modal, bop, and cool jazz sounds on his second. Mellow Dream ventures into slightly mellower, more soulful, and sometimes more contemplative territories, while still packing a commanding punch.
