Ryo Fukui

    Since I've been working on some algorithmic piano composition stuff I've been getting more into kinda piano-centric jazz. Ryo Fukui's Scenery has been popping up in my youtube recommendations for like years and people have suggested it to me multiple times but it never really clicked for me until now. This track in particular really does it for me:



    Apparently he only started teaching himself piano in his 20s which makes it that much cooler to me as someone who hasn't seriously perused music in a productive capacity before. It's easy to feel like you're never going to get anywhere if you didn't practice for a billion hours since you were 6 years old or something.

    Anyone else into Fukui? Suggestions for further listening from his discography or other musicians with a similar style?

    fuck anyone who talks shit on the youtube suggest algorithm as a method of music discovery, i actually bought youtube gay for ad free + music subscription purely because the suggestion engine is so good. I just wish there was a "new shit only" mode so it wont loop to stuff I like but I've heard a lot before.

    On topic, jazz piano is my shit. I fucks with jazz piano.

    You might appreciate Chick Corea

    I've been listening to a lot of Monk lately. Marry had a little lamb is about the extent of my abilities with a piano and even I can tell that he played weird as fuck. It's like all he can do is pound on the keyboard but it still ends up sounding really good. I've listened to Straight, No Chaser probably two dozen times in the last week.

    Ya. Ryo Fukui came up to me in my youtube suggestions as well. The algorithm might be good as some might say. But I personally would rather find things for myself.

    Most of the Sims soundtrack is jazz of some sort. Mostly composed by a guy called Jerry Martin

    I don't know him by name, but I listen to piano a lot in the morning or when I am cleaning my apt. He's good.
