Reception

The album was virtually ignored in the US, as it came out at a time of reduced interest in jazz in America.[1] However, it was well appreciated by Japanese fans and critics alike.[2] In the decades since Scenery's release, the album has earned greater critical praise. Fukui's dexterity and self-taught style has earned him comparison to such piano greats as McCoy Tyner and Bill Evans.[2][3]

Personnel
gollark: Oh no.
gollark: How come you've got weird punctuation on some of the files like `#node_class.py#` though?
gollark: I mostly prefer to get sort-of-working things done first, and tweak them until they work better, myself. Your thing seems interesting.
gollark: The sidebar bit is going to eventually contain stuff like search and quick shortcuts, but I haven't actually implemented that.
gollark: The current version isn't actually on there because I... don't really know how to use git very well, and it's quite unfinished, and the old version is designed very differently. I have this picture, though, showing its rough UI so far, the markdown rendering capability, and the "recent pages" bit at the side (I might move that).
