Interview with Metheny & Mehldau 1/2

以Jazz為名的飲料,會聽爵士樂的人都應該是瘦子嗎?
或者是一群想keep fit的族群吧!

其實我很少喝可樂,單純是看到JAZZ這四個英文單字湊在一起而引起了我的注意,很像日式的飲料包裝手法,官網也做得很有意思,希望有機會能喝喝看囉!
(台灣目前應該是找不到的吧)

Brad Mehldau的新標準曲 
提到了他喜歡將搖滾樂改編成爵士樂曲子來演奏,音樂的確是需要結合不同元素的,誰說爵士樂就不能搖滾不能古典呢! 

Don't Explain / 2004爵士樂十大專輯 
看小威老師特地挑了一張B.M.為朋友Joel Frahm踦刀的專輯,應該很適合我的口味吧!  

還有超級大樂迷的完整介紹:

在Brad Mehldau官網有一些現場演奏的畫面可回味一番,
目前tour上還留著: September 9 / National Concert Hall / Taipei, Taiwan
慶幸自己有去聆聽這場在音樂廳裡難得完美的演出. 這位和我同世代的鋼琴手真是不可錯過的大師!!

演出者
Brad Mehldau, Piano
Larry Grenadier, Bass
Jeff Ballard, Drums

可能的話,還真想能去這一場:

爵士 + 星空 + 音樂會

這個名字實在是太吸引人了

這樣的組合怎麼可以不去看看呢?

728那晚的台北看不到幾顆星星

徐徐的涼風吹來倒是非常的舒適

很想就直接躺在草地上來聽Jazz  數僅有的一兩顆星星

戶外音樂會就是要自在舒服的

有爸爸媽媽帶著5~6歲的小孩

有人抱著狗狗一起搖擺

當然有更多的男男女女...

可惜的是...

因為當天才知道這個消息

如果能多找幾個好朋友們一同去欣賞會更完美吧!

8/20 Kenny Garrett Quartet

聽音樂開心就好,這是我從Kenny Garrett那晚的演出所體會到的,他不斷地用手勢要求觀眾跟著樂曲作出回應,真的很令我訝異,在國家音樂廳能夠聽到這麼High的音樂會,而且是純音樂性質,我想除了是爵士樂本身具備的瘋狂性之外,四位熱情年輕的演出者當然是最重要的主角.
雖然整場聽下來大概只知道中間有演奏了得一首:阿里郎,其他曲目是什麼我根本完全不了解,而且一開場的前兩首還是會有一點鴨子聽雷的情形,(也有可能是我的位置視野不夠好,所以我的頭必須一直往前傾),不過,那有什麼關係呢?看著樂手之間的互動,一曲兩曲聽下來就完全能進入狀況了,到了後半場更是像 Jazz 'N Jazz 提到的 High翻天之無限輪迴 這種狀況,也對,這場是名叫夏日爵士派對的活動,參加party怎能不盡興呢?何必ㄍㄧㄥ在那裡安靜地聆聽,站起來跟著節奏鼓掌擺動身體才對嘛!最後大家一起玩了一首安可曲,玩到最High的時候ending,散場時全身無力,真得很過癮又大開眼界呢!

一般而言,正確的說應該算是我以前自以為是的刻版印象,總以為小喇叭 (trumpet) 就一定是尖銳刺耳,薩克斯風 (saxophone) 就一定溫柔多情,在'Round About Midnight這張專輯裡,邁爾士戴維斯就有本事可以把小喇叭吹得輕柔俏皮,也可以陰沉憂鬱,中音薩克斯風手約翰科川更是不讓主角邁先生專美於前,用自信流暢的飽滿音色來和邁對話,總之我很喜歡這一整張的選曲詮釋,整體而言,它是令人非常愉悅的聆聽感受,所買到的日本版更是讓我愛不釋手的加分關鍵.最重要的當然還是音樂本身哦!

應該就是Make Someone Happy吧?在我的腦袋一片混亂快打死結的時候還能注意到的,就是這一首吧?...還是...說不定是What Kind of Fool am I?.........第五首People把3.4首的情緒延續下來,似乎就是這麼平靜下來的吧...

Alone(Again)是Bill Evans較後期的作品,1975年12月在加州Berkeley的Fantasy Studios錄音的專輯,不是那麼為大家所熟知的一張,在How My Heart Sings一書裡寫著...Evans在聽到了Marian McPartland在Monterey的演奏後,很希望能像她一樣...,因此決定再次挑戰solo,而後錄製了這張專輯,有機會的話可以一個人聽聽看~

CD封底上印著......Perhaps he was concerned about revealing as much of himself as he does in these pieces.
