发烧大提琴 豆瓣
Teresa Perez & Tim Janis Ensemble
发布日期 2003年11月10日 出版发行: Fim [1st Impression]
Fim 推出的每一张录音定必珍而藏之,最近在Leo主编的杂志为文缴赞他们的新结他天碟 《Flamenco Passion》之时,猛然发现之前所推出的一张《Oh!That Cello》还未欣赏过半点,更甚连包装袋也未拆,细心聆听一遍,在惊叹音效靓绝之馀,也怪自己差点走了宝。本碟在著名的Skywalker Sound录制,于是急急赶到好友家中,以近期的喇叭新贵 TAD的 TSM 300喇叭,由头再试听一次(皆因 Skywalker 的录音室正是采用TSM300作监听)。啊!这个录音认真不得了,若我硬要把本碟的每一个发烧元素详细论述的话,恐怕写一千字也不够,但当然不能以‘天碟’二字作草草收笔。
全碟十一首轻松小品相信是 Fim 的脑马先生的细意挑选,连《夜来香》也纳入其中,可说是中西经黄荟萃了,对我们来说大部份曲目也非常熟悉,但马兄仍请来看青作曲家Tim Jamis为每首歌重新编曲,令在家有耳目一新的感觉。
本碟依旧由马兄的老拍档兼著名录音师 Paul Stubblebine 亲自泡制。然后再把母带交到日本的JVC 总部,以XRCD2重新处理,结果大提琴的音色与结像靓到无懈可击,就连伴奏的乐器如笛子、双簧管、钢琴、小提琴及敲击乐器也有真实无论的音色和质感,同类录音达如此音效的百中无一。
《Oh!That Cello》是有"一听钟情"(FIM)掌门人马濬先生亲自监制的一张抒情爵士,由美国著名大提琴手TeresaPerez执弓,著名录音师Paul Stubblebin在"SkyWalker"天行者录音室一手炮制(正是这间录音室制作了获奥斯卡最佳音响奖的《星球大战》及《泰坦尼克号》电影声轨),音质几近无暇。
专辑包含的曲目更是纵横百年,横跨东西,贝多芬第六交响曲、拉克曼尼诺夫的帕格尼尼钢琴独想曲、萧邦钢琴夜曲,甚至是风行30年代上海的《夜来香》也包含其中,实是一张不可多得的大提琴经典之作。
Satchmo Blows Up the World 豆瓣
作者: Penny M. Von Eschen 出版社: Harvard University Press 2006 - 9
At the height of the ideological antagonism of the Cold War, the U.S. State Department unleashed an unexpected tool in its battle against Communism: jazz. From 1956 through the late 1970s, America dispatched its finest jazz musicians to the far corners of the earth, from Iraq to India, from the Congo to the Soviet Union, in order to win the hearts and minds of the Third World and to counter perceptions of American racism.

Triplicate 豆瓣
Bob Dylan 类型: 摇滚
发布日期 2017年3月31日 出版发行: Columbia
Triplicate, is the new three disc studio album from Bob Dylan. The collection features 30 brand-new recordings of classic American tunes and marking the first triple-length set of the artist's illustrious career. With each disc individually titled and presented in a thematically-arranged 10-song sequence, Triplicate showcases Dylan's unique and much-lauded talents as a vocalist, arranger and bandleader on 30 compositions by some of music's most lauded and influential songwriters. The Jack Frost-produced album is the 38th studio set from Bob Dylan and marks the first new music from the artist since Fallen Angels, which was released in early 2016.
For Triplicate, Dylan assembled his touring band in Hollywood's Capitol studios to record hand-chosen songs from an array of American songwriters such as Charles Strouse and Lee Adams ("Once Upon A Time"), Harold Arlen and Ted Koehler ("Stormy Weather"), Harold Hupfield ("As Time Goes By") and Cy Coleman and Carolyn Leigh ("The Best Is Yet To Come"). The titles of the individual discs are 'Til The Sun Goes Down, Devil Dolls and Comin' Home Late. According to Bob Dylan, "I am finding these great songs to be a tremendous source of inspiration that has led me to one of my most satisfying periods in the studio. I've hit upon new ways to uncover and interpret these songs that are right in line with the best recordings of my own songs, and my band and I really seemed to hit our stride on every level with Triplicate."
Dylan's two previous album of classic American songs, 2016's Fallen Angels and 2015's Shadows in the Night, were both worldwide hits and garnered Grammy Award nominations in the category of Best Traditional Pop Vocal Album. Both albums received worldwide critical acclaim, with Randy Lewis writing of Fallen Angels in The Los Angeles Times, "[Dylan] immediately liberates songs from the big band/big orchestra world from which they emerged, and in which they are most frequently revisited…. [He] reaches to the blues at the core of many of these songs. Thus, they elicit the ache of romantic yearning and loss that often gets subsumed by swelling orchestral forces, background choirs or by singers who are more focused on crafting elegant vocals than finding emotional resonance." The Telegraph's Neil McCormick awarded Shadows in the Night five out of five stars and described the work as "spooky, bittersweet, mesmerizingly moving [with] the best singing from Dylan in 25 years." Jon Pareles wrote of that album in the New York Times, "Mr. Dylan presents yet another changed voice…a subdued, sustained tone….Shadows in the Night maintains its singular mood: lovesick, haunted, suspended between an inconsolable present and all the regrets of the past."
Bob Dylan has sold more than 125 million records around the world.
迈尔斯·戴维斯自传 豆瓣
Miles: The Autobiography
8.4 (5 个评分) 作者: 迈尔斯·戴维斯 / 昆西·特鲁普 译者: 孙侃 / 李奇 出版社: 湖南人民出版社 2014 - 1
爵士大师迈尔斯•戴维斯逝世20多年来留下的唯一自传!
从13岁时得到生命中第一支小号起,迈尔斯就认定爵士便是他的命运。他在19岁时就已经和当时的爵士大师“大鸟”和“眩晕”同台;23岁组建了自己的第一支乐队,正式确立属于自己独一无二的爵士风格。他从不沉溺于已有的音乐曲调,也不在乎评论和观众是否买账,他的一生只在乎创新,接连缔造了冷爵士、硬波普、调式爵士、融合爵士等多种音乐风格,即使后浪不断推来,但几次音乐潮流的带领者依然是他。如果没有迈尔斯,爵士乐必不会像今天这样丰富多彩。
而迈尔斯的人生也同他的音乐一样,传奇多变——他曾深陷毒瘾4年之久,又完全凭借自己的意志力克服毒瘾,从泥沼走向巅峰。他曾深受疾病困扰,沉寂6年之久,55岁时却突然复出,再掀乐坛风云。他荣获9座格莱美奖杯,含1次终身成就大奖,却在颁奖现场公然质疑格莱美的种族偏见。他受邀白宫宴会,却敢在面对不礼貌的待遇时当场翻脸:“我这一生做的事,就是将音乐潮流改变了五六次。那么你呢?”
迈尔斯是爵士乐辉煌时期的最好记述者。他回忆起和“大鸟”、“眩晕”、蒙克、科川、明格斯等多位爵士界风云人物的深厚友谊,牵扯马龙•白兰度、伊丽莎白•泰勒、芭芭拉•史翠珊、萨特、里根等各界名人的八卦逸事,漫谈几十年乐坛风云,让人唏嘘不已。
在这本传记中,迈尔斯用最直接的方式向你道来他的传奇一生,有关音乐和大师;有关社会万象;有关人生巅峰和低谷间的绝望、意志、奇迹;有关那个令人不断回望的传奇时代。
