John Coltrane 类型: 爵士
发布日期 2019年9月27日 出版发行: Impulse!
The album was recorded at Van Gelder Studio with the Classic Quartet in between the Crescent and A Love Supreme sessions for the film Le chat dans le sac.Director Gilles Groulx was friends with Jimmy Garrison and he used that relationship to request songs for Coltrane's quartet to record.Groulx flew to the United States to attend the recording sessions for Coltrane's only soundtrack work and Coltrane recorded it without informing his record label. After three hours in the studio, Groulx took the master tapes with him to Canada.When the director ended up shelving most of the music, it went unreleased until 2019, when Coltrane's long-time label Impulse! Records decided to release it, with the original composition "Blue World" being released on August 16, 2019 along with the announcement of the album.
The recordings were stored away until the early 21st century, when an archivist from the National Film Board of Canada was tasked with assembling Groulx's work; the government agency negotiated with Impulse! to have the album released. This album comes a year after the successful release of Both Directions at Once: The Lost Album, also from Impulse!, capturing a Classic Quartet session from 1963 and is part of a trend of unreleased albums from 1950s and 1960s jazz greats released in the 2010s.

Finding Gabriel 豆瓣
9.3 (15 个评分) Brad Mehldau Finding Gabriel 类型: 爵士
发布日期 2019年5月17日 出版发行: Nonesuch Records
Brad Mehldau's Finding Gabriel will be released on Nonesuch Records on May 17, 2019. The album comprises nine thematically related songs by Mehldau and features performances by him on piano, synthesizers, percussion, and Fender Rhodes, as well as vocals. Guest musicians include Ambrose Akinmusire, Sara Caswell, Kurt Elling, Joel Frahm, Mark Guiliana, Gabriel Kahane, and Becca Stevens, among others. Full track listing and credits are below.
Mehldau explains, "Finding Gabriel came after reading the Bible closely for the last several years. The prophetic writing of Daniel and Hosea resonated in particular, as well as the wisdom literature of Job and Ecclesiastes, and the devotional words of Psalms. The Bible felt like a corollary and perhaps a guide to the present day—one long nightmare or a signpost leading to potential gnosis, depending on how you read it. The archangel Gabriel appeared to Daniel, telling him, 'At the beginning of your pleas for mercy a word went out, and I have come to tell you, for you are greatly loved. Therefore consider the word and understand the vision.' It seemed that the trick was to listen to Gabriel's words through all the noise and find a way to explain the bedlam, not only to oneself, but to a young person with less of a reference as to what is right-side up—perhaps one's own children.
"In this upside down state of affairs, the prophet is a fool: 'The man of the spirit is mad, because of your great iniquity and great hatred,' Hosea says. He meant that the prophet indeed speaks the truth, but no one believes it anymore—it's all fake news, no matter on which side of the fence you are standing. There is a temptation to make it all go away and escape into even more distraction, but this is only temporary refuge and leads one further into a matrix of falsehood. Eventually one comes up for air with more confusion and maybe even despair. With all the supposed connectivity, it seems that we are more separated from each other than ever, submerged in the deep water of unhappy solitude. Where to turn for the truth? Ask, with a humble heart, listen deeply, and the answers will come.
"The music initially sprang out of a new synth I was discovering—the Dave Smith/Tom Oberheim OB-6 featured on several tracks," Mehldau continues. "I built up many of the tracks beginning with synths and Mark Guiliana on drums, in a process similar to our previous collaboration, Taming the Dragon. Layers were added, and the human voice became an important element—not with text, but as a pure expression of harmony and emotion. I worked with singers I've admired and been close to over the past several years—Becca Stevens, Kurt Elling, and Gabriel Kahane—and sang myself as well. Strings and winds were added and the project became more orchestral, with features from stellar musicians: trumpet player Ambrose Akinmusire, tenor saxophonist Joel Frahm, and violinist Sara Caswell.
"A new experience for me on three of the tracks was to go the opposite as well—doing everything as a one-man band. Both the collaborations and solo flights were a learning experience and full of discovery. John Davis, who engineered and mixed the record, was an integral player from beginning to end at Bunker Studios in Brooklyn, creatively contributing to the sonic landscape and finally putting all the pieces together."

素有“黑暗王子”之称的小号巨擘 Miles Davis (1929-91)是一位奠定50年代酷派(Cool School)冷调风格,开创60年代末期Jazz-Rock 融合(Fusion)新乐风的先锋;受到波普(Bop)时期最具代表性萨克斯风大师Charlie Parker提携,Miles Davis由纽约52街的酒吧表演跨入大乐团,而后自组五重奏的历程,不仅绽放个人深刻色彩,更跨越肤色藩篱成就后起之秀。这张专辑除了获得企鹅爵士五星最高评价,也是各家乐评一致推荐的世纪不朽作品;自1959年发行至今届满四十周年,美国当地销售超越七十万张,全球销售高达两百万张。

“Kind Of Blue”谱写酷派爵士时期,调式爵士(modal)经典代表;由Miles Davis与作曲及钢琴家Bill Evans共同蕴织出主要行进线,以贯穿整张专辑的概念为主轴,藉着其他乐手的加入而渲染蔓延转化层次分明的无际空间。参与本专辑的乐手们在日后皆成为爵士乐界要角,而“Kind Of Blue”也是 Miles Davis五重奏巅峰时期的专辑,每一位乐手表现超高水准。中音萨克风手John Coltrane与Miles共有的灵巧思绪以纯熟的默契化作柔畅的旋律,在最具代表性曲目“So What”中,可以发现两人即兴演奏的精彩绝伦。而高音萨克斯风手“Connonball” Adderley、贝斯名将Paul Chambers和鼓手James Cobb在Miles穿针引线的前导带领,凝聚演绎技巧绝妙境界的最高张力。只出现在“Flamenco Sketches”一曲的钢琴大师Wynton Kelly,同样跟乐手们演出完美契合的对话,专辑还有未曾在黑胶唱片时收录的版本!
