迈尔斯·戴维斯:即兴精酿
Miles Davis:Bitches Brew Douban
(美)乔治·格雷拉 translator: 桂传俍 publishing house: 上海文艺出版社 2019 - 1
迈尔斯•戴维斯的专辑《即兴精酿》仅仅凭借开篇的短短几秒钟,就从流行文化所造就的一切消费体验中脱颖而出,散发出独特的不祥气息。《即兴精酿》是在商业化音乐的音调、节拍、复奏等等套路的大环境下完成的伟大的抽象作品,也是录音时代开启以来最为与众不同的几份宝贵档案之一。这一专辑无论对于爵士乐还是摇滚乐的影响都可以说是翻天覆地的,正如毕加索的《亚维农少女》和斯特拉文斯基的《春之祭》,都是“砰”地一声给旧时代盖上棺材板并在美学与技术层面上打开了全新空间的神作——有着灵歌味和节奏感的先锋音乐,可以让人随之起舞的具体音乐,它用摇滚的方式摆脱了传统爵士乐的固步自封,又以爵士乐的手法似乎嘲弄了摇滚乐的固有界限;为挚爱它的人所憎恶,又为憎恶他的人所钟爱;既包罗万象,又仿佛空无一物,也总是显得比你所理解的更为丰盈。想象一枚由层层叠叠外壳包裹着的牡蛎,最闪耀的珍珠只藏身于其核心。二十五年中迈尔斯•戴维斯一个接一个地打破外壳,而《即兴精酿》正是在最后等待着他到来的那颗珍宝。

《五号屠场》是一部独特的反战小说。作者在小说中塑造了一个对敌无害、对友无益的患精神分裂症的主人公毕利,通过这个傻乎乎的主人公的独特感受,一方面谴责德国法西斯的残暴,另一方面又抨击了盟国轰炸德累斯顿的野蛮行为,嘲笑人类发动战争是多么愚蠢。

Santana & Alice Coltrane genre: Rock
release date 1974-01-01 publisher: CBS
lluminations is a 1974 collaboration between Alice Coltrane and Carlos Santana. Jazz musicians Jules Broussard, Jack DeJohnette and Dave Holland also contributed to the record, on saxophone, flute, drums and bass. Alice Coltrane performs on harp, piano, and Wurlitzer organ and arranged and conducted the string section. Carlos Santana (whose Indian name "Devadip" appears on the sleeve, as Alice's Turiya) plays electric guitar in a minimal style, using feedback, long notes and simple melodies and lending much space to the other instruments. The album is conceived as an instrumental jazz album, with lengthy solos on guitar, saxophone and keyboards. The introduction to "Angel of Air", with its violins, has been sampled by the Cinematic Orchestra. It is his first of three solo albums (the others being Oneness and The Swing of Delight) to be released under his temporary Sanskrit name Devadip Carlos Santana, given to him by Sri Chinmoy. In addition, the usual 2 channel stereo version of the album was also released in 1974 by Columbia Records in a 4 channel quadraphonic version.

这时还是lana del ray AKA lizzy grant,不像五年前单纯的lizzy稚嫩到还在牙牙学语,也不像日后彻底的del rey熟练到icon化。从未正式发行过,我也觉得是她作品的一个巅峰。这是被雪藏的debut,debut词源就是上流社会少女初登社交场,此时她本质堕落的毒、酒、男人、美国梦、洛丽塔情结都发自内心脱口而出得如此自然丰富甚至青春活力,非常debutante气质,本该惹人注目可惜是独角戏。
其实她在专辑上的面貌都很能反映她的心态,这时还是小嫩名媛,成名期是美国名伶,至于nfr是一个新时期了。

Marvin Gaye 把 1971 年专辑《What’s Going On》的标题曲拿给摩城音乐创始人 Berry Gordy 时,据传后者曾表示,那是他听过的最糟糕的东西。音乐太松散,歌词则太政治化。但就连 Elvis Presley 都唱起了抗议歌曲(1969 年的《In the Ghetto》),Marvin Gaye 为什么不可以?<br /><br /> 这张专辑的奥妙就在于那份轻盈。歌曲自在呼吸,演绎自然松弛,甚至有些漫不经心,例如标题曲中负责演奏萨克斯的 Eli Fontaine 录音时甚至以为自己不过是在热身。Sly & The Family Stone 在苦涩的放克里倾泻怒火的同时(1971 年的《There’s a Riot Goin’ On》),Gaye 则用华丽的弦乐和拉丁鼓点表达着他的不满,柔和而且显得老练。哪怕是触及毒品(《Flyin’ High [In the Friendly Sky]》)和贫困问题(《Inner City Blues [Make Me Wanna Holler]》)等严肃主题时,他也轻盈得如同御风而行。这张专辑让我们明白,政治音乐不一定要剑拔弩张,也可以温暖怡人。

Joe Pass genre: Jazz
release date 2004-07-12 publisher: Universal Japan
Japanese reissue of the jazz act's 1970 album. MPS. 2004. Joe Pass recorded almost exclusively for American record labels during his long career, so this 1973 studio date for BASF is a rare exception. With bassist Eberhard Weber and drummer Kenny Clare's brushwork, the legendary guitarist plays a half dozen or so standards, including the gently swinging takes of "Chloe" and "Stompin' at the Savoy," a soft arrangement of Jobim's Meditation," and a very lively version of "I Love You" (also featuring solos by his rhythm section). He also improvises the tasty "Joe's Blue's," plays a light samba written by the session's recording director ("El Gento"), puts some life into the normally dull 1960's pop hit "Ode to Billy Joe" by playing it in a Latin groove, and concludes with the very familiar standard from the Count Basie songbook, "Lil' Darlin'," which he must have performed hundreds of times during his career. While his playing is rather reserved compared to his later extensive recordings for Pablo, and this release is by no means near the top of the late guitarist's considerable discography as a leader or soloist, fans of Joe Pass who manage to locate this long unavailable LP won't be disappointed.
