日本東芝曾企劃出版六十首Blue Note唱片經典樂曲六十首精選,是認識所謂Hard Bop與Straightahead曲風的好管道

文 / 謝啟彬


不知道這六十首曲子的音樂演奏法,以及演奏者、版本專輯出處,大概沒有辦法在日本爵士樂壇混了!

因為在日本全國各地的爵士樂俱樂部,都會有這種愛聽三〇到六〇年代爵士樂的樂迷出沒或常駐啊!也都成了日本爵士樂手的Standard了!

這是日本的唱片代理商針對Blue Note品牌所精選的六十首Classic,只有主題與前面一點即興,所以大概都一分半鐘內,全部聽完正好一小時二十分鐘,不但可以熟悉那些旋律與律動呼應,也可以體會全部都是同一位爵士樂歷史上,最有名的錄音師Rudy Van Gelder的經典錄音美學跟時代氣味,在日本他們會說很“昭和”,跟我們現在講文青有點類似哦!
