St Thomas Choir of Men and Boys, Gerre Hancock | zh

要不是Miles Davis出生在前，Herbie Hancock将会是有始以来最畅销的爵士乐手。出生於1940年的Herbie Hancock是当今爵士乐史上相当早熟的一位音乐奇才。早在1963年至1968年加入Miles Davis乐团短短的几年之间，就被国际间公认为最有希望成为下一位爵士钢琴大师的人物。而事实上，在与Miles Davis合作稍早，Herbie Hancock1962年於Blue Note发行的首张专辑《Takin'' Off》，就已被当时美国爵士乐界评断为有史以来表现最佳的初试啼声之作，而专辑中由Herbie Hancock作曲的＜Watermelon Man＞更是红极一时，成为Hancock本人第一支爵士经典标准曲目。睽诸历来表现，不容否认，自60年代至今一直保持旺盛创作力的Herbie Hancock确实是当今爵士乐坛中生代中的佼佼者。此次《Ken Burns Jazz》系列单独发行的22位乐手中，大部份均为作古的传奇乐人，仅有Herbie Hancock与Sonny Rollins为至今尚在且具创作力的乐手，由此不难略见Herbie Hancock於当今乐坛受重视的程度。 赫比·汉考 1940年4月12日，Herbie Hancock出生于芝加哥的一个音乐之家。Hancock七岁开始学习钢琴，两年以后就开始他的第一次公开演出。尽管首演时他弹的是古典作品，但 Hancock的兴趣大部分还是在爵士上。高中和大学时期他在一些半专业的乐团中演奏，偶尔有机会为一些造访的爵士乐手伴奏，其中就有Donald Byrd。1961年，Hancock第一次在纽约演出就是和Donald Byrd合作，后来自己建乐团时也和Donald Byrd合作过。 在六十年代早期和中期，Hancock的乐团主要从事俱乐部演出和录音，但真正使他声名鹊起获得广泛承认的是他加入Miles Davis的五重奏以后，他与Miles共同呆了五年多。在与Davis合作的后期，乐队开始演奏Jazz-rock的风格，Hancock对这种风格十分适应，1968年他自己组了一个六重奏追求自己的演奏观念。合作乐手包括Julian Priester、Buster Williams和Eddie Henderson,他们演奏Hancock原创的作品，乐队成为70年代早期最受欢迎和最具影响力Jazz-Rock乐队。 从1969年开始，Hancock广泛使用电钢琴和其他电子乐器，包括合成器。1973年迫于经济压力Hancock将他的乐队削减为四重奏，其中包括特色乐手Bennie Maupin。新乐队的风格还是Fusion，但这次更多偏向于Jazz-Funk。Hancock四重奏的首张专辑《Head Hunters》被刚萌芽的Disco乐界广泛接受而且赢得巨大的销量。整个七十年代其余的时间，Hancock的音乐始终关注于这个领域。由于这十年在 Disco市场的大受欢迎，使得他进一步削减了现场爵士演出。期间他也制作了数张传统爵士专辑，其中有与Chick Corea一起的以及他自己乐队V.S.O.P.的。 1986年Hancock在电影《‘Round Midnight》中出演并演奏，还写了电影的配乐，因此获得学院奖。之后他在爵士乐界更为活跃了，与Tonny Williams，Ron Carter，Michael Brecker其他人一起巡演。这些年Hancock在音乐上的变化疏远了一些喜欢他在Davis乐队时期作品的乐迷。 reimusho转帖 .

Something of a family project, the Boys Air Choir is built around the vocal talents of brothers Connor, Edward and Patrick Burrowes, augmented by young singers recruited from various British school and church choirs. The group was founded in 1996 following Connor's stellar career as a treble soloist with the St. Paul's Cathedral Choir in London. They went on to produce half a dozen beautiful albums, beginning with "Requiem" in 1997. Whether the ensemble will survive the changing of all the young Burrowes voices seems doubtful -- but in any case, they have left a body of recorded work that...
