“男巫 ” 倒不是别人送给的绰号，而是Jason Mraz对自己的形容。没有多少人会对这个形容表示怀疑，毕竟对于一个习惯于在夜酒吧里弹吉他吟唱些充满着迷离忧伤调的男孩， “ 男巫 ” 这样的形容恐怕是恰到好处。而一旦浮出水面被主流的 Elektra 唱片公司收编后，Jason Mraz仿佛就不太愿意再用 “ 男巫 ” 来形容自己了，他更愿意将自己打造成一个充满着阳光味道的大男孩，宛如自己的音乐风格：混杂着民谣、拉丁与电子。而这个 27 岁的小伙子之所以在过去的一年里成为美国乐坛的焦点人物，除了一副嗓子加一手漂亮的吉他外，他还坚持原创 —— 美国人总是格外推崇那种会唱会弹又会创作的音乐人 —— 即使有人说大概这还是美国式的个人英雄主义意识在作怪，但一个不争的事实是，美国乐坛已经越来越少这种全能的歌手了！不过对于更多Jason Mraz的拥趸来讲，两张唱片《 Waiting For My Rocket To Come CD 》和《 Mr.A-Z 》的诱惑力，远不及他的现场（ LIVE ）来得过瘾：又蹦又跳，嗓音常有意想不到的即兴发挥，甚至还突然颓废一下，再加上那张酷似英国明星休·格兰特的忧郁气质的脸，混杂在一起，还是恰如一个男巫，清新而活力的男巫。 当所有乐评皆连番盛赞他的声音完美的像水晶般晶莹剔透，所有美国网路爱乐者都在悄悄讨论他和今年葛莱美最佳男歌手 John Mayer究竟孰优孰劣，并说他的Live表演简直是此乐只有天上有的独一无二精彩演出，你开始好奇的想好好认识这个现在美国乐坛少见的天才型流行/民谣创作歌手—Jason Mraz。来自维吉尼亚朴实小镇，长得眉清目秀乍看有些休葛兰影子的Jason现年35岁，音乐生涯的启蒙者是也来自维吉尼亚的两大美式传统摇滚大角The Agents of Good Root和大卫马修乐团(Dave Matthews Band)，但Jason真正接触音乐却是从中学时搬到纽约上美国音乐影艺学院开始。18岁时Jason却发现自己即刻真正想要的是音乐创作，毅然辍学并拾起吉他开始他在曼哈顿的音乐浪人之旅。在落脚加州圣地牙哥并在当地的酒馆常态表演后，Jason遇到影响他最深远的鼓手Toca Rivera，他多样化的部落打击鼓乐让Jason音乐充满惊奇和富变化性，他俩的精彩现场演出也在整个西岸和网路间流传，也因而为Jason赢得一纸Elektra唱片合约。 .

The thing about getting to know Jason Gray is that you immediately want to share him with other people. In that way Jason is a lot like a good movie, or a great book, or some barely discovered band whose music makes you remember what it was you liked about music in the first place. Which brings us full circle, because Jason’s unique brand of emotional, thought-provoking, alternative-pop is that sort of music, and listening to it isn’t much different than having Jason Gray sitting in your living room and telling you what’s on his mind. In either case, you...

Jason Eli Becker (born July 22, 1969) is an American neo-classical metal guitarist and composer. At the age of 16, he became part of the Mike Varney-produced duo Cacophony with his friend Marty Friedman. They released Speed Metal Symphony in 1987 and Go Off! in 1988. Cacophony broke up in 1989 and Becker began doing solo work, having released his first album Perpetual Burn in 1988. He later joined David Lee Roth's band and recorded one album with him. However, Becker's success was hampered by his then-diagnosed amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (Lou Gehrig's Disease) and he was given three to five...

For anyone looking to brand Jason Aldean as part of a significant musical movement, good luck. There’s a lot about the singer that’s become familiar during his five years as a country hitmaker, after all, he has spent more weeks at #1 on the radio charts than any other country artist in the last 12 months. But none of what he does comes out quite like anyone else. The blues-tinged licks at the end of his phrases—there’s a ring of familiarity about them, but you can’t really link them to another artist. The smoky guitar riffs that have become a...
