秉持的信念,除了在地推廣爵士文化之外,更盡可能在每次活動中試著去融合不同的文化元素,因為我們相信:每個人都可以找到至少一種心愛的爵士風格。

 

講到西班牙~你會想到哪些爵士專輯? Miles Davis與Gil Evans合作的專輯【Sketches of Spain】?Chick Corea的融合大作【My Spanish Heart】? 你知道的西班牙爵士音樂家又有哪些?眼盲的鋼琴大師 Tete Montoliu?近年重新演繹Sketches of Spain而聲名大噪的鋼琴家 Chano Dominguez?還是Brad Mehldau長期合作的鼓手Jorge Rossi?你知道殖民者將西班牙傳統舞曲節奏帶到美洲,進而影響了滋養爵士樂的重要元素Afro-Cuban節奏嗎?

 

來吧~ 這個下午我們請到團長是正統西班牙人的José Stewart Band,為我們帶來一個半小時滿滿的南歐風格,來感受一下José Stewart恣意熱情的鼓擊、張瑛蘭感性與知性兼具的長笛語彙,與爵士圈bass新星劉育嘉堅強的低頻守備,三人將會如何經營這最最纖細敏銳的極簡三重奏!

 

Jazz Quiz time! How many Spain-cross-Jazz elements we could think of ? Epic cool jazz / third stream album “Sketches of Spain” made by the great Miles Davis and Gil Evans? Another fusion jazz masterpiece “My Spanish Heart” of Chick Corea’s; How about jazz musicians from Spain? To name few like Tete Montoliu, Chano Dominguez, Jorge Rossi… Do you even know that during the colonial years, traditional dance beats Habanera was introduced to America and gave birth to the rhythm often using later in Latin and Jazz music?

 

How about having some Spanish-flavor music. The bandleader José Stewart is directly from Spain, with his band is a newly rising force in Jazz / World Fusion society in Taiwan, several of their projects were sounding great and classy ! The band members are also famous players in Taiwan: Flutist Ing-Lan Chang praised by her lyrical yet creative language; Bassist Jack Liu’s bass line fits every style of music, and made the trio solid and grooving. The show is coming on March 17th at the night time. You’re have a very very cozy, relaxed and energetic moments in SAPPHO~ See you then~
