专辑介绍:
古典爵士四重奏的四位成员分别由钢琴手Kenny Barron，低音大提琴手Ron Carter，颤音琴手兼打击乐手Stefon Harris 和 鼓手Lewis Nash 组成。曲风自成一格，虽没 European Jazz Trio 那般细腻 但却多了份自得其乐的自在，是少数能成功诠释古典乐的爵士组合。
Stefon Harris
年轻的爵士颤音琴手兼打击乐手Stefon Harris，在他比今天更年轻时的志愿并不是要成为一个爵士乐手，而是立志要进入纽约爱乐〈New York Philharmonic〉玩古典音乐。好在后来当Harris第一次听到Charlie Parker的音乐后，马上打消了作古典音乐家的念头，转身便投入了爵士乐的世界里。因此，早已在天堂里快活似神仙的Charlie Parker，上帝必须在祂的功劳簿上替他再加上一笔。
http://jiki.com.tw/phonograph/View.asp?No=6904 The Swingin' Nut, which really doesn't swing due to Belden's overreliance on a vamp behind the solos rather than having the musicians improvise upon its theme. Better are the driving post-bop setting of Marche Touche and Blues à la Russe (a splendid reworking of Russian Dance ), which showcase Barron and Harris, along with the introspective Groove of the Sugar Plum Fairy and the breezy, swinging Vaunce of the Flowers. The musicianship is at a high level throughout the session; Carter's fluid basslines and Nash's subtle percussion are essential to the date. Recommended. ~ Ken Dryden
The Classical Jazz Quartet recorded Tchaikovsky's The Nutcracker Suite at Avatar Studios, New York, August 21 22, 2001. The quartet features Kenny Baron on piano, Ron Carter on bass, Stefon Harris on vibes/marimba and Lewis Nash on drums. Produced by
Recorded at Avatar Studios, New York, New York on August 21-22, 2001. Includes liner notes by Bob Belden.
Personnel: Bob Belden (arranger); Stefon Harris (vibraphone, marimba); Kenny Barron (piano); Ron Carter (bass); Lewis Nash (drums).
Down Beat (12/01, p.63) - 3.5 stars out of 5 - ...A fine new band...uses hints of themes from 'The Nutcracker' as send-offs for percolating jazz treatments...
The Classical Jazz Quartet Play Rachmaninov
One of a series of sessions featuring Bob Belden's arrangements for the Classical Jazz Quartet, this volume focuses exclusively on one piece, Sergei Rachmaninov's Piano Concerto No. 2 in C Minor. As a result, this is by far the most ambitious project tackled by the quartet, though Kenny Barron, Stefon Harris, Ron Carter and Lewis Nash are more than up to the task. Belden subdivides each movement into several parts. For example, the first movement is initially played in a fairly straight-ahead manner, followed by a brisk post-bop segment, a slow blues, a quiet ballad, and finally, a mid-tempo bop setting. The musicians never allow themselves to get stuck in a rut, thanks to their ability to flesh out Belden's conception. In any case, the crossover effect of this recording is more likely to get jazz fans not already familiar with Rachmaninov's original work to investigate it versus classical fans seeking out this extensive revision of his landmark piece.
引用Having been an ardent listening fan of both Classical (favorites being Bach and Mozart) and Jazz for 50 plus years I have always looked for and enjoyed when excellent Jazz musicians have used well known Classical themes and wrapped them in swinging Jazz arrangements. The Modern Jazz Quartet Blues On Bach , The Swingle Singers Jazz Sebastien Bach , Anyone For Mozart, Bach, Handel, Vivaldi? and A Cappella Amadeus-Bach Hits Back are a few in my CD collection. A wonderful DVD Swinging Bach featuring Bobby McFerrin and Guests, Live from the Market Square in Leipzig, Germany, distributed by Image Entertainment is a must view for serious Jazz and Classical fans.
This is the first time I have felt the need to write a review although many times a purchaser's review, in addition to the music samples etc., has been instrumental (no pun intended) in my ultimate purchase decision one way or the other. Therefore, I was totally taken back by the review Enraged related to the original issue of this album back in 2002, in which the reviewer indicated that it was one of the most offensive albums I have ever heard in my life and that he is sure that Bach must be rolling over in his grave . Well, I take great offensive to his review and comments (as did another individual who wrote a direct comment to the review). Bach was, I believe, one of the greatest writers of melody in addition to his wonderful use polyrhythems and probably in the early 18th century was way ahead of his time . I have also read that he took great pleasure in improvising when working out his melodies and themes when writing new material for the next Sundays service or using old pieces modified (improvised?) to create new ones. I rather think that Bach, as opposed to rolling over in his grave , would instead be toe tapping four on the floor and snapping his fingers on 2 and 4!!
This is an outstanding collection of music, performed by four outstanding accomplished musicians: Kenny Barron, piano; Stefon Harris, vibes marimba; Ron Carter, base and Lewis Nash, drums. They are in total sinc and really swing throughout. This CD is a special treat even for the jazz lover who knows nothing about Classical, or visa versa!! So go buy it.....and if it turns you on, check out the related items I have noted above. I came across this group The Classical Jazz Quartet when flipping through an old 2006 Jazz Times magazine in the new release review section. The group has other albums out where they swing over Rachmaninov, Tchaikovsky and Tchaikovsky' Nutcracker. They even have a Christmas album, which based on the music samples, sounds terrific. They are next up on my wish list , but first I have to put Bach back on to listen again.
