Compiling four pieces for four different ensembles, David Lang's writing on water is a free-flowing recording that presents several unusual and rarely revealed facets of the composer who is perhaps most well-known for his monumental choral works (the Pulitzer-winning the little match girl passion and the more recent epic the national anthems), as well as his poignant song cycles (death speaks and love fail). From the struggle between dissonance and melody portrayed in "pierced" to the sweeping, oceanic scope of the title piece, the music defines a path that can be as serpentine as it is rigid ("forced march") or as minimal as it is immense. Riveting performances by Alarm Will Sound, Real Quiet, Crash Ensemble, the London Sinfonietta, Synergy Vocals and more make writing on water an electrifying, free-spirited and rambunctious addition to the Cantaloupe catalog.三级黄色A片免费看
专辑简介:《Wholly Cats》是1995年拉塞尔·马龙(Russell Malone)带领自己的四重奏乐团(钢琴:Larry Willis;贝斯:Rodney Whittaker;鼓手:Yoron Israel)在日本Venus厂牌下录制的。爵士与“猫”的关系,渊源已久,民间各有各的说法。有人说,爵士音乐家就如同“猫”一般,昼伏夜出,体态轻盈灵动,总是依靠自己的本事存活,并且对社会的态度有些轻微的漠然;还有人说,因为“猫叫(the cats meow)”,在美国俗语中代表着最好的质量、最好的演奏家或是人们最想要的东西。不论是何种原因,“Cats”至今都是独属爵士音乐家们互相间的亲昵称呼,而“猫”这一动人生物,更是许多爵士音乐家的心头宝贝。艺术家简介:拉塞尔·马龙,爵士吉他演奏家,曾加入爵士管风琴演奏家Jimmy Smith、Harry Connick大乐团、格莱美天后Diana Krall三重奏等著名爵士团体,参与录制的爵士专辑屡获格莱美提名与获奖。与爵士钢琴演奏家Benny Green组成爵士二重奏并作为领队带领Russell Malone爵士四重奏巡演。合作的著名爵士音乐家还包括Dianne Reeves、Romero Lubambo、爵士颤音琴演奏家Bobby Hutcherson,爵士管风琴演奏家Dr. Lonnie Smith、钢琴家Hank Jones、萨克斯演奏家Sonny Rollins等。与爵士贝斯演奏家Ron Carter组成Golden Striker爵士三重奏。拉塞尔·马龙参与录制的爵士乐专辑有数十张,其中获得格莱美奖的有4张。他是一名掌握各种节奏的大师,是一个不屈不挠的摇摆乐手,从城市和普通的布鲁斯、乡村、福音、美国歌集等各个风格,甚至是硬核爵士乐——用深情的、即时识别的乐器声音,复杂的和声给它们配上音,从不过时。马龙说:“我为自己能够敞开心扉与任何人一起玩音乐而感到自豪。”
