そして僕は、途方に暮れる / 大沢誉志幸

 

除夕夜

竟然最應景的是這首：

然後 俺就走投無路。。。。

Shakespeare & Company （莎士比亞書店）

今日偶然在專欄中見到這幅相☝️

當即脫口而出「咦～這不是巴黎的莎士比亞書店？」

為了確認自己記憶無誤，翻看了舊照片。。

住在巴黎的那段時間

經常去莎士比亞書店閒逛

當時的門口是醬子的👇

書店二樓是我長坐的地方

裡面也隔開了幾個小房間，相互通著，

散落著幾張破椅子給人打書釘，

還有木梯方便取下書架頂層的書

其中一間偏房面向靠牆的書架擺了一架舊鋼琴🎹

他們的書沒有怎樣分類，隨便看，愛買不買

想買的就拎去樓下收銀處繳錢

某日，突然一陣美妙的鋼琴聲

於是輕輕走入那間偏房，坐在彈琴者身後，聆聽。。

那是一位不知何方來的遊客

琴藝高超

她只是面對著一面書牆，彈給自己聽

而我，只是一個竊聽者

彈完，她轉身，見到我，不出聲音地給她鼓掌，相對一笑

那個片刻實在美妙

忍不住按下快門留下記憶

喔，看到她右邊👉那張綠色的破椅子嗎？

應該就是第一張☝️相中的那張～～因為整日都會被人搬來搬去的哈哈

帰りたい京都。。。

 

回不去的是故鄉。。。

Happy New Year 2021 🎈

 

新的一年

卑微的願望：

願生活一切如常🙏

For her latest project, the young Catalan trombonist and singer Rita Payés joins forces with her mother Elisabeth Roma who is also an exceptional classical guitarist. Mother and daughter will be launching their debut album during the London Catalan Festival, giving their personal take on the music that has accompanied them all their lives, from traditional Catalan lullabies to bossa nova, fado, boleros… For this particular performance, the duo will be joined on stage by bassist Magali Datzira (Sant Andreu Jazz Band) and percussionist Juan Berbín. This family project started when Rita booked a two-day studio session for Elisabeth as a birthday present in June 2018. Rehearsing and preparing for that session, they re-evaluated and strengthened their repertoire and arrangements. It was then when they decided to take the project further and release it as their debut album. The album will be released later this year (2019).

Rita (20) has lived and breathed music since she was a child thanks to her musical family. She studied piano, and later trombone which later became her main instrument. In 2017 she entered the well-known Sant Andreu Jazz Band, and under the direction of bassist and tenor player Joan Chamorro, she recorded several albums along with Andrea Motis, Eva Fernandez and Magali Datzira: some of the artists who performed in last year’s London Catalan Festival. With Chamorro she also released the album “Joan Chamorro presents Rita Payés” featuring Scott Hamilton, Dick Oats, Scott Robinson, Toni Belenguer, and Jo Krause among others. Rita has performed in some of the most venerated stages and festivals in the country and abroad, such as Barcelona Jazz Festival, Jamboree Jazz Club, L’Auditori de Barcelona, Barnaswing, Summer Festivals in several villages of Catalonia as well as venues in France and Switzerland.

Elisabeth has a classical musical background but she has always been inspired by Latin American music, especially bossa nova, from the voices of Jobim, Chico Buarke, and Elis Regina amongst others. Besides her work as a music educator (Bruc Conservatoire), she has performed as a classical guitarist for most of her career, both as a soloist and in larger ensembles. Two of her most successful projects were duos: guitar duo with the late Victor Valls, and cello and guitar duo with the Brazilian cellist Ana Moreira. Elisabeth also participated in the two albums that Rita recorded with Joan Chamorro. Elisabeth has incorporated her visions of a classical guitar into the repertoire that she plays with Rita, using her excellent musicality and techniques and combining them with the personal sounds of Rita’s melodies and improvisations.

This project is a meeting point between two generations, two points of view. It’s neither strictly jazz nor classical. It’s a highly personal interpretation of Rita’s and Elisabeth’s favourite music.

Trumpet – Terumasa Hino 日野 皓正　25歳

Tracklist:

B3. Blunch (B-Lunch)

Label: Takt Jazz Series / Columbia

Vinyl, LP, Album, Reissue, Gatefold Sleeve

日野皓正は 25歳になったばかり。 弟で天才の日野元彦は 21歳（惜しくも 53歳で早世）。

ピアノの大野雄二は 26歳。 かっこいいベースを弾く稲葉国光は 33歳。

タイトル曲 「Alone, Alone And Alone」 が三度目にして初めて国内で録音されたのが本作。

そして日本でのデビュー作。 1965年にベルリンで録音された 『SAKURA SAKURA』 は

Saba レーベルから出たもので 「Alone, Alone And Alone」 の二度目の録音を収録。

一度目はブルー‧ミッチェルが 1965年7月に録音した 『Down With It !』 に収録。

いい曲ですねぇ。 何度聴いても飽きません。 本場アメリカのジャズメンが聴きほれるほど

ですから本物のバラードです。

オリジナル盤で A面の一曲目に配されている 「Soulful」 はアグレッシブで日本人らしく

ない曲調です。 本作 5曲中 4曲を自身が作曲し、白木秀雄氏から独立して意欲満々の

作品だったのです。 ただ、わたしが思うベストトラックはスタンダードの 「Summertime」。

アレンジがクールで都会的でスマートで かっこいい。 とにかく このころのヒノテル氏は

かっこよさが身上でした。 1970年に Canyon Records に移籍したころから あまり感心

できなくなりました。 やはり takt 時代がキラリ光っていて良かったのです。

上のジャケット写真は、タクト電機株式会社と日本コロムビアが業務提携し、1970年に

再発売したときのもの（takt Jazz XMS 10023-CT）です。 これはこれで いい雰囲気です。

タイトル曲が A面一曲目に配されました。
