天氣太冷乖乖回家練個爵士~
Clifford Brown - Joy Spring
練爵士曲目陣痛最久的其中一首就是小號手Clifford Brown在1954年以他妻子的小名寫下的這首歡樂轉調代表作”Joy Spring”(感覺婚姻應該充滿樂趣)。
本來是純器樂演奏的曲目,1985年作詞家Jon Hendricks為其填詞,才有了人聲的版本,這類本是器樂曲而後填詞變成歌手也可以唱的爵士經典統稱為Vocalese。
但我唱的詞是瑞典阿卡貝拉天團 The Real Group改的版本,比較好唱⋯
上英文課囉!詞有夠多!

Isn't spring your favorite season
Watchin' the flowers bloomin' up from the ground
Watchin' the snow melt down, boy
You may dig winter, boy, but spring is my joy
It's got me feelin' so glad
The days are breezy
You've got the time to say "hello" and give a smile
Feelin' real good is in style
You may dig winter, boy
But spring is my joy
It's something special
Haven't you observed
It makes glad to be alive
It's not absurd
To say that spring helps you survive
The winter's long miserable snow and rain
It gives you hope to know
That spring will get a refrain
You only have to believe
The day is comin'
The world is hummin'
Thinkin' about how good it will be
And that goes double for me
You may dig winter, boy, but spring is my joy

【Down the memory lane!】
這個大概兩年前的演出,我剛剛都是第一次把它看完。我甚少重温自己的演出,皆因我很多時都唔特別滿意自己表現,「尷尬症」會發作。如果不是有朋友分享了,我都應該不會再觀看,但最近確實有點「念舊」,便回顧這十多年來做過的東西,發現原來自己都做了頗多一時也記不起的事情。
這條影片雖然有點「渣像」,但capture了一次頗珍貴的演出,感謝Marvin用手機拍下了。這首歌名叫《高速鐵路》,是收錄喺鍾氏兄弟 The Chung Brothers《極》大碟內的一首當時冇plugged的歌。我哥哥寫的歌詞以高速列車來寓意匆匆的人生中,我們可否學習或嘗試欣賞途中景色。有幾個亮點值得留意:
1. Boogie Woogie + 中段Steely Dan-style變奏(錄音的版本有和音更明顯)
2. All-Star Band: Eugene Pao (guitar) 、Billy Chan (piano/bandleader)、Blaine Whittaker (Sax)、Henry Chung (Harmonica)、Sylvain Gagnon (Bass)、Anthony Fernandes (drums)
3. Henry在intro用藍調口琴吹奏出蒸氣火車聲
4. 三個extended instrumental solos: Eugene, Henry, and Billy
5. 一個Saxophone + Vocal的”Soli” — 即是將樂器吹奏句子填上了歌詞,再與樂器同步唱/奏出的其中一種Vocalese類型
現在聽返,這演出還是頗回味的,在此與大家分享!
P.S. 希望有高清版存擋
