原創的迪克西蘭爵士樂 樂隊。

Jazz had been evolving for almost a decade before it was recorded – and a white New Orleans band called the Original Dixieland Jazz Band beat all the superior Southland black bands to it. The ODJB were a raucous but lively five-piece influenced by the sound of Louis Armstrong mentor King Oliver's New Orleans groups. In 1917, following a successful New York run, the band cut tracks in the Victor studios that sold massively and launched a global jazz craze.

微引


原曲:Electro Deluxe – Wisdom






作詞: 泯均 (本非譯文  I don't own this song)
天空仍下著雨
彷彿傾吐衷曲
和聲輕啟步履
攸攸絡雨意域
水面綿延幾里
絲絲清透暗印
轉眼好似倒影
懸浮如你的心
那牽隙
那粼粼
閃爍隱縭未息
那漣漪
那眩暱
讓那境時過醞析
點點解愁替
凝靜傾聽雨律
微風飄香茉莉
祈淺劃逸情趣
延延幽幽新語
~~~~
*微影滲透線繫之間
傾瀉流轉時計訡煙
縹杳薄霧渺渺所牽
傾刻縱逝為何留戀
 
微影滲透線繫之間
~~~~
凝眸傾聽雨霏
延延幽幽新迴
祈淺劃逸暗對
讓那時境 微引 點點解愁非

在你的爵士樂歷史版本你會將什麼涵蓋進去?

What would you include in your version of the history of jazz?

In a seven-part series, Guardian and Observer writers are trying to tell the history of modern music. Rounding everything off, today they pick out 50 key moments in the story of jazz – but what did they miss?

在七個組成的系列內,衛報和觀察員作家試圖訴說現代音樂的歷史。今天他們揀選出50名爵士樂關鍵時刻的音樂故事,以圓滿結束。- 但他們有錯過什麼嗎?

Drug busts, razor-sharp tailoring and breathtaking musicianship: yes, it's the turn of jazz, completing our seven-part history of modern music. It's a journey that stretches back to the early 1900s, and takes us from New Orleans to Cuba to Manhattan to Cologne. The greats are included, of course, from Louis Armstrong to Miles Davis, from the Duke to Dizzy, Monk and Billie, and racism, sexism and the entrenched elitism of the musical world all get tackled on the way. And there's a place for Sgt Pepper, as well as an appearance from Justin Bieber...

毒品迷幻案件,銳利的剪裁和驚人的音樂才能:是的,它就是成為爵士樂的總和,完成我們現代音樂史的七部分。這個旅程可以追溯到20世紀初,從新奧爾良,古巴,曼哈頓到科隆。所有偉大鉅作都包括在內,當然,從路易斯阿姆斯壯到邁爾斯戴維斯,從杜克到 Dizzy,尚和比利,種族主義,性別歧視和對音樂世界根深蒂固的精英主義裝備都可在線上搜尋。還有為Sgt Pepper設置的區域,外觀如同賈斯汀比伯一樣

"Jazz is a way of playing," said the great jazz pianist and educator Billy Taylor. Duke Ellington called it the music of surprise – and our history takes in classical music, spirituals, the blues, R&B, electronica, punk and world music. We argued when jazz started and we argued over who should feature in our story of its continuation – the contributors, in this instance, comprising the Guardian's jazz critic John Fordham and the writers Richard Williams, John Lewis and John L Walters. Note the one thing that we all agreed on: that jazz isn't at an end...
So tell us what you think we've missed in the thread below, and thanks for following the series.

偉大的爵士樂鋼琴教育家比利泰勒: “爵士樂是一種表演方式。艾靈頓公爵把它稱為音樂的驚喜-我們的歷史融入古典音樂,靈歌,藍調,RB,電子樂,龐克和世界音樂需要。我們討論爵士何時展開,我們爭論誰才應該是我們延續故事的主角-貢獻者,在這種情況下,由衛報爵士樂評論家約翰福特漢姆和作家理查德威廉姆斯約翰劉易斯約翰 沃爾特斯。請注意一件事情,我們都同意:這爵士樂永未結束... ...

所以,告訴我們您認為我們錯過以下哪些線索,並感謝追隨其後的系列。
