专辑名称:Speak Like A Child / 童言童語
专辑类型:Jazz
专辑介绍: 整个七十年代其余的时间,Hancock的音乐始终关注于这个领域。期间他也制作了数张传统爵士专辑,其中有与Chick Corea一起的以及他自己乐队V。S。O。P。Hancock在音乐中展现了一种影响深远的创造性,为流行唱片工业设立了一个标准。音乐在形式上是理性的产物,但其内容却是无法缺少热情的, V。S。O。P。乐队的作品一向以其完整性、强烈的情绪和原创性着称。尽管Hancock最初的兴趣在传统爵士上,但他非常有技巧地将其音乐的探索推向其它的领域,创作出一组激动人心的作品。
本专辑是Herbie Hancock经过四年潜心修习后,回到了Blue Note的重新发表,音乐性依旧走的是Laid-Back路线,但这里选择了更简单的旋律线条,并加以更精致的编曲让作品呈现出细腻的美感。
谈到这张专辑,Herbie Hancock选择简单的线条,以更精致的编曲让音乐呈现出细腻的美感。三位管乐手分别使用翼号(Flugelhorn)、低音伸缩号(Bass Trombone)与中音直笛(Alto Flute),他们的任务并非大鸣大放的即兴,而是根据编曲让不同音高的管乐声音完美交迭,创造出和谐的效果。而这也是Hancock的目的,他的钢琴即兴似有若无地出没于每个音乐段落里,就连节奏组也都轻声细语的伴奏,制造出一种音乐性轻如鸿毛,复杂度重若泰山的音乐佳作。
Personnel: In the midst of his stint working for Miles Davis, Herbie Hancock released two of his finest albums, 1965's Maiden Voyage and 1968's Speak Like a Child. Though the earlier disc may boast stronger players and more innovative compositions, on Speak Hancock's true lyrical sensibilities come into light. The Carter-penned "First Trip" lets Hancock loose on the ivories, "Goodbye to Childhood" is meditative, and "The Sorcerer"--written by Hancock for Davis himself--swings. Thad Jones on **ü*elhorn, Peter Phillips on bass trombone, and Jerry Dodgion on alto flute all deliver impressive performances but Hancock--setting a tone for his fusion experiments to follow--steals the show.
推荐曲目
One of the most beautiful and unusual albums in Herbie Hancock's vast discography, this 1968 set features a trio with Ron Carter and Mickey Roker supported by an unusual horn section (Thad Jones on fluegelhorn, Peter Phillips on bass trombone and Jerry Dodgion on alto flute) that does not solo but provides inventive Gil Evans-inspired voicings. Miles Davis had recorded two of these tunes ("Riot" and "The Sorcerer") the previous year, but they take on a whole different approach here. Three alternate takes, previously available only in a Hancock box set, are included on the gorgeous Van Gelder remaster.
