专辑介绍:
纽约三重奏:星空阶梯 New York Trio: Stairway To The Stars (CD) 【Venus】
日本Swing Journal金赏奖
(Swing Journal选定ゴールドディスク)
由日本爵士乐迷们选出的经典歌曲名单,由美国新生代钢琴名家比尔夏洛普带领三重奏经典詮释,日本Swing Journal杂誌金唱片推荐!
出生於纽约音乐世家(父亲是音乐剧作曲家Moose Charlap、母亲是歌手Sandy Stewart)的Bill Charlap可说是美国当前最炙手可热的爵士钢琴明星,在Blue Note出了数张叫好叫座的演奏专辑,也是Phil Woods乐团的固定班底,更与Gerry Mulligan、Tony Bennett等人都有过精采的合作。推出过数张专门向爵士标準曲作家致敬的专辑(包括2005年的Gershwin致敬专辑),你可以想见Bill Charlap对於这些标準曲目有著近乎研究学问般的了解,已经是熟能生巧。一般现代音乐家对於爵士标準曲目总是避之唯恐不及,因为要超越前人的演奏实在不容易,但是Bill Charlap却是此中高手。的确,听他演出像是「I'll Be Seeing You」、「Lover Come Back to Me」这些歌曲时的巧妙精致指法,你很难想像这位钢琴家才刚届四十岁!尊重作曲家写作的旋律,并且能以优雅的方式加入自己的即兴片段,正是Bill Charlap的成功模式。在Venus唱片的前一张作品S'Wonderful」已经是张品味绝佳的经典,现在这张「Stairway to the Stars」又可感觉到这位钢琴家惊人的成长。合作的Jay Leonhart与Bill Stewart两位也担任称职的伴奏,三人的默契绝佳。
这张专辑最特别的是,曲目是由Swing Journal杂誌的读者点歌票选出来的,理所当然的,这张唱片也获得了SJ杂誌的金唱片推荐。录音由纽约著名的Avatar Studio录音师David Darlington操刀,并由Venus唱片自己的24bit Hyper Magnum Sound系统混音处理,音质清晰透明,值得音响迷们细细品味。

AllMusic Review by Ken Dryden
The New York Trio has produced a series of enjoyable session for Venus since the beginning of the 21st century. Consisting of pianist Bill Charlap, bassist Jay Leonhart and drummer Bill Stewart, their fifth CD together is similar to earlier efforts, concentrating on accessible treatments of selections from the Great American Songbook. The opening track, "Lover, Come Back to Me," is a swinging affair, with lots of amusing quotes inserted into the mix. "Stairway to the Stars" is suitably a dreamy interpretation, full of romance and gorgeous voicings by Charlap. The bittersweet ballad "I'll Be Seeing You" (forever associated with World War II films where the soldier leaves his love) is a solo feature for Charlap, played with tenderness. "Body and Soul" is one of the most recorded songs in jazz history, but the trio's rendition is worthwhile, even if little new ground is broken. This well-played collection of timeless ballads is perfect for unwinding at the end of the day.
