North Star Jazz Ensemble -《The Very Thought of You》[MP3!]

专辑介绍

我是一个爵士的入门新手，对于很多爵士厂牌还是很陌生的，呵呵
一个很偶然的机会买到了这个North Star的，到网上查资料，基本上没有，只知道这个来自加拿大的厂牌是一个著名的爵士发烧厂牌，而那个North Star Jazz Ensemble应该就是公司旗下的绝对band了，哈哈
这个Smooth Jazz听起来果然不错的说，但郁闷的是，就是没有相关的中文资料，希望有爵士高人能够给我补充一下吧～～
呵呵
也希望能够和许多高手交流～～

下面是一段英文的说明

Rhode Island-based label North Star specializes in, among other things, the romantic side of jazz. Utilizing top-flight studio and performing musicians from the New England area playing classic standards with slightly jazzy arrangements, the label has turned out several quiet, easy-to-listen-to jazz albums. While the music has a romantic bent, it is by no means just a maudlin recital of melody lines of classic standards. There are improvisation, dynamics, and character, all done in a gentle manner. The music doesn't shout at you -- it whispers, caresses, and seduces. Listen to Artie Montanaro on trombone and Bruce Abbott on soprano sax explore, not dismember "The Very Thought of You." Similarly, John Allmark's slightly up-tempo trumpet is the foil for Abbott, this time on tenor with Steve DeConti's guitar laying down chords underneath. There's even some Dixieland thrown in with "Ain't Misbehavin." The play list has 14 items and the ensemble -- actually a septet -- takes more than an hour to get through them. So it's not just three minutes and then on to the next track; there is thoughtful and innovative, if quiet, playing involved. This album is recommended as get-your-attention background to dinners, long walks, or just the enjoyment of listening to good music performed at its peak. ~ Dave Nathan, All Music Guide
