DUKE ELLINGTON／ORIGINAL ALBUM SERIES (5CD)

艾靈頓公爵／艾靈頓公爵Atlantic和Reprise時期原版錄音 (5CD)

l   5CD一次收錄艾靈頓公爵一九六二到一九六六年間，為Atlantic和Reprise唱片公司灌錄的五張經典專輯。

l   收錄經典專輯“Jazz Violin Session”、 以茱莉安德魯絲主演的音樂劇電影中的主題為演奏曲目的專輯“Duke Ellington Plays Mary Poppins”、重新演繹披頭四、巴布狄倫知名歌曲的爵士改編版等專輯。

這五張專輯是艾靈頓公爵從一九六二到一九六六年間，為Atlantic和Reprise唱片公司灌錄的專輯。其中最特別的就是一九六三年灌錄的“Jazz Violin Session”，這套錄音中，邀請來爵士小提琴手Stephane Grappelli和中提琴手Svend Asmussen，與艾靈頓公爵的駐團提琴手Ray Nance一同競奏，背景則由Ernie Shepard和Some Woodyard擔任節奏，連Billy Strayhorn都加入，讓這張專輯成為經典中的經典。另一張以Mary Poppins為題的專輯“Duke Ellington Plays Mary Poppins”，則是以當時由茱莉安德魯絲主演的音樂劇電影中的主題為演奏曲目的專輯，這是大樂團的演出，這張專輯可以說是總結了艾靈頓大樂團演出與改編手法的鼎盛之作，負責改編的人就是Billy Strayhorn，可以說是他畢生的代表作。

Reprise唱片公司是歌手瘦皮猴法蘭克辛納屈由Capitol唱片公司出走後，自資成立於一九六零年的唱片公司，他自任總裁，從六零年代一直到八零年代都非常暢銷，日後併入華納。包括Joni Mitchell、Neil Young、Frank Zappa等赫赫有名的大咖都起自這家唱片公司。艾靈頓公爵在這家公司感受到這種時代的變化，於是在一九六五年“Ellington ‘66”的這張專輯中，改編了民謠歌手巴布狄倫的名曲「Blowin’ in the Wind」和「Fly me to the Moon」，成為至今的知名爵士改編版，隔年他再度改編流行歌曲，這次則以披頭四的約翰藍儂和保羅麥卡尼的作品為主題，同樣讓人懷念至今，也都全一次到位收錄在本套裝專輯中。■2010.10■
