Afternoon in Paris
Autumn Leaves
All the things you are
I am old fashioned
I cannot give you anything but love
On the sunny side of the street
My heart stood still (Artie Shaw)
Someday my prince will come
Taking a chance on love
In a mellotone
I could listen to them over and over again, listen to different musicians play with it, various tempos, various vibes, various fills. I could dance to some of it, play drums to some of it, and most of times, simply let it play over and over again.
我从来没有想过Jazz会在我的生命中,在我每一天的生活里,扮演这么重要的角色。我曾在低落的夜晚,在欢畅演奏的乐队里找到对生命的热爱,常常枕着她入眠,早晨被她唤醒。她把我和身体联系在一起,和另一个人一起,和一群人一起。Jazz让我感到无限温柔,百转千回,有时又十分热烈,天真活泼。Jazz是相互交印,是灵犀,自由与自律,深刻和活泼,敏感又抽离,是与自己,与他人,与这个世界的对话。从来没有哪一种艺术让我感到如此难以形容,又感到皈依。
我一生都会与之相伴。
