Remixed & Reimagined-Billie Holiday专辑介绍

◎继上一张妮娜.西蒙的【混音绝世版】受好评后,接续推出这张以Billie Holiday演唱为本的混音作品。

◎专辑以Old-School和Hip-Hop为主要调性,透过DJ们巧手妆点鲜活了Billie Holiday的歌声,让老爵士充满时尚风华。

  一看到专辑名称Billie Holiday - Remixed & Reimagined便可得知唱片公司的企图心,继上一张妮娜.西蒙的【混音绝世版】受好评后,接续推出这张以Billie Holiday演唱为本的混音作品。

  

Billie Holiday与Ella Fitzgerald、Sarah Vaughan并称三大爵士女伶;她于30年代开始担任Count Basie、Artie Shaw等人的大乐团歌手,二十多岁已是爵士乐坛中首席歌手。虽然比莉的歌声不如Sarah Vaughan甜美、演唱技巧也不如Ella Fitzgerald多变,但她将一生乖舛的命运投射在她的音乐裡,歌声裡有著最真诚动人的情感,任何爵士歌手都直接或间接受到她诠释歌曲方式的影响。

不过熟悉比莉的乐迷也知道,她所留存的录音距今至少有五十年以上,要如何将这些老录音转换成饶富现代感的混音作品,这完全考验著DJ们的功力,因此唱片公司除延揽上一张专辑裡黄金DJ阵容外,这次也请到诸多新秀DJ跨刀。一开场的三首歌皆以充满Nu-Jazz和Hip Hop节奏风味重新再制Ella Fitzgerald为电影【Dancing on a Dream】演唱的《I Hear Music》、爵士标准曲《More Than You Know》以及King of Burlesque的插曲《Spreadin’ Rhythm Around》;英国双人黄金搭档Madison Park和Daniel Y分别送上带有Trip Hop和Lounge风格的《I’m Gonna Lock My Heart》以及不朽金曲《Billie’s Blue》。名列世界百大DJ行列、擅长浩室(House)风格的Tony Humphries这次则将Billie Holiday摇身一变成为舞池裡最耀眼的女子,将最经典的专辑【缎衣淑女】内《But Beautiful》一曲改编成带有迪斯可风味的舞曲。

  整张专辑皆以Old-School和Hip-Hop为主要调性,透过DJ们巧手妆点鲜活了Billie Holiday的歌声,让老爵士充满时尚风华,令人不得不讚叹DJ们的巧思。

Billie Holiday's Remixed & Reimagined showcases the 20th century's preeminent jazz vocalist - and also one of the most important female artists of all time - as never heard before. The latest installment of this critically-acclaimed series, Billy Holiday's most heartfelt vintage master-tape performances were selected and bestowed upon the most groove-worthy remixers and producers of the 21st century, including DJ Logic, Tony Humphries, Nicodemus, Charles Feelgood, Swingsett, Jazzy Nice, and Organica.

  The result of these two worlds colliding is a heart-stopping manifesto of love, beauty, rhythm, and poetry that beguiles, teases, and embraces the sweet spot of absolutely anyone with an open mind.
