James Morrison(2)

小简介

成名以久的澳洲国宝级爵士小号手J.莫里森(James Morrison)，曾经在纽约“蓝音符”、“乡村前卫”，巴黎的“新晨”和伦敦“罗尼·斯考特”等著名俱乐部举办音乐会的J.莫里森是一个多才多艺的音乐家。他不但能演奏小号，还能演奏圆号、猎号、大号、萨克管和钢琴；他的曲目范围，也不仅仅局限在爵士音乐的范围内。近年来，他开始大量的参加古典音乐音乐会的演奏。由于他天生的爵士灵感，让他能够从另外一个音乐空间来审视我们耳熟能详的经典音乐，从而获得让人耳目一新、叹为观止的音乐。

A natural musician able to play many instruments in numerous styles, James Morrison has made a strong impression every time he has played in the United States. Born into a musical family, Morrison began on the cornet when he was seven and was soon also playing trombone, tuba, and euphonium. Within a few years, he was also playing alto sax and leading a Dixieland band. He worked steadily as a teenager and at the age of 18 joined Don Burrows' quintet, touring Australia and the Far East. In 1987, he visited the U.S. as a member of Red Rodney's group and was soon a popular fixture on the European jazz festival circuit. Two years later, a pair of his albums (Postcards From Down Under and Swiss Encounter) were released on Atlantic at the same time in the U.S., and he toured with Gene Harris' Philip Morris Superband as a trombonist. To show off his versatility, on his 1991 album Snappy Doo (which also includes a rhythm section), Morrison overdubbed himself on four trumpets, four trombones, five saxophones, and piano. In addition to playing music (he has the ability to trade fours with himself on trumpet and trombone), James Morrison does stunt flying, climbs mountains, and drives a racing car
