专辑介绍

柔情蓝调爵士(Blues Jazz)+冷爵士(COLD JAZZ)+混合爵士

在过去的十年(爵士时光里),就连波士顿环球时报都称:本.艾利森他就是一个"极其富有远见的作曲家",和像一个充满了挑战和冒险的冒险家,以及拥有了坚强的组织力量并成为了一个冉冉升起的爵士新星。

在这个世界上一些很细微的小事情正在悄然有序的运行并发生着,艾利森这时候从边缘上 - 再一次与电影业界联手推动了符合美国那健全而又轻巧的后摇滚时代的音乐类别,这绝非易事。艾利森和他的乐队“人小鬼大”的将游走在摇滚乐的边缘风格和爵士乐的六个贝司手新的原创乐曲加上吉他手史蒂夫卡登纳斯“爱的谏言”和约翰列侬“嫉妒的男人”的曲风不断的融合了在一起。作品如主打歌曲和“呼吸”揭示了艾利森本人此次的冒险创作,充满了五颜六色的梦幻旋律,具有催眠功效的合奏旋律。显示出了乐队组合一派的欣欣向荣以及具有风趣幽默诙谐而又狂放不倜的质感和偶然的煽情趣味。

从某个角度来解析艾利森,他也曾经说:“节奏概念和弦节奏布鲁斯在过去的几年里一直在追求着,我也一直在尝试融合美国摇滚乐,民族音乐,爵士音乐和电影情节内容一并归纳成整体也有了好长一段时间,‘在这世界上小巧的东西在运行着’能代表更充分扎实的旋律格调。

艾利森还展示出了他具有高瞻远瞩的眼光和操作方法,他春风得意时候,还成立了爵士乐作曲家俱乐部,集体年龄大约都在25岁不等,一个纽约的音乐家来经营者,一个非赢利性的组合,正致力于打造建设一个优质的环境氛围,使得艺术家们可以不断的探索和创作新兴的音乐。他自己还撰写了不少音乐电影,就连国家电视台和广播电台,包括全国公共广播电台的(NRP)的评分被显示在各大媒体两天。一个自由发挥书面创作获得普利策奖的作者唐纳德格莉丝也这么戏说。

本艾利森(低音吉他);迈克尔萨林(大鼓);史蒂夫德纳斯(高音吉他) ;罗恩霍顿(小号) ;和迈克尔布莱克(萨克斯手)就在这个世界上一点点的悄然运行诞生了。

本艾利森还和他的团体不断的云游四方,几经周折,还在兴都库什上演了三重奏,以及和钢琴家弗兰克联手合作项目,到处巡回演出。纵观整个美国,加拿大,欧洲,巴西,他那具有独特的天赋意外的赢得了不少乐迷的青睐。

波士顿环球时报称所谓“今天他就是一个最好的年轻人爵士乐手之一”历年来发行有6,7张专辑的原创音乐

The Buzz on experimental-minded bassist Ben Allison is all good, as (among numerous accolades) he'd been cited by Downbeat Magazine as one of "25 rising jazz stars for the future" and was selected in various categories in its critics poll as a talent deserving wider recognition. His 2002 disc Peace Pipe challenged mainstream jazz limitations by blending in hip-hop and African rhythms, and Buzz keeps the invention hopping -- sometimes that means pleasing a listener's sense of cool rhythm, other times defying gravity and reason a bit too much. Allison, working with his band of three multiple horn players, keys, and drums, is full of surprises, sometimes in mid-song. For nearly three minutes, the opening cut, "Respiration," plods along a moody, laid-back, horn-spiced path that sometimes borders on atonal; then fortunately, Allison gets into a funky blues mood and Frank Kimbrough's playful piano melody takes over, with Allison's bouncy bass and Michael Sarin's drums kicking in way offbeat. The eclectic, rhythmically off-center, and brass-punched title track really takes the idea of experimentation to the limit; Allison wraps seed pods around the strings of his bass, while Kimbrough sticks pennies and paper clips between piano strings. "Mauritania" combines a more consistent rhythm scheme with rising horns wrapped around Ted Nash's fluttering flute. The disc will appeal more or less to avant-garde jazz fans, who probably won't object to a meandering take on "Across the Universe" that seems to take as much time as a real trip.
