艺人介绍

Joe Satriani(乔·塞奇尼)1956年7月15日出生于纽约长岛,在他过完14岁生日不久,他心中的英雄吉米·汉德克斯去世了。失掉偶像的乔绝定退出高足球队拿起吉它。自学三年后,在他居住的长岛,他成为当地的吉他英雄。他的校友Steve Vai背着一把5美元的吉他来拜访他,要跟他学琴。Vai同样是位出众的吉他大师,后来在事业上的成就比Satriani有过之而无不及。他后来参与录制了Satriani的几张白金专辑:Flying In A Blue Dream,The Extremist和Time Machine,他是Satriani最喜爱的学生和吉他手。

在日本生活了几年之后,乔·塞奇尼于1978年定居旧金山,并在著名的加州伯克利大学城内的“二手吉他”学校内教吉他。10年之中乔门下高手辈出,戴维·布莱逊、艾力克斯·斯柯尼克等著名乐手都曾是他的弟子。在Satriani的学生名册里还包括:爵士吉他手Charlie Hunter(查利· 亨特),Metallica 的Kirk Hammett(柯克·汉密特),Primus 的Larry Lalonde等等...

1979年,乔和鼓手杰夫·加密泰力、贝司手安迪·弥尔顿一起组建了一支流行乐队:“广场”。后来这种能量巨大的三人结构 乐队形式一直伴随着乔的个演艺生涯。1983年圣诞节,乐认休息的三个星期中,乔以闪电速度注册了自己的唱片发行公司“奇妙音乐”和以她妻子的名字命名的独立制作公司“鲁华娜”。在推出了一张录有五首纯吉他音乐的EP专辑之后,乐队的另外两位成员开始讥讽他“神经错乱”,并预测他的录音生涯将不了了之。乔不为所动,反而以更大的热情,用5000美金的超低成本,于1985年制作完成首张完整的纯吉他音乐专辑《不属于这个星球》。直至今天,乔仍用“神经错乱”来赞美其他的优秀音乐家。

尽管《不属于这个星球》没收到什么反响,但经由史蒂夫·范的大力推荐,为乔赢得了一家唱片公司的录音合同。这时乔以巫师般的狂热钻研吉他演奏技巧,风格日渐成熟。1987年的第二张个人专辑《与魔同行》推出不久即达白金并获得葛莱美奖提名。1988年,乔两度中断自己的巡演,这期间留下的三首现场录音后来被整理成EP专辑《第11号梦》,使乔再获葛莱美提名。

Along with teaching some of the top rock guitar players of the 80s and 90s, Joe Satriani is one of the most technically accomplished and widely respected guitarists to emerge in recent times. Born on July 15, 1956, in Westbury, NY, and raised in the nearby town of Carle Place, Satriani — inspired by guitar legend Jimi Hendrix — picked up the guitar at the age of 14 (although he was initially more interested in the drums). Quickly learning the instrument, Satriani began teaching guitar to others and found a kindred spirit in one of his students, Steve Vai. By the late 70s, however, Satriani had relocated to Berkeley, CA. With his sights set on his own musical career, Satch kept teaching others, including such future rock notables as Kirk Hammett (Metallica), Larry LaLonde (Primus), David Bryson (Counting Crows), and jazz fusion player Charlie Hunter.

In the early 80s, Satriani got a gig playing guitar with power popster Greg Kihn, doing some session work and touring with the group (an archival release recorded around this time, King Biscuit Flower Hour, was later issued in 1996), and issuing his own solo self-titled EP in 1984, financing and releasing the project entirely on his own. But when Vai hit the big time as the guitarist of David Lee Roths solo band in 1986, he offered praise for his good friend and former teacher in several major guitar publications, leading to widespread interest in Satrianis playing. The timing couldnt have been more perfect for Satch, as hed just issued his first full-length solo album, Not of This Earth, which automatically made ripples in the rock guitar community.

But the best was still to come, in the form of his sophomore release, 1987s Surfing with the Alien. Almost overnight, Satriani was widely regarded as one of rocks top guitarists, as the album earned gold certification and the guitarist would finish at the top of guitar magazine polls for years afterward. He was even handpicked by Mick Jagger to accompany the famous singer on a tour of Australia and Japan around this time. A stopgap EP, Dreaming #11, combed both studio and live tracks and was issued a year later, and in 1989, Satriani issued his third solo full-length, Flying in a Blue Dream. Another sizeable hit, the album also marked Satchs debut as a vocalist on several tracks. His career received another big push the same year when his song One Big Rush was included on the soundtrack to Cameron Crowes hit movie Say Anything.

The 90s began with Satriani creating his own line of guitars for the Ibanez company (the JS Joe Satriani model), but it wasnt until 1992 that he would issue his next solo release, The Extremist. The double-disc set Time Machine followed a year later (a combination of new tracks, live material, and the long out-of-print Joe Satriani EP from 1984), and in 1994, Satch filled in on tour for the departed Ritchie Blackmore for heavy metal pioneers Deep Purple. Although he was asked to become a full-time member, Satriani turned down the offer to return to his solo career.

Satriani issued two more solo albums during the 90s — 1995s self-titled release and 1998s Crystal Planet — and also started the G3 guitar showcase tour with Vai in 1996, becoming an annual event and issuing a live document of the tours initial run, G3: Live in Concert, a year later. 2000 saw Satriani issue his most musically daring release yet, the electronic-based Engines of Creation, and a year later, Live in San Francisco. Engines was nominated for a Grammy the next year, and after a successful tour he stepped back into the studio. The result, Strange Beautiful Music, was released in 2002. Electric Joe Satriani: An Anthology arrived in 2003, followed by Is There Love in Space? in 2004, Super Colossal in 2005, and Satriani Live! in 2006. In addition to his own albums, Satriani has guested on several other artists albums over the years, including Blue Öyster Cults Imaginos, Alice Coopers Hey Stoopid, Stuart Hamms Radio Free Albemuth, Pat Martinos All Sides Now, and Spinal Taps Break Like the Wind.
