小简介

班卓琴的一代宗师。《Foggy Mountain Breakdown》是Earl Scruggs的手本名曲,现在也成了兰草班卓的经典曲目之一。

1930-1945年期间的15年时间,5弦的banjo还不是非常使用广泛在一般的民歌中,1945年,Earl Scruggs加入Bill Monroe和他的the Bluegrass Boys乐队,带来了全新的3弦banjo指法。他的全新的风格给乐队和当时的Grand Ole Opry电台和公路巡演带来了巨大的轰动。

2008年获得格莱美终生成就奖。

Earl Scruggs被广泛认为是Banjo Style的创始人,现在叫做Scruggs style。Scruggs style指以美国南部的正宗乡村班卓琴为器乐,曲目长度很短,都是黑人们在田间劳作时间歇演奏的传统曲子,其根源性和本色性非常强。

Earl Scruggs is to the five-string banjo what Paganini was to the violin. After more than 20 years with the Foggy Mountain Boys, forming the most famous band in bluegrass history, Scruggs and Lester Flatt parted company in 1969 because of artistic differences, with Flatt pursuing more traditional sounds and Scruggs forming the Earl Scruggs Revue with his two sons. The Revue appealed more to a young and urban audience and, with dobro player Josh Graves, played rock and other non-country music. Scruggs has made many albums since his parting with Flatt (including The Storyteller and the Banjoman with Tom T. Hall in 1982) and is seen on TV, often for reunion appearances.

据国外媒体报道,兰草音乐传奇大师Earl Scruggs(厄尔·斯克拉格斯)于2012年3月29日去世,享年88岁。
