Dino Saluzzi

Dino Saluzzi對音樂的描寫有相當(dāng)好的想像力,是位用手風(fēng)琴說故事的高手。Saluzzi在創(chuàng)作音樂時堅持把握自己的原則,他說道”如果我們不對自己的記憶負(fù)責(zé),那么還有誰會?身為一個音樂家,我是記憶的仆人,但記憶也是我的貴人。”專輯的名稱其實就是Saluzzi幼年時一起成長的玩伴,即使已經(jīng)過了近七十年,對Juan Condori模糊的回憶仍偶然飄蕩在夢里,因此Saluzzi藉由音樂來追溯這位難忘的朋友。 專輯中的演奏由Dino Saluzzi Group一手包辦,幾乎都是Saluzzi家族成員,其中包括從小就一起演奏的兄弟薩克斯風(fēng)手Felix Saluzzi,和吉他手兒子Jose Maria Saluzzi,以及Felix Saluzzi的兒子貝斯手Matias Saluzzi,和一個來自義大利的新成員鼓手U.T.Ghandi。錄音地點則回到他們的老家布宜諾斯艾利斯,在這里,Dino Saluzzi兒時的回憶歷歷在目,在對的時間,對的地點,與對的人物一起演奏,家鄉(xiāng)的民謠與探戈風(fēng)情全部融合在Saluzzi的音樂中。就像是費里尼的電影阿瑪珂德,這張算是Dino Saluzzi對自己童年和家鄉(xiāng)的回憶之作,有對逝去的感嘆,也有對那純真年代的緬懷。 Dino Saluzzi本人對新加入的鼓手U.T.Ghandi表現(xiàn)也是贊不絕口,Ghandi是個敏銳又杰出的鼓手,當(dāng)Dino Saluzzi Group演奏時,所有的音色比例完美而均衡,一切如流水般一起流動,就像清澈的水。

Composer, arranger, and world-class bandoneon player Dino Saluzzi was born in 1935 in Campo Santo, Argentina, the son of multi-instrumentalist and composer Cayetano Saluzzi, and spent his childhood in Buenos Aires, where he was a member of the Orquestra Estable at Radio el Mundo. By the age of 14 he was already leading his own bands (his first was Trio Carnival) and by the 1980s he had developed his unique bop-inflected and decidedly postmodern approach to the tango, an approach that has him artfully straddling the musical past, present, and future with casual yet acute balance. For all his association with the international avant-garde, Saluzzi still maintains his allegiance to the regional folk traditions of his youth, and that connection gives his sometimes fragmented compositions an uncommon center of gravity. Saluzzi's lengthy discography includes the albums Kultrum, Once Upon a Time -- Far Away in the South (both from 1985), Volver (1986), Andina (1988), Argentina (1990), Mojotoro (1991), Rios (1995), Cite de la Musique (1997), Senderos (2005), Juan Condori (2006), and Ojos Negros (2007), most of which were released on the ECM imprint.
