從里民同歡會到全台最大爵士音樂節
從艾靈頓公爵到港都夜雨
特邀音樂家橫跨歐美亞洲十國輪番上陣
TJO 2009-2018 十年搖擺現場全紀錄
臺北爵士大樂隊十歲了,十年間經歷了各種形式的演出,有戶外音樂節上萬觀眾的舞台,也有社區公園鄉親同歡的里民活動;有校園推廣的演出,也有慈善音樂會。原本以演出紀錄為主的歷年錄音資料,在不自覺的情況下,佔據了電腦裡大量的儲存空間。在整理資料及聆聽音樂的過程,往往時間空間倒轉,彷彿身處其境,這也是決定製作這張「十年搖擺現場」合輯的初衷-希望把大家帶回到音樂現場。
製作現場唱片跟錄音室作品很不一樣,現場演出的主客觀條件每場都不相同:有些演出場地很大,樂團多軌錄音;有些空間很小,只能用側錄的方式;演出時有人聊天,有人樂譜被風吹走,有人不小心撞到麥克風架⋯,各種臨時狀況在錄音室裡是不可能發生的。錄音室裡可以重來,節奏沒對齊可以用電腦微調,音沒吹準一樣用電腦微調。但在現場,所有的事情發生了就發生了,節奏沒對齊留了下來、音不夠準也留了下來。「完美」不是現場錄音最重要的一環,與觀眾間的情感流動才是。只要你願意閉上眼、靜下心來聆聽,一定能體會這無法被取代的「臨場感」。
這張唱片是我送給自己,也是送給樂團的禮物,一個代表我們曾經一同努力過的禮物。在製作的過程中,往往聆聽到出神,並心懷感謝地讚嘆有這麼多人為樂團貢獻了這麼多美妙的樂音。感謝音樂總監Dr. Gene Aitken的一路帶領、舞台上力求完美的音樂家、舞台下辛苦的工作人員、協力的現場音響工程師:龍耳音響黃光宇、捷越音響高敏福、莊富仁、徐正宇讓這張合輯從不可能化為可能。十年間演出的場次與曲目很多,這張「十年搖擺現場」合輯難免有遺珠之憾,只能留待二十年回顧再來補齊。感謝在台下支持的所有樂迷朋友,僅將滿滿四個小時的音樂獻給你們。
