专辑简介
专辑介绍：
Sonny Stitt出生于著名的音乐城市─波士顿，早期在Tiny Bradshaw大乐团中演奏中音萨克斯风，有幸遇见Charlie Parker跟年轻的爵士小喇叭大师Miles Davis的表演，令他心慕不已。之后移居到纽约，先后与Dizzy Gillespie、Bebop Boys、Kenny Clarke合奏演出过，那时是1945至1948年之间。而对自我要求如同Criss一样完美的他，毅然停止吹奏中音萨克斯风，转而演奏次中音萨克斯风，这点跟一直演奏中音萨克斯风的Criss就不太一样了。面对菜鸟帕克的巨大中音萨克斯风压力下，Stitt有着「既生瑜、何生亮」的感慨，正如其伙伴著名的爵士鼓手Kenny Clarke所言：〝If there had never been a Bird，there would have been a Sonny Stitt.〞可见Stitt的实力是受到肯定的。转吹次中音萨克斯风的Stitt在1950至1952年与Gene Ammons合作过，为Prestige唱片公司录制Prestige First Sessions Vol. 2， /. 这是一张与Sonny Stitt／Bud Powell／J. J. Johnson一样，同为Stitt早期评价甚高的作品，Stitt的好胜心使他鞭策自己多参加任何一个录音的机会，所以他没有较固定的团员，在1957至1959年加入JATP（一个著名的爵士乐团），有幸和著名的钢琴手Oscar Peterson合录一张重量级的专辑Sonny Stitt Sits in with The Oscar Peterson Trio，Stitt和Oscar 在当时都已经是俱乐部、音乐会、录音室的名人，同样都身经百战，不管四、五重奏，大乐团、拉丁、管弦乐，都难不倒他们。这张他们合作完美无瑕（唯一的一次合作录音）的唱片，被乐界形容为Bird & Tatum的演出，其中还包括著名的乐手 Ray Brown、Herb Ellis、Ed Thigpen、Stan Levey，从第一首著名的爵士摇摆版名曲〝I Can't Give You Anything But Love〞揭开精彩的演奏，而也重新诠释了Parker的曲子〝Au Privave〞及〝Scrapple From the Apple〞，来证明自己在中音萨克斯风的的领域中，Be-bop的吹奏是难不倒他的。〝Blues for Pres……〞则是唯一一首Stitt创作的曲子，略带着一些轻松、诙谐的蓝调色彩，此外还有Stitt浑然忘我、演奏到不知时间为何的曲子〝I Didn't Know What Time It Was〞，以及结尾曲〝I Know That You Know〞─一首激扬、优美，让人呼吸急促的经典摇摆爵士乐。
60年代时的Stitt，做了一件让人意想不到的事情，为了找寻灵感，幸运地从一位乐手Eddie Harris（次中音萨克斯风好手）习得Varitone，也是「变声」，方法是藉由一种弱音器，在演奏时随曲子需要遮住喇叭口，本来此法只适用在铜管乐器，但Stitt活用它来增加舞台魅力，的确也得到了不少的回响。70年代对Stitt来说，可说是名利双收的年代，他维持不断的进取心，和不同的爵士大师同台表演，如：Dizzy Gillespie、Thelonious Monk、Art Blakey、Kai Winding……，同时在Muse唱片公司录制了几张重量级的作品，如Tune-Up、Constellation、The Champ以及最后的录音The Last Stitt Sessions，其中Tune-Up和Constellation这两张专辑更是得到权威的《爵士企鹅评鉴》评为四颗星的极佳作品。Stitt有幸与名钢琴手Barry Harris，贝斯手Sam Jones合作，建立了良好的默契，这两张专辑你不仅可欣赏到Stitt炉火纯青的中音萨克斯风演奏功力，同时Stitt也秀了许多次中音萨克斯风迷人的旋律，尤其在Constellation里的〝（I Don't Stand）A Ghost of a Chance with You〞，那不愠不火的感人旋律、温暖深情的音色，如同前辈大师Lester Young的迷人演奏风采再现。此外另一首抒情经典〝It's Magic〞，听Stitt独特的忧郁蓝调，用中音萨克斯风徐徐地吹出，就连Parker也不禁称赞Stitt的演奏天赋；而Stitt生前最后的录音The Last Stitt Sessions，不用说是极为珍贵的，这张1982年录制的作品，于1983、1984年间发行，其实是两张专辑合而为一，名为The Last Stitt Sessions Vol. 1 & 2，全长七十多分钟，我觉得真的要感谢Muse唱片公司慧眼识英雄，不然Stitt的稀少录音佳作，而今定不复见。这张精彩的作品包括了〝Angle Eyes〞、〝As Time Goes By〞、〝Bouncin' with Bud〞、〝Jumpin' the Blues〞等脍炙人口的名曲，当然Stitt也创作了〝Steamroller〞、〝Keepin' It〞、〝Makin' It 〞、〝Swifty〞四首相当优美的作品，,Sonny Stitt因为癌症病逝于华盛顿，享年五十八岁。当然早期的Stitt一直有吸毒的嗜好，所以晚年因为癌症病逝，也是大家意料中的事。
