躺在床上聽阿提蕭




昨天晚上回家時,看到最近在整理辦公室時挖出來的一張(已經忘記我有的)阿提蕭(Artie Shaw) CD,我記得它是多年前我在尋找無版權音樂運用在我拍的影片時所買的一張CD。將堆了一週的衣服放進去洗衣機後,我放了這片CD,自然的將腳抬到床上,躺下來聽這張CD。阿提蕭跟班尼固德曼(Benny Goodman)一樣都是四○年代搖擺爵士樂(Swing Jazz)正風行樂壇時,帶領著自己大樂團的白人領班,剛好兩人都吹著黑管。 因為這樣的相同,一直有很多人拿他們兩人做比較。

班尼固德曼是兩人較紅的一位,有人說這是因為他吹出來的音樂比較主流、比較順,也有人說因為他個人的音色比較亮,可能也是吧,但是我覺得兩人最大的不同在他們的個性,我認為班尼固德曼除了是一位頂尖樂手,他也是一個很棒的生意人,我想他應該是用經營公司的理念在經營著樂團。同時他有很好的市場敏感度,我猜他就是用這樣的敏感度不斷的創造出Hit After Hit(暢銷名曲)。記得之前在奇美博物館看到一台古董點唱機,上面還有當年留下來的曲目,十條歌曲裡面至少有五首是班尼固德曼演奏的,阿提蕭好像只有一首。同時班尼固德曼做了許多廣告,很有噱頭性的演奏,如他在1938年在紐約著名的卡內基演奏廳所舉辦的演出(還有演唱會留下的名盤)。

這跟阿提蕭比起來完全不一樣,雖然兩人都熱愛音樂,都很有才華,甚至兩人在當年種族歧視很嚴重的時代下都堅持使用黑人樂手在自己的樂團裡,兩人所創造出來的結果很不同。昨天晚上聽CD時看著小手冊看到阿提蕭曾經有一段時間退出樂壇,因為他說有太多的新東西,太混亂了,他需要一些自己的時間吸收、思考這一切。我想有些人可能從這一點就可以看出為什麼班尼固德曼是兩位較紅的那一位。阿提蕭的這種敏感度、內斂,是可以在他的音樂中聽出來,我想也因為這樣,有一群人一直為他的音樂很著迷。

以表面來看班尼固德曼是乎比較成功,他比較有名,唱片賣的比較多,比較多人認識他,聽過他的音樂。但是記得上周日我的牧師Matt Chen講道時說到,一個人的成功,不能只以他的地位、收入來決定,應該要看他有沒有達到自己心中為自己設立的目標。這時我想到我自己,身為一個努力向前衝的年輕人,我不斷想要自己、公司成長,有更多的成就,賺更多錢。會有這樣的想法絕對沒有錯,因為我是一位上進的青年(你想笑可以笑)。但是我是不是也應該提醒我自己,不要以世界衡量一個人成就的方式來為我自己打分數,因為雖然還有很多的路要走,我現在已經在做小時候夢想的工作,而且每天可以很開心到公司做自己熱愛、在乎的工作,這還真是一個很好的成績。昨天晚上,躺在床上聽音樂時,我想到要是有人問阿提蕭他會不會覺得班尼固德曼比他成功,他一定會說“Are you Kidding?"我也為這一點感謝神,要不然我就沒有阿提蕭沈穩但又難預測的音樂陪我入睡了。

I create a comment when I appreciate a article on a site or I
have something to contribute to the conversation.

Usually it's a result of the sincerness displayed in the article I browsed. And after this post "躺在床上聽阿提蕭". I was excited enough to drop a commenta response :-P I do have a couple of questions for you if you do not mind. Could it be only me or does it look as if like a few of these remarks come across as if they are written by brain dead folks? :-P And, if you are posting on other online social sites, I'd like to keep
up with you. Would you make a list the complete urls of your
communal sites like your twitter feed, Facebook page or linkedin
