专辑介绍: ♫ 爵士大师改编古典小品 ♫ 荣获「Swing Journal」杂誌金赏奖 这张唱片大概是Venus Records创业以来最特殊的作品，为什么？古典乐迷看到标题一定能够理解，这是张以古典小品的演奏专辑。主奏钢琴手史帝夫库恩的古典素养肯定相当深厚，才能够将这些古典经典作品改编为爵士乐演奏。对於同时涉猎古典与爵士乐的乐迷来说，聆听这样的作品特别能够感受到深刻的趣味。其实仔细思考，爵士乐手们习於将经典歌曲、民谣等改编为即兴挥洒的爵士乐，那么，改编旋律优美、传世达百年以上不被淘汰的古典音乐旋律，不就更符合爵士乐海纳百川、兼容并蓄的特性？ 让我们来看看改编的名单。很有趣的，史帝夫肯的选曲完全摒弃巴洛克时代，而从浪漫派末期的萧邦「幻想练习曲」开始。萧邦是本次唯一三首入选的作曲家，另外还有他的「降E大调小夜曲」与「E小调前奏曲」。考虑到史帝夫肯自己演奏钢琴的背景，这应该是非常合理的选择。接下来的作曲家则清一色是国民乐派时期，包括拉威尔的标题曲「死公主的孔雀舞」、德布西的「梦」两首法国作品；柴可夫斯基的「第五号交响曲第二乐章」、「天鹅湖」；拉赫曼尼诺夫的「第二号钢琴协奏曲」、佛瑞的「舞曲」以及布拉姆斯的「摇篮曲」等等。 国民乐派的作品通常旋律极为优美，因此被改编的机率本来就比较大些。史帝夫肯的改编并非只是单纯的重复耳熟能详的旋律，而是把这些曲子优雅的和絃进行融入爵士乐的节奏与即兴中，让古典的旋律能够在爵士的包装下带来新的生命。史帝夫库恩自己在五岁就开始接触古典钢琴严格训练，因此对於古典音乐的熟稔程度当然比起一般爵士音乐家更胜一筹。 三重奏的两个成员中，David Finck在Chesky公司已经留下许多著名的发烧演出，而Billy Drummond也是常出现的固定班底。三个人的精彩演出替Venus唱片公司留下了这张与眾不同的专辑。毫无疑问，本片也理所当然的获得了Swing Journal杂誌的金唱片推荐！ He began studying piano at the age of five and studied under legendary Boston piano teacher Margaret Chaloff, mother of jazz baritone saxophonist Serge Chaloff, who taught him the "Russian style" of piano. At an early age he began improvising classical music. As a teenager he appeared in jazz clubs in the Boston area, gigging with the likes of Coleman Hawkins, Vic Dickerson, Chet Baker, and Serge Chaloff. He graduated from Harvard and attended the Lenox School of Music where he was associated with such other future jazz masters as Ornette Coleman, Don Cherry, and Gary McFarland, with a supportive faculty that included George Russell, Gunther Schuller, the Modern Jazz Quartet members, and Bill Evans. This allowed Mr Kuhn to play, study, and create with some of the most forward-thinking innovators of jazz improvisation and composition, culminating with his joining trumpeter Kenny Dorham's group for an extended time and then John Coltrane's quartet. Personnel: Steve Kuhn - piano Dave Finsc - bass Billy Drummond - drums Artist: Steve Kuhn Trio Title Of Album: Pavane For A Dead Princess Year Of Release: May 29, 2006 Label: Venus Records Genre: Piano Jazz By DR. JUDITH SCHLESINGER, Published: February 6, 2006 Steve Kuhn Trio: Pavane for a Dead Princess Anything that pianist Steve Kuhn does is likely to be beautifully executed and tasteful, and Pavane for a Dead Princess is no exception. Here, he and his empathic collaborators David Finck (bass) and Billy Drummond (drums) address themselves to the stock classical repertoire, jazzing up eleven popular pieces from Debussy, Rachmaninov, Tchaikowsky, Grieg, Brahms and Chopin. (There are actually two "Pavane"s—the title track, by Ravel, and Faure's version.) The result is nothing less than terrific. These are not classical melodies sitting stiffly on a jazz beat; instead, the trio digs deep into the structure of these well-worn compositions and thoroughly explores and expands them. Who knew "Swan Lake" or "Fantasy Impromptu" could swing like that? Or that Brahms's treacly "Lullaby" would make such a moving ballad? Listeners familiar with this music in its original form will get the biggest kick out of this release, and those who've been intimate with Chopin's piano scores will especially appreciate the brilliance of Kuhn's improvisations. But any listener can enjoy what happens to strong, beautiful melodies in expert hands like these. The recording is clear and warm, the pacing ideal. The musicians are in peak form, sounding positively inspired, and they swing like mad. What a delight!

Pavane pour une infante défunte (Pavane for a Dead Princess) is a well-known piece written for solo piano by the French composer Maurice Ravel in 1899 when he was studying composition at the Conservatoire de Paris under Gabriel Fauré. Ravel also published an orchestrated version of the Pavane in 1910. A typical performance of the piece lasts between six and seven minutes.
