专辑介绍:
「蓝调之音」唱片〈Blue Note Records〉一向是爵士乐迷额手称庆的指标性品牌,他们也自信标榜著自己是「自西元1939年以降,最棒的爵士乐品牌」〈The Finest Jazz Since 1939〉。此言非虚,但他们可是一步一脚印地辛苦走到今日的成就的。
「蓝调之音」的老闆出人意料外的是个徳裔犹太人,Alfred Lion。西元1925年,Lion十六岁时,在自己常去溜冰的地方看到了爵士乐手Sam Wooding大乐队的演出海报。他不知道那是什么玩意,抱著好奇的心态去了那场音乐会一探究竟,结果却改变了他的一生。不过Lion还是不知道他到底听到了什么,但已经完全臣服於这种「美国来的黑人音乐」。於是他跑遍柏林各地,虽然找到了几张爵士唱片,但实在无法满足渴望。到了1930年,Lion当时在一间进出口贸易公司上班,藉职务之便出差到美国,这回他可是狠狠地搜括了三百多张唱片回家。不过他还是不满意,西元1938年决定定居美国〈一方面也为了躲避纳粹迫害〉,这样终於让他称心如意听到爽了。
到了美国后,Alfred Lion赶上了一场极具历史意义的音乐会,在卡内基音乐厅举办的「灵魂到摇摆」〈Spirituals to Swing〉音乐会。他在那场音乐会里感受到了真正道地的黑人音乐,Meade lux Lewis和Albert Ammons的Boogie Woogie钢琴演出让他下定了决心:要搞就搞大的。於是,Lion在二週后盛情邀请二位钢琴家,提供他们最好的环境与食物,让他们在备受尊荣下演奏。当然,还包括了录音。而「蓝调之音」唱片,就这么出现了,直到今天。
「蓝调之音」唱片,西元1939年到2005年,故事还在继续。但截至目前,他们所出版过的最棒专辑里的最棒曲目,基本上都在这张选辑里。

Product Description
The Best Blue Note Album in the World Ever may boast a silly title, but it's hard to argue with what's on this double-disc sampler. Not all of the label's greatest artists are here, but everything is representative, showing how hard bop like John Coltrane's "Blue Train" and Lee Morgan's "The Sidewinder" coexisted with soul-jazz from Grant Green ("Born to Be Blue"), Jimmy Smith ("Back at the Chickenshack"), and Horace Silver ("Song for My Father"). It is true that US3's "Cantaloop" sounds distinctly out of place here and that the latter-day stuff, no matter how good it is, isn't quite as magical as the classic era, but there's no denying that The Best Blue Note Album in the World Ever provides a lot of bang for the buck. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine

5.0 out of 5 stars Top of the Line Jazz (Even for the casual jazz fan) June 9, 2003
By John A. Alfano
Format:Audio CD
Though I've never been a big jazz fan, the intriguing title as well as the fact that I found this in the local library served to inspired me to give it a go. Basically I'd say that this is truly a great collection of vintage jazz from the Blue Note label. Whether it's the "greatest ever" I really couldn't say, but definitely top-notch in my book. Some of the highlight classics are Horace Silver's "Song For My Father", Herbie Hancocks's "Watermelon Man" and Jimmy Smith's "Back At the Chicken Shack" as well as a couple of excellent vocals by Cassandra Wilson and Lou Rawls. The only clunker is a ridiculous acapella by Bobby McFerrin called "Thinkin' About Your Body". Even if you somehow liked "Don't Worry, Be Happy", this one is sure to turn off all but the most fanatical McFerrin fan. In a nutshell, two thumbs up (As long as you skip over the McFerrin track)!
