Jason Miles - 2006 -What's Going On (Songs of Marvin Gaye)

admin

这是一张带有Jazz风味的专辑，里面的音乐元素很多，很有欣赏价值。
Marvin Gaye出生在一個宗教氣氛濃厚的家庭，他是最有天賦、最富幻想、最長久不衰的明星。

作為Motown公司銷量最好的藝人，他用熱情的嗓音塑造了“Motown之聲”。他能夠同時兼顧藝術要求和商業成功。
他的代表作What's Going On融合了自己深藏的信念，探究了貧窮、社會歧視、毒品氾濫、政治腐敗等問題；歌曲以他從越南戰場歸來的兄弟Frankie的視點為主線。Marvin Gaye是那種能談論自己關心的事物並為千萬人代言的藝術家。

What's Going On這張專輯首發於1971年，被譽為有史以來最有“精神力量”的專輯之一。這張豪華紀念版除了對原始錄音進行重新處理以外，還收錄了當年未曾發行的在底特律混音的版本，以及Marvin Gaye於1972在甘迺迪中心現場演出的版本，聽眾認為該現場版的效果可與錄音棚版的一比高低。
如果音樂也有批判現實主義，那麼這張專輯毫無疑問是最傑出的典範，從第一首曲子開始，嘈雜的背景人聲和Mavrin Gaye厚重的歌聲就交織在一起，那個沉重的歷史時期瞬間隨著音樂降臨到聽眾的耳邊，那是一種身臨其境的震撼。

专辑简介：
Following his popular and critically acclaimed twists on the music of Weather Report, Ivan Lins, and Grover Washington, Jr. -- and his own inspired take on the spirit of his old pal Miles Davis on Miles to Miles -- the East Coast-based jazz keyboardist and megaproducer keeps his streak of compelling and provocative tribute projects going with this warm collection of Marvin Gaye classics. Rather than simply make a disc of familiar and obscure covers, it seems to be Miles' intent to show the relevance of Gaye's political and romantic messages to the modern day. So while his arrangement of the title track is sexy and atmospheric, it's really a showcase for the song's words, rendered with a deep and soulful urgency by newcomer Mike Mattison. The other projects, while all brilliant in their own way, seemed conceived as all-star affairs that could use big names to help market them. What's Going On? features a handful of legends, from Herb Alpert (who plays it cool on the seductive "Let's Get It On") to Marcus Miller (joyfully letting loose for a few bars on "Heavy Love Affair"), Jay Beckenstein (who solos a few minutes into the balmy "Too Busy Thinking About My Baby"), and even Bobby Caldwell. Miles, though, seems intent on showcasing newer talents whose presence happily dominates. Most impressive of these are the sultry lead vocals of Chiara Civello on "I Want You," James "D-Train" Williams on "Heavy Love Affair," Dominick Farinacci's flügelhorn on the crisp shuffle of "Trouble Man," and labelmate guitarist Nick Colionne ("I Heard It Through the Grapevine"). Like Gaye himself, Miles proves a master at subtlety, so expect a few doses of cool funk but a lot of deep soul and dreamy vibes behind messages proving that projects like these are remarkably timeless. ~ Jonathan Widran, All Music Guide
