 迈尔斯-戴维斯的传记

传记 - 爵士乐的演变

讲述迈尔斯-戴维斯的生平相当于回溯整个爵士乐的历史:小号手、乐队指挥、作曲家和有史以来最杰出的作曲家之一,迈尔斯-戴维斯本人是爵士乐的创造者之一。

迈尔斯-杜威-戴维斯三世于1926年5月26日出生在伊利诺伊州的农村;18岁时他已经在纽约(在他身后的圣路易斯爵士乐俱乐部有相当多的经验),在著名的茱莉亚音乐学院闷头上课,每天晚上在哈莱姆和第五十七俱乐部的火热即兴演奏会中与查理-帕克和迪兹-吉莱斯皮一起演奏。

从Be-bop的经验中产生了戴维斯的第一部关键作品《酷的诞生》,在1949年和1950年之间录制,并在1954年作为长唱片发行。

这些唱片对整个爵士乐界的影响是巨大的,但50年代初对戴维斯(以及他的许多同伴)来说,是海洛因的黑暗年代。

他于1954年走出隧道,并在几年内与约翰-科尔特兰和坎农博-阿德雷成立了一个传奇的六重奏。

这一时期的唱片都是经典之作:从为Prestige公司录制的系列专辑(Walkin', Cookin', Relaxin', Workin', Steamin')到由我的朋友Gil Evans编排的管弦乐唱片(Miles Ahead, Porgy and Bess, Sketches of Spain),到对模态音乐的实验(Milestones),再到被许多评论家认为是爵士乐历史上最美丽的专辑--The灿烂的 "Kind of Blue",1959年。

60年代初,自由爵士音乐家们破坏了迈尔斯-戴维斯作为一个创新者的至高地位,他发现这种音乐类型过于模糊和矫揉造作。 他在1964年的回应是创建了另一个强大的团体,这次是与赫比-汉考克、托尼-威廉姆斯、罗恩-卡特和韦恩-肖特组成的四重奏,并逐渐走向摇滚和电声乐器(一与吉尔-埃文斯和吉米-亨德里克斯的合作将留在历史上,只是由于亨德里克斯的悲惨死亡而消逝)。

戴维斯对西海岸的迷幻摇滚越来越着迷,在十年末出现在主要的摇滚音乐节上,并赢得了年轻的白人 "另类 "观众。 In a Silent Way》和《Bitches Brew》等专辑标志着爵士摇滚的诞生,为融合现象铺平了道路。

然而,戴维斯不安分的个性似乎导致了他的堕落:毒瘾复发,与警察发生冲突,发生严重车祸,各种健康问题,人际关系日益紧张。

1975年,迈尔斯-戴维斯从舞台上退下来,把自己关在家里,成为毒品的受害者和抑郁症的俘虏。 每个人都认为他已经完蛋了,但他们错了。

六年后,他回来吹响了自己的号角,比以前更凶猛。

他无视评论家和爵士乐纯粹主义者,将自己投入到各种最新声音的污染中:放克、流行、电子、王子和迈克尔-杰克逊的音乐。 在业余时间,他还成功地投身于绘画。

这位伟大的爵士乐天才最后的化身竟然是流行明星:戴维斯继续在世界各地的舞台上演出,直到他去世前几个月。 1991年9月28日,他在圣莫尼卡(加利福尼亚)因肺炎发作而死亡,享年65岁。 他的尸体安放在纽约布朗克斯区的伍德隆公墓。
