I thank you so much for the interpretation of my music
感謝你們對我的樂曲的演奏
That was really touching
非常讓人感動
But, across the music of Geri Allen, and Thara Memory, Valerie Simpson's music
昨晚有婕莉·愛倫 他拉·麥莫里 瓦萊麗·辛普森的音樂
which is superb, I must say
我不得不說 這非常棒
Valerie Simpson was absolutely superb last night
瓦萊麗·辛普森的音樂昨晚真是太棒了
Absolutely. Yeah
超級棒
But also just to hear the brass section that you have here
還有昨晚的銅管樂合奏
hearing them last night from the audience, just down there
從下面那里的觀眾席聽到
was so powerful and so precise and so punchy
如此震撼 如此精確 如此有力
and everything about what real good brass sections should be about
一切銅管樂應(yīng)有的優(yōu)秀品質(zhì)都到位了
Fantastic soloists there
還有美妙的獨(dú)唱
It was just moving, right across the whole of the evening's event
非常動人 整晚的活動都非常精彩
and I must say that being here in a college
我不得不說 在這樣一所學(xué)院中
I have to sort of be perfectly honest with you all that I was sort of self-taught
我需要完全誠實(shí) 我都是自學(xué)的
Not such a bad thing because I learnt from records
這并不是什么壞事 我從唱片中學(xué)習(xí)
and trying to sort of interpret playing of what would be my guitar heroes from there
然后嘗試在我的吉他上進(jìn)行演奏
Along the way I became a, I think you call it a side-man here, a session musician
過程中 我變成了一個伴奏樂手
And I was going in there and I'd have the charts
我到這里面 我有一些和弦圖
I was head-hunted for this, actually, curiously enough
說來也奇怪 我被獵頭相中了
but I couldn't read music at that time
當(dāng)時我還讀不懂音樂
But I could read the chord charts
不過我能讀和弦圖
and the session musicians in those days
當(dāng)時的伴奏樂手
would play across quite a wide variety of music
需要演奏的音樂范疇非常廣
It wouldn't be, like, if you were a guitarist
不能說 你是一個吉他樂手
you wouldn't just be the stylist in your own sort of field
你就只需要在自己專長的領(lǐng)域進(jìn)行演奏
I had quite a number of guitar techniques that I'd evolved over my teenage years
因此 我在十幾歲的時候培養(yǎng)出了很多吉他技術(shù)
