若说Jazz是经典,那么Smooth Jazz就是延续经典的时尚趋势;若说Jazz是品味,那么Smooth
Jazz就是更为自由、个人化的独立品味提升。Jazz与Smooth Jazz一定是对立吗?布莱恩辛普
森(Brian Simpson)深知它们共存的必要性,透过独到的手法与创作编排,在他的音乐里奏
出最完美的诠释。

隐身幕后的爵士钢琴家Brian Simpson,没有媒体过多的恭维,但他却是萨克斯风手戴夫考兹
(Dave Koz)长达10年以上的指定搭档,担纲钢琴演奏与他的音乐指导。谦逊而纯熟的演奏风
格与技巧让他总能为每场表演添入恰如其分的加分效果,但也因此,想听见他领衔主奏的机会
更是难上加难。睽违了10年,拥有深厚爵士底子的布莱恩。

Above the Clouds, the latest offering from keyboard whiz Brian Simpson, finds the
artist in his element, comfortably situated behind the ivories, banging out either
some swanky honky-tonky flavored sassy number or a slow and funky R&B how-to-seduce
-your-lover tutorial for the animal in all of us.  The guy knows the buttons to
push, or I should say the keys to press, literally.  Always has.  As musical director
for smooth jazz cruises with Dave Koz as well as with Wayman Tisdale, he also shown
how well coordinated and disciplined he is with the music of others.

This latest project is just chock full of smooth grooves that, while all Simpson,
are easily identifiable as belonging to each and every one of us smooth jazzers.
They move, they sway, they saunter, they grind, and they whisper those soul-stirring
whispers.  Most of all, they relate. There抯 not a tune here that doesn find some
jazzer saying, es, that just how I feel right now!?nbsp; There are countless such
cuts that grab me that way. The opening track hat Cha Gonna Do?," track 4 Let's Get
Close,?track 5 ne More Time,?track 6 he Last Kiss,?and track 7 Fiona Song?immediately
come to mind.  Then, there the gang of pals that drop by to lend a helping hand to
the project: George Duke, Dave Koz, Wayman Tisdale, and Kirk Whalum. Yeah, I know!
ediocre?just vanishes from the dictionary with that mix of insurmountable talent.

It strikes me personally as curious that Simpson hails this as his oming out?album
of sorts. By that, I mean, he states that, wanted the music on Above the Clouds to
make the statement that I抦 a solo artist and that I here to stay.?Hey, Brian, I
think we all got that memo with the last effort, It All Good. That hot delivery
more than made that bold announcement!  For this latest effort, I just say, welcome
back and keep up the groove!
