附All That You Give MV(MPG)
有见识的录音室奇才Jason Swinscoe与四位杰出爵士乐手再加一位唱盘高手的超级组合,前卫爵士乐传奇女伶Fontella Bass, 英伦嘻哈救世主Roots Manuva跨刀献声!
照一般业界的说法Cinematic Orchestra是一个有见识的录音室奇才Jason Swinscoe与四位杰出爵士乐手(包括Phil France(版本龙一/Zero 7)等人)再加一位唱盘高手,也就是DJ Food的幕后大将之一Patrick Carpenter的超级组合。
Jason Swinscoe深受影史经典配乐大师Bernard Hermann (大国民Citizen Kane, 惊魂记Psycho, 与出租车司机Taxi Driver)及老爵士影响,同时却又是当今难得的解构混音奇才,而他们以拼贴取样为体,即兴爵士为用,比电影配乐更具戏剧张力的作品风格,很快就吸引了全球相关产业的注意。比方他们受葡萄牙Porto影展之邀,为该影展即将放映的影史经典[持摄影机的人](Man With A Movie Camera)谱写配乐,该片出自俄国前卫运动的异端,亦是当代真实电影美学先趋狄锡卡.维多夫Dziga Vertov(他提出「电影眼」Kino-Eye电影理论,亦认为纪录片工作者应是诗人) 于1929年的代表作,之前于1999年时,他们也受曾英国导演协会(Director''s Guild)邀请,在颁发终生成就奖(Lifetime Achievement Award)给如今已过世的奇导-史丹利库伯力克的典礼上表演,显然这伙伦敦组合,正如其名地,已经倍受电影界肯定!

Press Release
In this time of spin, flim-flammery and hyperbole, where press releases constantly proclaim every tired re-tread a masterpiece and 'originality' means wearing different clothes in your video, it's easy to get cynical. Sometimes it's necessary, even, otherwise you might expire in a frenzy of puff and hard sell. So you shut up in your shell and sneer at it all and that in its own way, feels pretty good. But every so often you see something, read something or hear something which lives up to or even exceeds all the bluster. And then, somehow, it feels even sweeter.
"All That You Give," the first single from The Cinematic Orchestra's new album, "Everyday," is one of those moments - an instant classic, one of the most heartfelt and moving songs you'll hear - not just this week, month or year. Like Billie Holliday's "L:over Man" colliding with "Unfinished Sympathy," it's a piece of music that's both fantastically lush and searingly minimal. That - more than anything else - rings true.
It's not clear that J. Swinscoe knew what he was going to get when he flew out to St Louis, USA, to record with r&b/soul/gospel/jazz legend Fontella Bass. He was a long-time admirer of the woman who had co-written and sung "Rescue Me" in the sixties but a particular fan of her seventies work with her husband, renowned trumpet player and innovative jazz rebel Lester Bowie, and the Art Ensemble Of Chicago. After pursuing a number of dead ends, someone at his management company succeeded in tracking down a number for her, J. sent over his first album ("Motion"), they started to converse and hit it off.
Once they had decided on the direction for two collaborations, J. and bass player P.J. France flew out to St Louis and stayed there for a few days, spending time with Fontella and family, meeting all her grandkids and looking at lots of photos of Art Ensemble. Bowie had died two years previously and was still very much alive to her. She talked about him, played his music, looked at his pictures. Then she and J. recorded two incredible pieces of music. "I was surprised by how welcoming and warm it was - I was a little nervous that she might just do her job but she put everything into it."
They laid down "Evolution" (which also features on the album) with very few hitches, but Fontella was struggling with the music that would become "All That You Give" and J. couldn't quite understand why. And then suddenly it clicked and she poured out the melody and lyrics in one amazing take, beginning to cry as the tape was re-wound.
"It was the first time that she'd cried for Lester," J. explains. "She heard it as a love song - I think she heard it and she found it reminded her of Lester which was why it was hard." But it's also why the results are so beautiful, the kind of performance that comes out of trust and understanding between musicians. The song is dedicated to the memory of her late husband.
It's a sad song, undoubtedly, but also an uplifting one - a celebration of life as well as a memorial. And in that, it's a classic.
