意大利顶级爵士乐畅响世博 10月15日起连续5天共20场演出精彩不容错过

上海，2010年10月12日- 自上海世博会开幕至今的五个月中，意大利馆以其丰富多彩的文化活动吸引了众多游客。活动内容涉及诸多领域，从艺术到建筑，从戏剧到舞蹈，可谓异彩纷呈。仅音乐一项，意大利馆已在世博园中及上海市内已举办了12场音乐会。近日，意大利顶级爵士乐将畅响世博，为上海献上惊艳厚礼。

2010年上海世博会意大利政府总代表贝良米诺·昆迭里（Beniamino Quintieri）先生表示，“意大利以丰厚的音乐遗产著称于世，人们常常将意大利与高亢有力的歌剧以及古典优雅的交响乐联系起来。此次，意大利馆将从另一面为世博献上顶级爵士乐，期待借此机会向中国观众展现我国生机勃勃的爵士文化。”

近年来，爵士乐在上海强劲复兴，10月份沪上乐迷将迎来年度爵士音乐节。这个秋天注定将充溢着浓郁的意域风情，意大利最炙手可热的爵士乐演奏家们（其中多人还是首次亮相中国）将与中国本土及世界各国顶尖的艺术家们携手献艺。

届时，观众们可以欣赏到：保罗·弗莱苏（Paolo Fresu）的悠扬小号和他的“PAF”三人组合（弗里欧·迪·卡斯特罗（Furio Di Castro）任贝司手，安东内洛·萨里斯（Antonello Salis）任钢琴师）；拥有动人颤音和独特R & B曲风的格格·泰勒斯弗洛（Gege Telesforo）及他的“So Cool”五人组合，斯特诺凡·波拉尼（Stefano Bollani）的灵动十指演出；鼓手罗伯托·戈度（Roberto Gatto）及其“The Music of Next Door”四人组合，钢琴师丹尼罗·瑞安（Danilo Rea）、贝司手恩佐·皮埃特罗帕里（Enzo Pietropaoli）和鼓手阿米地奥·阿德里亚诺（Amedeo Adriano）组成的“Trio Roma乐团；以及来自西西里的年轻天才弗朗西斯科·卡斐索（Francesco Cafiso）及其“4out”四人组合。这一系列的饕餮演出将令观众赞叹不已。

上述演出将向人们展现意大利音乐文化的深度与多样性，这将大大拓展人们对意大利音乐的认识，意大利不只有古典音乐。这些音乐家和乐队组合将在本月同时抵沪，为非同凡响的音效做好充足准备。这20场音乐会将在世博园欧洲广场、上海“House of Blues and Jazz”酒吧，以及金茂音乐厅隆重登场。

关于爵士乐在意大利的历史，还要追溯到第一次世界大战期间，当时美国士兵来到意大利，把爵士乐也带进了这个国家，并很快受到大众的喜爱。无论是意大利本土的爵士乐还是美国的爵士风格，爵士乐在意大利全国迅速兴盛起来。值得一提的是，意大利的爵士乐还融合了欧洲的歌谣、经典的作曲技巧，以及民间的音乐，呈现出其特有的音乐形式。今天，意大利全国的爵士乐酒吧和各种音乐盛会构成了整个意大利的爵士乐舞台。翁布里亚音乐节（The Umbria Jazz Festival）自1973年起在意大利城市佩鲁贾（Perugia）举行，吸引了大批民众聚集在此，人们一边徜徉在中世纪建筑群中，一边享受这场盛大的音乐盛宴。佩斯卡拉爵士音乐节（The Pescara Jazz Festival）是意大利首个专门针对爵士乐的音乐节，自1969年以来各种爵士乐传奇人物在此音乐节上进行过表演，例如路易斯·阿姆斯特朗（Louis Armstrong）, 迪兹·吉莱斯皮（Dizzy Gillespie） 和艾拉·菲茨吉拉德（Ella Fitzgerald）。

“The Best of Italian Jazz” Swings into Shanghai Expo; 20 Concerts in Five Days from October 15 to October 19

Shanghai, October 12, 2010 – Over the past five months, the Italian Pavilion has enchanted Shanghai Expo visitors with a rich cultural programme that has ranged from art and architecture to theatre and dance. In the field of music alone, the Pavilion has held more than twelve concerts in locations across the Expo grounds and downtown Shanghai. Now, for the final month of the Expo, Shanghai is being treated to “The Best of Italian Jazz”.

“Italy is well known for its deep musical heritage, although typically the soaring sounds of opera and classical symphony are most closely associated with the country. By bringing ‘The Best of Italian Jazz’ to Shanghai, the Italian Pavilion hopes to showcase our country’s vibrant Jazz culture to Chinese audiences,” said Mr. Beniamino Quintieri, Commissioner General of Italy for Shanghai World Expo 2010.

In recent years, Jazz has experienced a dynamic revival in Shanghai, and come October the city will welcome back its annual Jazz festival. This autumn it will be infused with Italian flair, as a host of Italy’s hottest Jazz musicians – many of whom will be performing in China for the first time – take to the stage alongside the finest Chinese and international artists.

Audiences will be wowed by the trumpetof Paolo Fresu and his “PAF trio” (with Furio Di Castro on bass and Antonello Salis on piano); the trills and R & B styling of Gege Telesforo with his quintet “So Cool”; the fast fingers of Stefano Bollani; drummer Roberto Gatto’s quartet"The Music of Next Door"; “Trio Roma” with the fantastic Danilo Rea on piano, Enzo Pietropaoli on bass and Amedeo Adriano on drums; and finally by the new spin, the young Sicilian prodigy Francesco Cafiso and his quartet “4out” puts on classics.

Each of these performances will showcase the depth and variety of Italian musical culture – which extends well beyond the classical music that has made it famous. Musicians and bands will come together over the month – blending registers and mixing cadence – for a truly special sound. In total, 20 concerts will be held across the city at locations ranging from the Expo’s Europe Square, “The House of Blues and Jazz” on the Bund and the Jin Mao Concert Hall.

Originally brought to Italy by American soldiers in World War I, Jazz quickly gained popularity, with home-grown Italian equivalents to popular American Jazz styles flourishing across the country. Incorporating European song forms, classical composition techniques and folk music, Italian Jazz took on a sound of its own. Today, the country’s Jazz scene bustles with Jazz clubs and festivals across the country. The Umbria Jazz Festival, which has been held in the city of Perugia since 1973, draws crowds who flock to enjoy the spectacular blend of medieval architecture and music. The Pescara Jazz Festival, the first Italian festival devoted solely to Jazz music, has been drawing Jazz legends such as Louis Armstrong, Dizzy Gillespie and Ella Fitzgerald to perform since 1969.
