19、w Orleans to celebrate the first annual International Jazz Day. UNESCO( United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization) recently set April 30 as a day to raise awareness of jazz music, its significance, and its potential as a unifying(联合) voice across cultures.一些世界上最著名的音乐家近来聚集在巴黎和新
20、奥尔良为了庆祝第一届国际爵士音乐节。联合国教科文组织近来设定4月30日作为提升人们对于爵士乐的意识(认识),同时提升其重要性及其作为一个连接各文化纽带之声的潜在可能性的一个日子。Despite the celebrations, though, in theU.S.the jazz audience continues to shrink and grow older, and the music has failed to connect with younger generations.尽管有这次庆祝,在美国,爵士乐欣赏的观众继续减少,而且观众年龄变大(老龄化),这种音乐形式没能够与年轻一
21、代人联系起来。这是Jason Moran的工作去改变这一点(爵士乐不受年轻人的欢迎)。作为肯尼迪艺术中心爵士乐的顾问,Moran希望去增加喜爱爵士乐听众的群体,使得这种音乐能够更多为人们所接近,进而保存爵士乐的历史和文化。“Jazz seems like its not really a part of the American appetite,” Moran tells National Public Radios reporter Neal Conan. “What Im hoping to accomplish is that my generation and younger sta
22、rt to reconsider and understand that jazz is not black and white anymore. Its actually color, and its actually digital.”“爵士乐似乎不是美国人口味(胃口)的一部分”,Moran告诉National Public Radio记者Neal Conan。 “我希望实现的是我这一代人和年轻一代重新考虑和理解爵士乐不再是黑与白的特点,而实际上是色彩(丰富多彩的),实际上数码的。” Moran says one of the problems with jazz today is tha
23、t the entertainment aspect of the music has been lost. “The music cant be presented today the way it was in 1908 or 1958. It has to continue to move, because the way the world works is not the same,” says Moran.Moran 说今天的爵士乐的一个问题是这种音乐娱乐方面的特点在丧失。 Moran 说“这种音乐无法再以1908或者1958年的方式被呈现出来。它必须要继续前进,因为这个世界运作的
24、方式不再是一样的了。”Last year, Moran worked on a project that arranged Fats Wallers music for a dance party, “just to kind of put it back in the mind that Waller is dance music as much as it is concert music,” says Moran. “For me, its the recontextualization. In music, where does the emotion(情感) lie? Are we,
25、 as humans, gaining any insight(感悟) on how talk about ourselves and how something as abstract as a Charlie Parker record gets us into a dialogue about our emotions and our thoughts? Sometimes we lose sight that the music has a wider context,” says Moran, “so I want to continue those dialogues. Those
26、 are the things I want to foster.”去年,Moran致力于一个项目,安排了Fats Waller的音乐参加一个舞蹈聚会,Moran 说“只是有点想让让人们重新恢复那种思维,Waller音乐既是舞曲音乐也是音乐会音乐。”“对我来说,这是一种语境重构。在音乐里,我们的情感存在于哪里?在就如何谈论我们自己,在像Charlie Parker的唱片中那样抽象的某种东西让我们谈论我们的情感和思想,我们人类是否能够在这样的过程中得到一些感悟呢?有的时候我们失去了一些视野,那就是音乐拥有更广泛的语境,所以我想把这些谈话继续下去,这些事情是我想加强的事情。” Moran说到。28
