     專輯類型： 1CD 發行年份： 2012 國際條碼： 0888072332751 音樂廠牌： Heads Up "Pianist and composer David Benoit has something to say. It's clear from his multi-dimensional body of work across three-and-a-half decades, and his deep jazz roots that still allow room for forays into classical, Latin, pop, world music and a range of other sounds. The connections and associations he has made along the way have resulted in a fascinating and ongoing interplay between musics, musicians and musical philosophies. Simply put, Benoit is engaged in a conversation - a dynamic and ongoing act of communication that results in a sound that's consistently engaging and entertaining. Benoit takes the discussion to a new level of creative exchange on Conversation, his new album set for release on Heads Up International, a division of Concord Music Group. "When I started making records, I never conformed to a specific format,"says Benoit, whose recording career began with the release of Heavier Than Yesterday in 1977. "Mostly my records were just me writing and playing my own music, directly from my heart. I've come back to that on this record, but using some orchestral colors this time. As a composer, I've stretched a bit, and this really represents where I am right now as a pianist, as a musician, as a composer. It's a very good snapshot for people who have been following me for a while. This is where I am right now. I'm not pandering to radio. I'm just doing what I love to do, and that's what's been so much fun about it."Benoit gets assistance along the way from musicians representing a broad cross section of styles: electric guitarist Jeff Golub, acoustic guitarist Pat Kelley, guitarist David Pack, flutist Tim Weisberg, classical pianist Robert Theis and a cadre of young classical players who are fearless about taking their music to less traditional and more adventurous and exploratory places. "As a writer, I really wanted to dig deep on this and try some things with people who weren't afraid to try them with me. It's actually one of the most fun and relaxed records I've made in at least a couple years. It was just nice to not have any kind of agenda. The title of the album really sums it up. There's a lot of conversation going on with this record."The discussion starts with the sweeping and cinematic "Napa Crossroads Overture,"a track co-authored a couple years ago by Benoit and David Pack, GRAMMY Award winning co-founder, guitarist and main vocalist for the band Ambrosia, who appears on this version. "I knew it would fit perfectly on this record,"says Benoit.... 1. Napa Crossroads Overture 3:47 2. Feelin' It 3:57 3. Diary Of A Wimpy Kid 3:07 4. Kei's Song Redux 4:49 5.
