简介：小简介\nJeanne Lee 这位前卫女歌手，早在六十年代就开始唱了，但是留下的专辑很少，较有名的录音是 1961 年，与前卫钢琴师 Ran Blake 合作的 "The Newest Sound Around"，四十多年前这种钢琴和女声 Duet 的前卫作品，实在很稀有，现在听来依然觉得独特。 \nby Ron Wynn\nJeanne Lee combines acrobatic vocal maneuvers with a deeply moving sound and quality that allows her to alternate between soaring, upper register flights and piercing, emotive interpretations. Shes extremely precise and flexible, and moves from a song or solos top end to its middle and bottom accompanying an instrument with a stunning ease. Though many critics have cited Lee as creating free jazzs most innovative vocal approach, shes done very little recording, almost none of it as a leader, and even less on American labels. Shes best-known for her many sessions with Gunther Hampel. Lee studied dance rather than music at Bard College, but while a student there, she met Ran Blake. They formed a duo, and she did her first recordings with him, which excited many critics. They toured Europe in 1963. Lee moved to California in 1964 and worked with Ian Underwood and sound poet David Hazelton, whom she later married. She and Hampel established their musical relationship while Lee was in Europe in 1967, going on to record over 20 albums together. Lee also recorded with Archie Shepp, Sunny Murray, and Hampel in the late 60s, and with Marion Brown, Anthony Braxton, Enrico Rava, and Andrew Cyrille in the 70s, while also working with Cecil Taylor. She began composing extensively in the 80s and began concentrating on performing her original material, which frequently included poetic and dance components. Most of her recordings have either been done for European labels or small independents. After living in New York in the mid-90s, Lee taught at two music conservatories in Europe for several years. In 2000, Lee faced colon cancer without medical insurance. Some months after surgery, creative music lost a great voice. Benefit concerts (to help the family with expenses) were held by a number of jazz musicians, including Joseph Jarman, Gunter Hampel, Rashied Ali, Hamiet Bluiett, Abbey Lincoln, and many more. 基本内容：??代表作：《火烈鸟飞起的地方》、《有时我感觉像一个没有母亲的孩子》、《忧郁的蒙克》 <br/> ??当一张名为《最新声音环绕》的唱片重见天日时，人们才发现在爵士乐浩瀚的历史里竟然有那么多流星几乎是一闪即逝了，珍妮-李和兰-布莱克在39年前搅动的一场寂静风暴，至今还残留着一些莫名的东西碰撞着我们的现代品味。 <br/> ??那是一个鼓乐飞扬的时代，人们喜爱热烈欢快的艺术情绪，因为大家需要用饱满的颗粒去填充内心萧条的沟壑。而歌手珍妮和钢琴手布莱克的选择是什么呢？这张唱片当年的评论是这样的：一张祭礼的唱片。人声稀薄，钢琴无形，音乐在空间里悬而不决。 <br/> ??一次向寂静和灵敏的致敬。自由的真正意义。珍妮的声音就像一副超薄形的测听器，测量并报告出我们生命里真正恐惧的是寂静的极限。 <br/> 她是唱爵士的，可是至始至终声音在她那里都是被当作一件乐器来磨砺的，磨啊磨啊，磨到使人一听就再也忘不掉了，all in all，被打磨成这个样子的断句与转调也只有在Jeanne Lee这里才能听得到了。1961年，年轻的Jeanne Lee在纽约的Bard遇到了年轻的Ran Blake，“战后最黑暗的声音”遇到了“满脑子想法”的钢琴手，那一年的12月份，当他们合作的唱片The Newest Sound Around出现在公众面前的时候，Gunther Schuller惊呼道：从来没有听过有人这样唱歌的！是没有，可能也不再会有，听听Summertime被唱成了什么样子，难怪Schuller老先生要如此惊讶。不过这以后，主动找上门来要与她合作的乐手倒是络绎不绝，Carla Bley、Archie Shepp、Marion Brown、Anthony Braxton、Sunny Murray，总之都是一些古怪的人，相当古怪。 <br/>
