I thank you so much for the interpretation of my music
感谢你们对我的乐曲的演奏
That was really touching
非常让人感动
But, across the music of Geri Allen, and Thara Memory, Valerie Simpson's music
昨晚有婕莉·爱伦 他拉·麦莫里 瓦莱丽·辛普森的音乐
which is superb, I must say
我不得不说 这非常棒
Valerie Simpson was absolutely superb last night
瓦莱丽·辛普森的音乐昨晚真是太棒了
Absolutely. Yeah
超级棒
But also just to hear the brass section that you have here
还有昨晚的铜管乐合奏
hearing them last night from the audience, just down there
从下面那里的观众席听到
was so powerful and so precise and so punchy
如此震撼 如此精确 如此有力
and everything about what real good brass sections should be about
一切铜管乐应有的优秀品质都到位了
Fantastic soloists there
还有美妙的独唱
It was just moving, right across the whole of the evening's event
非常动人 整晚的活动都非常精彩
and I must say that being here in a college
我不得不说 在这样一所学院中
I have to sort of be perfectly honest with you all that I was sort of self-taught
我需要完全诚实 我都是自学的
Not such a bad thing because I learnt from records
这并不是什么坏事 我从唱片中学习
and trying to sort of interpret playing of what would be my guitar heroes from there
然后尝试在我的吉他上进行演奏
Along the way I became a, I think you call it a side-man here, a session musician
过程中 我变成了一个伴奏乐手
And I was going in there and I'd have the charts
我到这里面 我有一些和弦图
I was head-hunted for this, actually, curiously enough
说来也奇怪 我被猎头相中了
but I couldn't read music at that time
当时我还读不懂音乐
But I could read the chord charts
不过我能读和弦图
and the session musicians in those days
当时的伴奏乐手
would play across quite a wide variety of music
需要演奏的音乐范畴非常广
It wouldn't be, like, if you were a guitarist
不能说 你是一个吉他乐手
you wouldn't just be the stylist in your own sort of field
你就只需要在自己专长的领域进行演奏
I had quite a number of guitar techniques that I'd evolved over my teenage years
因此 我在十几岁的时候培养出了很多吉他技术
