爵士吉他手肖骏首张科幻视觉主义原创爵士专辑《三棱镜》 ...

于中国爵士乐坛而言，这并非一张常见的专辑——视觉性封面、科幻色调，似乎难以想象其背后的爵士器乐属性。

肖骏，或许你对这个名字还少有耳闻，从上音毕业，至纽约进修、旅居，他将多年所学所思所感融汇于这张原创专辑《三棱镜》（Triangular Prism）中。听专辑里的曲目，不论是独一无二的标志性吉他音色，还是层次丰富的和弦色彩，抑或营造于旋律下的空间感和线条感，在展露其出众纯熟的音乐把控能力的同时，又处处别出心裁，句句暗藏想象。专辑科幻视觉风格与音乐所传达的主题相得益彰，不拘于传统规则。关于取名《三棱镜》，用肖骏的话来概括——一束白光透过三棱镜可以折射出多种光线色彩，而爵士乐正是这一玄妙的载体。

专辑内11首作品皆为原创，于2017年6月在纽约布鲁克林录制完成，联合的乐手是纽约爵士圈最活跃的明星音乐家：爵士钢琴演奏家Kevin Hays、贝司演奏家Rick Rosato、萨克斯手Alex Lore以及鼓手Jerad Lippi，并由3次格莱美获得者Dave Darlington完成后期混音工作。

Jun Xiao is a young and rising jazz guitarist and composer from Dali, in China's Yunnan province. He holds a bachelor’s degree from the Shanghai Conservatory and a master’s degree in jazz performance from SUNY Purchase Conservatory of Music. Jun Xiao's innovative talents have caught the attention of the Nanjing University of the Arts where he presently teaches. In 2016, his quintet was selected as one of six finalists for the Next Generation Jazz Festival, an esteemed music event organized in conjunction with the Monterey Jazz Festival.

Jun Xiao's debut album, Triangular Prism encompasses his thoughts and experiences from living in Shanghai and New York. All eleven tracks are original compositions that were recorded in Brooklyn, New York. The album features respected musicians from the area including pianist Kevin Hays, bassist Rick Rosato, saxophonist Alex Lore, and drummer Jerad Lippi. Triangular Prism was mixed by three-time Grammy award winner Dave Darlington and will be presented by JZ Music in December 2017 with distribution by Sony Music China.
