几代人的时间里，理查德·罗杰斯的音乐始终吸引着听众的耳朵与想象。这位传奇作曲家的作品已成为音乐时代精神的一部分，许多歌曲比其所属的音乐剧或电影更经久不衰。因此，丹尼·蔡特林在钢琴家的新独奏录音《心中的歌：探索理查德·罗杰斯的音乐》中选择聚焦罗杰斯及其典范之作，也就不足为奇了。
理查德·罗杰斯被视为20世纪最杰出的作曲家之一。他巧妙地将和声与旋律融合，以一种天衣无缝的自然方式实现了这一点。罗杰斯无限的创意确保了他的音乐永远新鲜，从不过时。不难理解为何爵士音乐家长期以来一直欣赏罗杰斯的作品，因为这些作品很容易被注入新的活力。
从2009年开始，蔡特林在奥克兰的皮埃蒙特钢琴公司享受了十年的年度独奏音乐会。到2014年，他每场音乐会都致力于探索一位作曲家的作品。在演绎过韦恩·肖特、塞隆尼斯·蒙克、迈尔斯·戴维斯、比利·斯特雷霍恩和乔治·格什温的作品后，蔡特林将目光投向了罗杰斯的音乐。蔡特林第一次接触罗杰斯的作品是在童年时期，当时他在舞台和银幕上看到了《俄克拉荷马！》。他立刻被吸引住了，从高中开始，罗杰斯的音乐就成为蔡特林演出曲目的常规组成部分。
为了准备2019年12月在皮埃蒙特钢琴公司的演出，蔡特林上网重温了他喜爱的罗杰斯的歌曲，同时也发现了一些新的作品。
在做出选择后，他开始对这些素材进行即兴创作和处理，在尊重这些作品特殊性的同时，留意为它们注入新活力的方式。这些歌曲逐渐形成了松散的编排，通常涉及自由即兴创作、新的拍号、重新和声，以及通过重复和聚焦主题进行结构重组。蔡特林的目标是以一种全新的方式呈现这些作品，在编排中为即兴创作挖掘新的挑战。在演出中，他希望让音乐自然流淌，相信自己的潜意识会用新的音乐解决方案给自己带来惊喜。
《心中的歌》呈现了蔡特林以自己卓越而广阔的方式重新想象的十一首作品。前半部分于2019年12月13日在皮埃蒙特钢琴公司现场录制，后半部分则于11月和12月在蔡特林家中的双螺旋录音室录制。
现场演出以1938年创作的《与爱相恋》开场，这首歌讲述了爱情的无奈。蔡特林深思熟虑的演绎以一段即兴的前奏开始，在经历一系列和声变调后，才进入轻快的旋律。《不知此刻何时》被改编成引人入胜的7/4拍，在演奏中展现出一种探索性和推进性的特质。蔡特林在研究期间发现了他此前未知的《他对我太好》，在这首动人的民谣中，他探索了歌曲形式的方方面面。
蔡特林为1937年的歌曲《单音约翰尼》加入了桑巴风格的活力，而他将辛纳屈的最爱《等你见到她》演绎成一首令人心动的华尔兹。欢快的《我的一切》以强劲的滚动节奏和密集的和声演奏。蔡特林对这首歌的每个方面都进行了重新编排，以挖掘其所有的音乐潜力。
后半部分以录音室录制的《险些属于我》开始，这首丰富的编排以5/4拍演奏。《你见过琼斯小姐吗？》在蔡特林俏皮的演绎下充满活力，他找到了新的节奏和变调。蔡特林将《国王与我》中的《我曾梦想》演绎成一首轻快的巴萨诺瓦，散发出温暖和希望，而《南太平洋》中的《愉快交谈》则被彻底剖析，主题被揭示和重新塑造。录音以《心中的歌》结束，演绎得感人而真诚。
丹尼·蔡特林有一种不可思议的能力，能为知名的保留曲目注入新的光芒。这位钢琴家对理查德·罗杰斯音乐的重新探索尤其具有启发性，因为这位伟大作曲家的作品似乎渴望被深入解读。《心中的歌》展示了创作者和焕新者双方的卓越才华。

For generations, the music of Richard Rodgers has been capturing listeners’ ears and imaginations. The legendary composer’s songs have become a part of the musical zeitgeist, many outlasting the musicals or films they were created for. It is no surprise that Denny Zeitlin chose to spotlight Rodgers and his exemplary work on the pianist’s new solo recording, With a Song In My Heart: Exploring The Music of Richard Rodgers.
Richard Rodgers is considered one of the finest composers of the 20th century. He mastered the challenge of integrating harmony and melody, accomplishing this in a seamlessly natural way. Rodgers’ limitless ideas insured that his music remains forever fresh and never dated. It is easy to see why jazz musicians have long appreciated Rodgers’ work, as it is easy to breathe new life into.
Beginning in 2009, Zeitlin enjoyed a decade of annual solo concerts at Oakland’s Piedmont Piano Company. By 2014, he was devoting each concert to an exploration of a single composer. Having done Wayne Shorter, Thelonious Monk, Miles Davis, Billy Strayhorn, and George Gershwin, Zeitlin set his sights on the music of Rodgers. Zeitlin had first encountered Rodgers’ work as a child when he saw Oklahoma! on the stage and screen. He was immediately hooked and Rodgers’ music became regular components of Zeitlin’s sets from high school on.
To prepare for his December 2019 performance at Piedmont Piano, Zeitlin took to the internet to remind himself of the Rodgers songs he loved and, also, discover new ones.
After making his selection, he began improvising and working with the material, alert to ways he could breathe new life into these compositions while honoring their specialness. Loose arrangements of the songs emerged, often involving free improvisation, new time signatures, reharmonization, and restructuring through repetition and focus on motifs. Zeitlin’s goal was to present the compositions in a fresh way that would unearth new challenges within the arrangement for improvisation. In performance, he hoped to get out of the way of the music and trust his unconscious to surprise himself with new musical solutions.
With a Song In My Heart presents eleven pieces that Zeitlin reimagines in his own brilliant and expansive way. The first half of the program was recorded live at Piedmont Piano Company on December 13, 2019, while the other half was recorded at Zeitlin’s Double Helix Studio at his home during sessions in November and December.
The live program begins with “Falling In Love with Love,” a 1938 composition dealing with the hopelessness of love. Zeitlin’s thoughtful take begins with an improvised intro, which moves through a series of harmonic modulations before settling into its buoyantly played melody. “I Didn’t Know What Time It Was” is reworked into an intriguing 7/4-time signature and finds a searching, propulsive quality in performance. Previously unknown to him, Zeitlin discovered “He Was Too Good To Me” during his research period. Zeitlin explores the ins and outs of the song form on this moving ballad.
Zeitlin adds zest to a samba inflected version of the 1937 song, “Johnny One Note,” while he plays the Sinatra favorite, “Wait Till You See Her,” as a heart-melting waltz. The upbeat “Ev’rything I’ve Got” is played with a vigorously rolling rhythm and dense harmony. Zeitlin reworks every facet of the song to exercise all of the song’s musical potential.
The second half begins the studio recordings with “This Nearly Was Mine,” this lush arrangement performed in 5/4-time. “Have You Met Miss Jones” dances with Zeitlin’s playful touch, as he finds new rhythms and modulations. Zeitlin performs “I Have Dreamed” from The King and I as a lilting bossa nova, exuding warmth and hope, while South Pacific’s “Happy Talk” is thoroughly examined, the motifs exposed and reinvented. The recording concludes with “With a Song In My Heart,” performed in a touchingly honest rendition.
Denny Zeitlin has an incredible ability to infuse new light into well-known repertory works. The pianist’s reinvestigation of the music of Richard Rodgers is particularly illuminating, as the great composer’s works seem to beg for thoughtful readings. With a Song In My Heart showcases the brilliance of both men, the creator and the rejuvenator.
