Marilyn Crispell - 特写封面（Michael Patrick Kelly）

Marilyn Crispell

Marilyn Crispell 是美国钢琴家、作曲家与教育家，也是当代自由爵士与即兴音乐的重要声音。她以充满张力、同时保有抒情线条的钢琴语言闻名，作品在自由即兴、结构意识与空间感之间不断探索。她于2025年获美国国家艺术基金会（NEA）爵士大师荣誉，并于2026年获得 Jazz Foundation of America 与 Mellon Foundation 设立的 Jazz Legacy Award。

Crispell 生于费城，在马里兰州巴尔的摩成长，早年于 Peabody Conservatory 学习钢琴，后毕业于新英格兰音乐学院，主修古典钢琴与作曲。她在二十多岁后期因聆听 John Coltrane 而深入接触爵士，随后跟随 Charlie Banacos 学习，并受 Cecil Taylor 等音乐家的即兴实践启发，逐渐形成个人鲜明的自由演奏风格。1977年起，她定居纽约州 Woodstock，并参与当地 Creative Music Studio 的学习与教学，接触到 Anthony Braxton 等先锋音乐家。

自1970年代末登上国际舞台后，Crispell 长期活跃于独奏、三重奏、大型即兴乐团与跨领域合作。她曾加入 Anthony Braxton 的 Creative Music Orchestra，并在 Braxton 四重奏中演奏多年；也与 Reggie Workman Ensemble、Barry Guy New Orchestra、Roscoe Mitchell、Wadada Leo Smith 等音乐家合作。她的个人录音首作《Live in Berlin》于1982年发行，参与演奏者包括小提琴家 Billy Bang、低音提琴手 Peter Kowald 与鼓手 John Betsch。她既以充满能量的独奏著称，也不断发展精细、富有留白的室内乐式对话。

Crispell 的创作并不限于爵士曲目。她演奏并录制过 Robert Cogan、John Cage、Pauline Oliveros 等当代作曲家的作品，曾参与纽约城市歌剧院演出 Anthony Davis 的歌剧《X》，也与电影、影像、舞蹈及诗歌艺术家合作。她自2018年起成为 Joe Lovano Trio Tapestry 的成员，参与 ECM 发行的同名专辑及后续录音。她还在美国、欧洲、加拿大、阿根廷、澳大利亚与新西兰举办即兴音乐工作坊和讲座，曾共同主持 Vancouver Creative Music Institute，并任教于 Banff Centre 国际爵士工作坊。

2026年3月，Crispell 与瑞典低音提琴家 Anders Jormin 发行双人专辑《Memento》，延续两人之间细腻、开放的即兴对话。她的创作生涯曾获古根海姆作曲奖学金、纽约艺术基金会多项奖助及 Mary Flagler Cary Charitable Trust 作曲委约；在持续演奏与教学中，她始终把即兴视为一种兼具倾听、记忆和即时构形的作曲过程。

Amina Claudine Myers 的爵士音乐家照片

Amina Claudine Myers

Amina Claudine Myers（阿米娜·克劳丁·迈尔斯）是美国爵士钢琴家、管风琴演奏家、歌手、作曲家、编曲家与教育者，以将爵士即兴与福音音乐、布鲁斯及灵歌传统融为一体的独特语言著称。她1942年出生于阿肯色州布莱克韦尔，童年时期开始学习钢琴，也在教会环境中接触福音音乐；后来就读阿肯色州菲兰德·史密斯学院，主修音乐教育。

迈尔斯在芝加哥任教期间持续参与音乐活动，并于1966年加入由音乐家自发组织的 AACM（Association for the Advancement of Creative Musicians）。她在这一先锋社群中发展出兼具创作与即兴的个人声音，为人声、器乐与合唱团创作作品。20世纪70年代迁居纽约后，她拓展了戏剧与舞台创作，曾参与百老汇音乐剧《Ain’t Misbehavin’》早期制作，并为多部外百老汇作品作曲。

作为乐队领奏者，她发行了《Poems for Piano: The Piano Music of Marion Brown》《Song for Mother E》《Salutes Bessie Smith》《The Circle of Time》《Amina》《In Touch》《Augmented Variations》《Sama Rou: Songs from My Soul》等作品；在钢琴、Hammond B-3 管风琴与歌唱之间自如转换，作品常由布鲁斯和福音音乐的旋律感出发，延伸至自由即兴与前卫爵士。她也长期与 Lester Bowie、Muhal Richard Abrams、Archie Shepp、Charlie Haden、Henry Threadgill、Bill Laswell 等音乐家合作，并与 Wadada Leo Smith 合作录制《Central Park’s Mosaics of Reservoir, Lake, Paths and Gardens》（2024）。

迈尔斯曾在北美、欧洲、亚洲、非洲及澳大利亚演出，并持续开展教学、工作坊与驻校活动。她获得多项艺术资助与荣誉，包括 2021 年 Mid Atlantic Arts Foundation Living Legacy Award；2024 年获美国国家艺术基金会（NEA）授予 NEA Jazz Master，成为美国爵士乐的重要传承者之一。

Adam O’Farrill 的爵士音乐家照片

Adam O'Farrill

Adam O’Farrill 是出生并成长于纽约布鲁克林的当代爵士小号手、作曲家与即兴音乐家。他以清晰而富有弹性的音色、精密又不循常规的节奏构思受到关注；作品游走于后波普、室内乐、自由即兴、电子音乐与电影叙事之间，既回应爵士传统，也持续寻找新的形式与声音。

O’Farrill 出身于著名音乐家庭：祖父 Chico O’Farrill 是 Afro-Cuban 作曲与编曲的重要人物，父亲 Arturo O’Farrill 是钢琴家、作曲家及 Afro Latin Jazz Orchestra 领队，母亲 Alison Deane 则是古典钢琴家，哥哥 Zack O’Farrill 是鼓手与作曲家。Adam 自幼接触古典、爵士与 Afro-Latin 音乐，六岁开始学钢琴，八岁转向小号。他在 Fiorello H. LaGuardia High School 学习后进入 Manhattan School of Music，逐渐在纽约新一代实验爵士乐手中建立独特位置。

他曾在 Thelonious Monk Institute of Jazz 小号比赛获得第三名，并与 Rudresh Mahanthappa、Mary Halvorson、Anna Webber、Vijay Iyer、Tyshawn Sorey、Mulatu Astatke、Hiromi、Son Lux 及 Samora Pinderhughes 等音乐家合作。作为乐队领队，他以《Stranger Days》（2016）与《El Maquech》（2018）展开对电影、文学、墨西哥民间音乐和爵士即兴的探索；《Visions of Your Other》（2021）与大型编制作品《For These Streets》（2025）则呈现他更宽广的作曲视野。2026 年推出的《ELEPHANT》及其豪华版继续发展其小号、电子声响与室内乐式编制的结合。

O’Farrill 的音乐不容易被单一地域或流派标签概括。他会把小号的歌唱性、错位节拍、精细编曲与抽象音色并置，让熟悉的爵士语汇转向意想不到的方向；他也以不断变化的合作阵容保持作品的开放性。其创作曾获 ASCAP Foundation、The Jazz Gallery、Roulette 等机构支持，并在 DownBeat Critics Poll 获得 Rising Star Trumpet 荣誉，成为当代爵士小号领域备受瞩目的声音之一。
