恆春民謠陳達傳人吳登榮 & 啟彬與凱雅國際爵士五重奏

他們，一樣看不懂五線譜
他們，一樣漂洋過海來到新故鄉
他們，一樣是將未來寄託給險惡的海洋
他們，一樣在毒辣的烈陽下開墾出希望
他們，一樣有著精彩的故事與豐富的靈魂
他們，一樣唱著描述鄉愁與寫實困苦的曲調
他們，一樣在琴弦上撥弄出屬於自己的依靠
他們，一樣用生命唱出了人與土地的緊密交織
他們，一樣在音樂中傳承著「我是誰」的密碼
他們，一樣都發展於相似的背景，構成相同的感覺
我們，要串起這樣的故事，藍調、恆春調，都來自南方

爵士樂源自藍調，而藍調，是非洲黑奴穿越大西洋，到達美洲大陸南端，於密西西比河三角洲中孕育出來的獨特樂種，她影響了所有西方當代流行音樂風格，在節奏藍調、爵士樂、搖滾樂、靈魂樂與嘻哈樂中，也深深地維繫著藍調那哀愁而無奈的曲調，甚至是反骨卻世故的精神。

同樣的，在台灣的南方，恆春，一個最早接觸到「唐山過台灣」先民來台屯墾找尋新天地的城鎮，曾經出過知名的民謠詩人陳達，以及他那獨特唱腔的恆春古調《思想起》，加上月琴悄悄地撥奏著，在流行音樂的歷史中，也在民歌時代為我們留下了「我們從哪裡來？」的記憶。

本次的音樂會，將是古與今的現場對話，邀請陳達傳人 – 歌手吳登榮，在臺北爵士音樂節舞台，與啟彬與凱雅的國際爵士五重奏同台演出，將整齣動人的故事，完整而精彩地述說。

"An outstanding percussionist of many styles with extraordinary ability."－ World Music Institute

"Gilad is a very unique player,his talent places him among the very best of my peers"－ Mino Cinelu

"Gilad's success as a performer with Israel's world-class popular and classical musical ensembles prove him to be one of the most accomplished musicians Israel had produced" －Alon Bor, Principle Percussionist with the Israel Philharmonic Orchestra.

Gilad, percussionist, composer and clinician, has been recognized by Jazziz magazine as one of the world's top percussionist. "An outstanding percussionist of many styles with extraordinary ability" as described by Robert Browning (World Music Institute). "Gilad is a very unique player, his talent places him among the very best of my peers" (Mino Cinelu)."Like Willie Bobo and Alex Acuna, Gilad excels at both drums and percussion -but unlike those great players, the Israel-born, Middle Eastern-inspired player excels at both simultaneously through his hybrid drum/percussion setup."(Bill Meredith, assistant editor, JAZZIZ magazine)

Gilad was considered an outstanding child prodigy. He started performing professionally at the age of 7! He started playing classical music and moved on exploring other styles. He performed with the Israel Philharmonic Orchestra, conducted by the well known Zubin Mehta. He was a founder and player of many ethnic groups, creating and performing new music. He performed in theater and TV productions and he was a first call to many leading pop artists. "Gilad's success as a performer with Israel's world-class popular and classical musical ensembles
prove him to be one of the most accomplished musicians Israel had produced" (Alon Bor, Principle Percussionist with the Israel Philharmonic Orchestra).

Since moving to New-York in 1989, Gilad became in constant demand for both live performances and studio recordings in the N.Y. area and all around the world. Gilad had been playing as a member of of Al Di Meola's "World Sinfonia" band. He toured extensively all over the world and played on Di Meola's Word sinfonia CD "The Grand Passion". Gilad's performance and compositional styles draw on diverse range of musical traditions- Middle Eastern, North and West African, Brazilian, Classical and Jazz.
