《不完全爵士》比爵士乐更多

  每周日晚八点 ICS

 

      《不完全爵士》（More Than Jazz）讲的是爵士乐，所包含的却比爵士乐更多。这是中国大陆第一家专门讲爵士乐的节目。 它结合上海独特的历史文化背景与艺术欣赏习惯，针对正日益走向社会主流的学历较高、对电视文艺节目有较高鉴赏需求的英语或双语、白领或金领人群，深层次、全方位地对爵士乐以及其他各种音乐类型进行描绘与诠释，全心打造一个宽泛与包容的“大爵士”的音乐概念。

      《不完全爵士》对爵士乐的渊源作真实回顾，邀请专业乐手从内行的视角看待音乐巨人们的传奇人生，解读他们的经典之作。每星期都会有国外或本土的优秀乐队来到节目中作客并作现场表演。精心设置的Jazz Tips小栏目是个不容错过的趣味看点，资深乐手在镜头前生动自然地演示与爵士乐有关的概念、技巧或者乐器，使观众在短时间内即有洞其究竟之感。

       除爵士之外，各种音乐艺术形式都能在《不完全爵士》找到卓越的施展空间。国际的，国内的，非爵士，泛爵士的优秀乐队在这里得以自由演绎各种原创音乐。客座《不完全爵士》的乐手们常说：爵士乐从来就是“More Than Jazz”，因为它每天都在和不同形式的音乐相交融着，而且每天都在演变着 ― 爵士乐永远都是新的。

      《不完全爵士》所力图呈现的正是这种全新与包容。

 

More than Jazz for More Music

ICS - 8:00 PM Sunday, weekly

More than Jazz is a program primarily focused on Jazz music, yet it covers so much more.

More Than Jazz – the name speaks for itself. It's the first music program specializing in jazz in Chinese Mainland. Combining the historical and cultural background of Shanghai, with its unique appreciation for art, the show is aimed at well-educated white-collar English-speaking or bi-lingual audiences, who share a high-level demand for artistic appreciation. The program is dedicated to the deep understanding and interpreting of jazz and other related genres of music, creating a widened and comprehensive concept of Jazz.

More than Jazz provides insight into the origins of jazz by inviting professional musicians to tell the legends of music's "greats", and discuss some of their classic pieces. Each week the show invites outstanding groups, from both China and abroad, to give exclusive performances for the viewing audience. In our "Tip" section, we entertain audiences with active and natural explanations by advanced players on the concepts, techniques, or instruments related to Jazz, encouraging viewers to try first-hand.

Besides jazz, all kinds of music can find their stage here. We welcome all outstanding musical groups (international, local, non-jazz, or pan-jazz) to perform their original music on More than Jazz.

Most of the musicians appearing on More than Jazz agree: "Jazz has always been 'More than Jazz", since it's constantly blending in other styles of music, and performances change from day to day – Jazz will always be new."

All of this is what More than Jazz represents.
