Summertime and the livin' is easy
Fish are jumpin' and the cotton is high
Oh your daddy's rich and your ma is good lookin'
So hush little baby, don't you cry
One of these mornings
You're goin' to rise up singing
Then you'll spread your wings
And you'll take the sky
But till that morning
There's a nothin' can harm you
With daddy and mammy standin' by
George Gershwin的音乐加上Ella Fitzgerald和Louis Armstrong的歌声,可谓珠联璧合。其实,用钢琴来弹这首曲子更棒。格什温的音乐听得不算多,可是很喜欢他的爵士加布鲁斯的风格,让人沉静却又有着某种难言的情绪涌动在心头。
格什温的音乐总会让我联想到sepia照片里的纽约和上海,仿佛有前尘往事从蓝调里溢出,环绕周身,让人肆意放纵感觉,不能自已。
夜凉似水的夏天,听这样的乐曲,是一种无以名状的享受。
