#每周手账17 Have Faith

  Dear Rosé,  九月待办事项太满没有更新,但是又可以因为演出而忙起来太有意思了。自从疫情爆发这大半年很多演出都取消了,难得在八九月份live演出慢慢在回温,很可惜的是这份热度并没有维持很久,有音乐酒吧的负责人即使艰难的遵守了SOP,与乐手和团员协商,再备上团队与器材去运用网络直播平台吸引了更多买票的线上观众,中途却受到表演执照与版权的限制,所有演出被迫取消或者无限延期,听说乐器和器材还差点了被没收,多亏了负责人帮忙求情。 不只是我国,世界各角落还有很多被逼着放下乐器去打临工谋生的表演专业人士。一双职业拉小提琴的手去当起了建筑搬运工。这场疫情果真一口气让我们都认清现实,“表演艺术是大家的精神粮食,可是它并不是不可或缺的生存必需品。”只有必需品优先被保护起来,冷酷无情的断舍离。 现在进入了十月份,我国疫情的染病指数又继续回升。 当然全世界都一直在被这疫情严重影响着整个生态链。只是这表演艺术背后的艰辛自古以来就没有退路,只要有一股信念在前,这条弯转的路上我们还是会相信前方有我们想要的旅程。 “Have faith. ” - Michael Veerapan "... it’s a privilege to be playing music, but also that we’re doing this instead of working a menial job, like somebody in a coal mine or someone who is growing crops.

And that in order for us to do that, we have to eat the staples from other people’s work every day, so we have a built-in obligation to other people. He’d remind us that it’s our job as a musician,

I have a habit of sharing music with friends on social media and sometimes I receive real good playlist from them too. I do not limit myself by listening to only selected genres, but what I enjoy most is jazz music like big band, instrumental solo, jazz vocal, barbershop quartet, lo-fi, blues, electronic jazz, Afro-Cuban, and Brazilian jazz music. - from Little Melba and Her Big Trombone Studying entrepreneurship without doing it, is like studying the appreciation of music without listening to it. - Seth Godin Alongside my studies in jazz trombone, I complied with my favorite jazz trombone music into a Spotify playlist  which makes me feel inspired whenever I listen. Aside from giants like J.J. Johnson, Carl Fontana, Slide Hampton, Jiggs Whigham, Curtis Fuller, Frank Rosolino, and Urbie Green, I listen to contemporary trombonists in the Brazilian jazz trombone groups with an obsession with the limitless musical capabilities of this instrument. 1.
