Cecile McLorin Salvant - I Didnt Know What Time it Was (Live at Dizzys)

瑟希兒．邁可羅恩 (Cécile McLorin Salvant)，被紐約時報譽為近十年來最好的一位歌手，從21歲出道短短六年，早已經是爵士樂壇最亮眼的一顆新星！引述中部知名音樂教師施孟玟對瑟希兒歌聲的形容：「像是身體裡住了一個爵士老派的靈魂那般優雅、充滿味道。即便你聽不懂歌詞，也能從她的詮釋中捕捉到音樂中的幽默，詼諧，或者感傷，失落。她唱歌非常的有感情，是不油的那種感情，是非常誠懇，並且帶著情感演唱，很具深度的感情！」她的音樂受美國與歐洲環境的雙邊影響，形成一種多元的風格，帶著美國邁阿密的熱情、法國普羅旺斯的柔情，讓她的音樂語言，逗趣戲謔中保有清新風格、念舊情懷中情緒掌握得宜。

今年夏天的一大盛事，榮獲2016 第58屆葛萊美獎最佳爵士演唱專輯獎、2016美國爵士記者協會年度女歌手獎、2010 孟克國際爵士大賽等三大獎項得主 -瑟西兒．麥克羅恩(Cécile McLorin Salvant)將首度來臺，於5月30日下午2時30分臺中國家歌劇院大劇院，與鋼琴鬼才Aaron Diehl Trio攜手推出全臺唯一一場爵士音樂會。

這次亞洲巡演，瑟希兒特別邀請到長年合作、擁有絕佳默契的音樂夥伴─艾倫．迪爾三重奏(Aaron Diehl Trio)同臺演出。畢業於茱莉亞音樂學院的年輕天才爵士鋼琴家艾倫，受到許多國際級經典知名鋼琴家的影響，在爵士演奏與創作能力上備受樂評及樂迷們高度推崇，不管在演奏或編曲上，他驚人的鍵盤語言非常能夠營造張力十足的音樂氛圍。期待爵士女伶、鋼琴鬼才碰撞出的音樂火花，帶給臺灣觀眾揉合爵士傳奇與當代氣息的迷人饗宴。

邀請大家在端午節假期來一趟臺中音樂小旅行，5月30日下午在臺中國家歌劇院大劇院全臺唯一一場「葛萊美獎最佳人聲」音樂會，帶給全臺灣觀眾最純粹的爵士風情，絕對讓你「耳」眩神迷。

VERSE 1
Once I was young --
yesterday, perhaps --
danced with Jim and Paul
and kissed some other chaps.
Once I was young,
but never was naive.
I thought I had a trick or two
up my imaginary sleeve.
And now I know I was naive.

REFRAIN
I didn't know what time it was
then I met you.
Oh, what a lovely time it was,
How sublime it was too!
I didn't know what day it was
You held my hand.
Warm like the month of May it was,
And I'll say it was grand.

Grand to be alive, to be young,
to be mad, to be yours alone!
Grand to see your face, feel your touch,
hear your voice say I'm all your own.

I didn't know what time it was
live was no prize.
I wanted love and here it was
shining out of your eyes.
I'm wise,
and I know what time it is now.

VERSE 2
Once I was old --
Twenty years or so --
rather well preserved:
the wrinkles didn't show.
Once I was old,
but not too old for fun.
I used to hunt for little girls
up my imaginary gun.
But now I aim for only one!

REFRAIN
I didn't know what time it was
then I met you.
Oh, what a lovely time it was,
How sublime it was too!
I didn't know what time it was
you hold my hand.
Warm like the month of May it was,
and I'll say it was grand.

Grand to be alive, to be young,
to be mad, to be yours alone!
Grand to see your face, feel your touch,
hear your voice say I'm all your own.

I didn't know what year it was
live was no prize.
I wanted love and here it was
shining out of your eyes.
I'm wise,
and I know what time it is now.
