02 - Chi Lin Lu - A Taiwanese In New York

本曲根據民謠茉莉花改編而成，第一段落採用拉丁慢板曲風 Bolero成現古老的旋律線，第二段採用拉丁3-2 Clave 在轉 2-3 Clave帶向快版去擴張旋律線條，第三段進入大家熟知的Swing段落，成現 Dizzy School 的聲響，第四段落採用6/8 Afro去呈現非洲音樂的草根性，最後在第五段使用 Cha-Cha 來展現拉丁音樂銅管的金色聲響。聽友們可以在此聽到拉丁音樂裡最長使用的幾種節奏類型，借此創造拉丁音樂與民謠產生的火花。

This composition is based on the folk song called “Jasmine.” In the first section I keep its original melody with the Bolero style. As the song speeds up, I use Latin 3-2 to 2-3 Clave in the second section to build up the tension. In the third section, the swing and the warm tenor solo lead this composition to the Dizzy's School sound. The 6/8 Afro groove in the fourth section shows the African-American’s grassroots element. In the final section, I create the golden sound of Latin music by using the Cha-Cha style. You will experience various rhythm pattern from the Latino music which creates the sparks with the folk song.
