．日本首席爵士女伶最新专辑
．日本权威爵士杂誌Swing Journal 杂誌屡受讚赏的女歌手
．选录11首爵士史上最著名的标準曲目

「Delight」这个单字，在前面加了Angel，就成了英国知名品牌的慕斯布丁；加了Turkish，就变成芬芳、好吃的水果软糖；加了Buddha’s，就成了素菜馆的名菜「罗汉斋」；加了 Keiko Lee，那就是一种官能、性感、成熟而慵懒、东瀛第一爵士歌姬的本格爵士风情。

1965年出生的日本首席爵士女伶李敬子，是乐坛中鲜少出现的亚裔杰出歌手。乍听她唱腔咬字极为美式风味的歌声、节奏与scat，很难相信这是在日本出生成长歌手的嗓音，其实这是历经无数苦练而来，从1995推出专辑以来，日本权威性爵士乐杂誌Swing Journal便多次给予肯定。

专辑【欢沁】所选的11首歌都是爵士乐史上最出名的标準曲：喜剧大师卓别林为电影「摩登时代」所写的主题曲「smile」；比利．哈乐黛的名曲「I Didn't Know What Time It Was」；法兰克．辛纳屈、东尼．班尼特等人唱红，改编法国作曲家米榭．李格兰，带著香颂与蓝调哀愁的情歌「How Do You Keep the Music Playing」；英国作曲家Ray Noble (1903-1978)作曲，纳京高、比利．哈乐黛的经典名唱「The very thought of you 」；猫王的情歌「Fever」；Richard Rodgers的名曲、Erroll Garner经典钢琴三重奏「More than you know」；艾拉．费兹洁罗的经典名唱「Spring Can Really Hang You Up The Most」； 哈乐黛、费兹洁罗、妮娜．西蒙的经典名唱「If I Should Lose You」、忧鬱小号王子查特．贝克与莎拉．沃恩的名唱「When Sunny Get's Blue」；Cindy Walker的乡村名曲、威利．尼尔森唱红的「You Don't Know Me」等。

李敬子以低沉浑厚、醇美的嗓音，时而缓慢时而高昂，掌握15人以下的管弦乐编制，以及四重奏两种规格，精心铺陈打造11首沧海桑田、充满疗伤系味道的慢板情歌。整张专辑在纽约录音，参与的乐手都大有来头：中音萨克斯风手大卫山朋、贝斯手卡尔．卡特、敲击乐器手与编曲家吉尔．高斯坦、钢琴手肯尼．拜伦、贝斯手吉尼．雷克等，是今年最特别的、冷静与热情兼而有之的爵士乐佳作。

Keiko Lee连同David Sanborn和Gil Goldstein等国际级爵士乐手，在纽约打造出全新大碟《Delight》。她亲自挑选出历代爵士歌手献唱过最重要的经典，包括《Smile》、《The Very Thought Of You》和《Fever》等等，是对美国音乐的致敬。

Keiko Lee is a distinguished jazz vocalist, who sings and plays so frankly even with the greatest jazz giants. She’s been a regular winner as the best female jazz singer in Japan since 1997 through the reader’s poll of Swing Journal, the most known jazz magazine in Japan. Though her attitude towards music is so rigorous and ardent, her caring and heart-warming character grasps the hearts of many enthusiastic fans as well as staff and of musicians. She has also been successful in the Asian and European markets as well, having concerts in Taiwan, Singapore, Korea, and other countries. She does not categorize herself as jazz, and is very eager to dig down from Motown tunes to rock and pop numbers, so tickets sell out fast when she appears in jazz clubs. There’s just no comparison to Keiko Lee’s soulful voice and virtuosity.

Born in Handa City, she started her musical career as a jazz pianist in clubs in Nagoya, the big city near her hometown. Though she mainly accompanied jazz and pop singers on the piano, her musician friends soon realized her prominent talent as a jazz singer when she sang a few tunes on special occasions. Then one day, her performance caught the heart of Dr. Osamu Uchida, the famous jazz connoisseur in Japan, convincing him that she must be a promising jazz vocalist. It was when Grady Tate heard her voice for the first time when he happened to visit the club “Jazz inn Lovely” in 1994, that he appreciated her voice so much and was so deeply moved, that after the stage was over, this first-class jazz drummer and vocalist was so excited and offered Keiko his hand to do her first recording. With the full support of Grady Tate and Dr. Uchida, her first recording at Sony Studio in New York with the Kenny Barron Trio turned to be a great success. Her memorable debut album “Imagine” was released from Sony Music Entertainment in 1995. Since then, she has released 23 albums, 2 mini albums, 6 single CDs, 1 DVD, so far (refer to her discography page).
