: 🇺🇲　ソニー・ロリンズ『The Surrey With The Fringe on Top』：テナーとドラムが火花を散らす、究極の対話

2026/5/11

1957 , Newk's Time - Sonny Rollins , Songwriter ： Richard Rodgers , Oscar Hammerstein II　, オクラホマの風に乗って：原曲の背景スタンダード・ナンバーとして愛される「The Surrey With The Fringe on Top（御者台の上の飾り）」は、リチャード・ロジャース（作曲）とオスカー・ハマースタイン2世（作詞）という黄金コンビの手によるものです。1943年の舞台、そして1955年のミュージカル映画『オクラホマ！』の中で歌われました。映画の中で、当時21歳頃の若々しく美しいシャーリー・ジョーンズが演じた農村の娘の姿、そして馬車に乗って駆ける明るく牧歌的な風景を思い出す方も多いでしょう。本来は非常に愛らしく、楽観的な魅力に満ちたシアター・ソングです。ニュークス・タイム：1957年の衝撃 🎷 1957年、ジャズ界の「サキソフォン・コロッサス」として君臨していたソニー・ロリンズは、ブルーノート・レーベルに名盤『Newk's Time』を残しました。「ニューク（Newk）」とは、当時の大リーグのスター投手ドン・ニューカムにロリンズが似ていたことからつけられた愛称です。このアルバムにおいて、ロリンズは既存のハード・バップの枠組みを超え、より自由で、より空間を活かした即興演奏の可能性を追求しました。ピアノとベースの不在：究極のデュオ演奏この録音における最大の聴きどころであり、当時として非常に画期的だったのは、テナー・サックスとドラムスだけという極限まで削ぎ落とされた編成です。ピアノやベースといったコード楽器や低音の支えがないため、和音の響きはすべてロリンズの吹くメロディ・ラインによって暗示されなければなりません。この「空白」を逆手に取ったロリンズの構成力は圧巻であり、聴き手は楽器が二つしか鳴っていないことを忘れるほどの重厚な物語性を感じることになります。まさに、ジャズ史に残る手に汗握る空中ブランコのような演奏です。フィリー・ジョー・ジョーンズ：饒舌なリズムの魔術師 🥁 ロリンズの相棒を務めたのは、モダン・ジャズ界屈指のドラマー、フィリー・ジョー・ジョーンズです。彼は単にリズムを刻むだけでなく、スネアやシンバルを使ってロリンズと対等に言葉を交わすように演奏します。原曲の「馬車が駆ける」ニュアンスをジャズの鋭いスウィングへと変換し、ロリンズのフレーズに対して完璧なタイミングで反応するその手腕は、もはや職人芸の域を超えています。二人の間にはテレパシーのような意思疎通があり、音が重なり合う瞬間のスリルはこのデュオならではの醍醐味です。時代を超えて響くリズムの極致ソニー・ロリンズによるこのロジャース＆ハマースタインの名曲の解釈は、ジャズがいかにシンプルな楽曲を複雑で知的な芸術へと変貌させることができるかを示す最高の例です。2026年の今聴いても、その研ぎ澄まされた音の対話は全く古びることがありません。余計なものをすべて捨て去り、純粋な技術と感性だけでぶつかり合う二人の巨匠。馬車の装飾さえもスウィングのエネルギーに変えてしまうような、自由で力強い即興演奏の世界がここにあります。最後の一音が消えた後、私たちは「引き算」の美学がもたらす豊かさに改めて驚かされるのです。 https://open.spotify.com/track/0f1hFYYf33KAkHxthDVYKX?si=azpfGWD2SMyng6BYQPUpog 🪻 広告 https://px.a8.net/svt/ejp?a8mat=3Z8Z7S+8DUSHE+348+1BS1AP https://px.a8.net/svt/ejp?a8mat=3B7EDT+9OALO2+0K+10A5LT
