【口琴汇--另类经典】Last Tango in Paris 《巴黎最后的探戈》

阿根廷国宝级萨克斯演奏家加托·巴比利

Gato Barbieri，阿根廷国宝级萨克斯演奏家。初期的Gato Barbieri在风格是比较狂野的，到了70年代中期才转为柔和，在旋律节奏上加入更多的拉丁风格。无论他走哪个方向，他的音乐总是可以带动人的情情绪，引起很多感动。1972年他出演了电影《Last Tango In Paris巴黎的最后探戈》，这部讲男女情欲的电影，颇有争议，男主角是大名顶顶的马龙·白兰度，电影原声带为Barbieri赢得了一座葛莱美奖。

Leandro Barbieri (born on November 28, 1934 in Rosario, Santa Fe Province, Argentina) better known as Gato Barbieri (Spanish for “Barbieri the Cat”) is an Argentine jazz tenor saxophonist and composer who rose to fame during the free jazz movement in the 1960s and from his latin jazz recordings in the 1970s. Born to a family of musicians, Barbieri began playing music after hearing Charlie Parker’s “Now’s the Time.” He played the clarinet, then the alto saxophone while teaming with Argentine pianist Lalo Schifrin in the late 1950s. By the early 1960s, while in Rome, he played tenor saxophone, also with trumpeter Don Cherry. Influenced by John Coltrane’s late recordings, as well as those from saxophonists Albert Ayler and Pharoah Sanders, Barbieri’s warm and gritty tone began to form that would become his trademark sound. In the late 1960s, he was fusing the musics from South America into his playing and contributed to multi-artist projects like Charlie Haden’s Liberation Music Orchestra and Carla Bley’s Escalator Over The Hill. His music score for Bernardo Bertolucci’s film Last Tango in Paris earned him a Grammy Award and landed him into a record deal with Impulse! Records.
