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

瑟希儿．迈可罗恩 (Cécile McLorin Salvant)，被纽约时报誉为近十年来最好的一位歌手，从21岁出道短短六年，早已经是爵士乐坛最亮眼的一颗新星！引述中部知名音乐教师施孟玟对瑟希儿歌声的形容：“像是身体里住了一个爵士老派的灵魂那般优雅、充满味道。即便你听不懂歌词，也能从她的诠释中捕捉到音乐中的幽默，诙谐，或者感伤，失落。她唱歌非常的有感情，是不油的那种感情，是非常诚恳，并且带著情感演唱，很具深度的感情！”她的音乐受美国与欧洲环境的双边影响，形成一种多元的风格，带著美国迈阿密的热情、法国普罗旺斯的柔情，让她的音乐语言，逗趣戏谑中保有清新风格、念旧情怀中情绪掌握得宜。

今年夏天的一大盛事，荣获2016 第58届葛莱美奖最佳爵士演唱专辑奖、2016美国爵士记者协会年度女歌手奖、2010 孟克国际爵士大赛等三大奖项得主 -瑟西儿．麦克罗恩(Cécile McLorin Salvant)将首度来台，于5月30日下午2时30分台中国家歌剧院大剧院，与钢琴鬼才Aaron Diehl Trio携手推出全台唯一一场爵士音乐会。

这次亚洲巡演，瑟希儿特别邀请到长年合作、拥有绝佳默契的音乐伙伴─艾伦．迪尔三重奏(Aaron Diehl Trio)同台演出。毕业于茱莉亚音乐学院的年轻天才爵士钢琴家艾伦，受到许多国际级经典知名钢琴家的影响，在爵士演奏与创作能力上备受乐评及乐迷们高度推崇，不管在演奏或编曲上，他惊人的键盘语言非常能够营造张力十足的音乐氛围。期待爵士女伶、钢琴鬼才碰撞出的音乐火花，带给台湾观众揉合爵士传奇与当代气息的迷人飨宴。

邀请大家在端午节假期来一趟台中音乐小旅行，5月30日下午在台中国家歌剧院大剧院全台唯一一场“葛莱美奖最佳人声”音乐会，带给全台湾观众最纯粹的爵士风情，绝对让你“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.
