Bob Dylan / The 1966 Live Recordings

所有アルバムの中で、群を抜いて枚数が多い36枚組。全296曲、収録時間1777分(29時間37分)。録音データも半端な長さではない。Disc 1は1966年4月13日のシドニー公演。Disc 31が5月27日のロンドン公演。残りの5枚は、66年2月6日から4月29日までの演奏会場で観客が録音した音源。36枚のジャケットとCDラベル。

在宅勤務で、回路設計とプログラミングに悩みながらBGM的に聴くアルバム。聴き終わった頃に、デバイスの原理モデルが完成すれば良いのだが・・・。

Bob Dylan / Fallen Angels

CD帯に「生誕75周年記念」とある。現役のディランに対して、この表現はいかがなものか。当の本人が75歳になった記念で作ったアルバムでないことは確か。そして「俺の切り札」とも記載。これはジャケット写真からのイメージ・コピーなのだろう。ディランは、計算尽くして切り札で勝負してきたミュージシャンではない。安っぽいコピーに呆れてしまう。輸入盤を買えば良かったとちょっと後悔。

まぁそれはそれとしてアルバムの中身。第一印象、これはディランの艶歌。哀愁が漂う。ラストの曲がジャズでよく取り上げられる「カム・レイン・オア・カム・シャイン」。雨が降っても陽が差しても、それはそれでいいじゃないか、オレは唄い続けるだけだね。そうディランは締め括ったのではないか。

1. Young At Heart
2. Maybe You'll Be There
3. Polka Dots And Moonbeams
4. All The Way
5. Skylark
6. Nevertheless (I'm In Love With You)

8. On A Little Street In Singapore
9. It Had To Be You

12. Come Rain Or Come Shine

Bob Dylan / Shadows In The Night

このアルバムについて、ディランはこう語っている。「私はこれらの曲はどう見てもカバーとは思っていない。実際カバーされすぎて本質が埋もれてしまっている。私とバンドがやっていることは、基本的にその覆い(カバー)を外す作業だ。本質を埋められた墓場から掘り起こして、陽の光を当てたのさ」。掘り起こされたのは、ここに収録された10曲。

しかしである。ジャズの世界ではカバーとか掘り起こしといった感覚はない。なぜならば、それらは材料でしかないからだ。材料をどう料理するかに、ある意味で命を賭けるのがジャズマン。ディランは、フォークとロックの世界で数多くの金字塔を打ち立てて来た。ジャズの範疇に位置付けられた曲を歌いたかったのだろうが、「陽の光を当てた」とはおこがましい。ましてや、ジャケットをブルーノート風にするとは。まぁ、ディランらしく、それまで通りやりたいことをやったアルバムなのである。
