The car drove up Highway 96 and passed a toll booth, Kim Tae-hee found out that they were going out of the city, and the large and small music labels in New York City were no less than those in Los Angeles, and she thought that the drummer contacted by Liang Baoguang was in New York, but she didn't expect him to drive the car onto the highway, "Where are we going?"

"What, Nuna is afraid that I will sell you?" Liang Baoguang has run back and forth on this road too many times, and is very familiar with the road conditions and routes, so the mood of driving on this road is also relatively relaxed, and he turned on the car stereo, and soon the car echoed with one of the most famous tracks of Duke Ellington and his band, I′mjustaluckysoandso (I am a lucky boy).

"It's okay to sell me, but where are we staying at night?" They didn't go out until lunch, and even if they had a good conversation with the drummer, they would definitely not be able to return to New York before nightfall, either staying on the spot or driving the night train, Kim Tae-hee couldn't help but wonder if there was any meaning in Liang Baoguang's contract negotiation with someone this time, but he had to bring her with him.

Liang Baoguang glanced at Kim Tae-hee next to him, and suddenly felt a little like laughing, this Nuna didn't know what kind of nerves he was making up for suddenly took out the makeup mirror and made up for it, "Live in my house, the house I rented in Boston hasn't expired yet, and there are many rooms over there that you can not disturb each other." ”

"Going to Boston today?" Kim Tae-hee has not been to Boston, she stayed there for several months when she filmed "Love at Harvard" before, but she was really curious about what the place where Liang Baoguang lived when he went to school, with her understanding of Liang Baoguang, I am afraid that as soon as the door is opened, there will be a smell of erosion coming to the face, and a man who does not know moderation can imagine what will happen when he arrives in an open and abnormal country.

A Tale of Two Cities, when these three words appear, most people's minds will appear in London and Paris, and it will be a struggle about fate, but for a small number of people, A Tale of Two Cities is Boston and Philadelphia, one represents democracy and the other symbolizes freedom. Liang Baoguang's affection for Boston is as deep as someone has for Philadelphia, not because of Boston itself, but because he has completed the most important transformation of his life here.

"Yes, I'm going to Boston today. Liang Baoguang stepped on the accelerator, and the car roared past the car in front.

Five minutes earlier, Kim Tae-hee had no idea that there was a man in the world named Mike Mangini, but Mr. Yang told her that he was the strongest drummer in the world, and she believed him. Just looking at the oversized drum rack in front of her, she was half convinced, unlike the drummers she originally thought, Mike Mancini's drum kit was called a drum kit, and the huge metal rack had an indescribable impact just by looking at it.

If he wasn't strong, McMancini wouldn't have been invited by Berklee College of Music to be a percussion teacher, he has many titles on his head, such as Boston's No. 1 drummer, the strongest jazz drummer on the surface, the four-limb coordination monster, Massachusetts' No. 1 live percussionist, etc., if he is the best drummer, many people will not be convinced, but if he is the strongest, few people will refute.

"Long time no see, Mike. Liang Baoguang first folded his specially made back comb before reaching out to shake hands with Michael Mancini.

"You guy, you're so handsome, it's really easy to be beaten like this. This is a little joke between the two, there are two most representative releases of jazz drummers: continuous perm in the half, and big bald head, Mike Mancini is the former, when he first met, he just finished drumming and sweating, subconsciously touched his hair and shook hands with Liang Baoguang to make his hands wet, so every time they met Liang Baoguang after that, he "returned" him.

"This is my eldest cousin, Kim Tae-hee, let's get to know him. "Since Kim Tae-hee was brought out, she must not be treated as air, and when Liang Baoguang introduced her, she said that she was the eldest cousin, because she introduced herself like this at the opening party of the Blue Bird Film Studio last night.

Kim Tae-hee first pinched Liang Baoguang's lower back, and then stretched out his hand generously, "Just call me Jenna." ”

In McMancini's eyes, Asians look similar, and Liang Baoguang and Kim Tae-hee are both very good-looking, and he didn't doubt it at all when he said that he was a cousin, "You never told me that you have such a beautiful cousin, it's an honor to meet you, Jenna." ”

Kim Tae-hee was surprised, Liang Baoguang is a student at Harvard University, and often goes to the University of Pennsylvania to participate in some bizarre activities to experience "Hellenistic classical brotherly love", but Mike Mancini is a teacher at Berklee College of Music, and it should be difficult for the two to intersect, not to mention that she knows that Liang Baoguang is a rock enthusiast, but the one in front of her is a jazz drummer.

"Mike and I met after a concert. As if he saw Kim Tae-hee's doubts, Yang Baoguang explained.

"Yes, I was still a drummer at TribeofJudah back then. "The Judas (tribe of Judah) are a well-known band in jazz circles, but few outside the group are interested," said Paul, who came backstage after the end and we chatted for a while, as he was the most talented jazz musician I've ever met. ”

Kim Tae-hee stared at the boss, for so many years, she had only seen Liang Baoguang holding a guitar, trumpet, and violin to play a little fresh trick girl, but she had never seen Liang Baoguang play jazz, even his own favorite rock rarely played, "Just him, is he still a jazz musician?"

Mike Mancini was able to talk to Liang Baoguang, who was 20 years younger than him, of course, it couldn't be because of other special experiences, it was because of jazz, "Jazz is really talented, you can play the trumpet and the harmonica at the same time, I have only seen Paul alone, but unfortunately I heard that he recently became a film director." ”

"Come play, it's been a long time since I've played the harmonica in front of anyone. The meeting place was the large classroom at Berklee College of Music, where a Mike Mancini drum kit was on the stage, and Liang Baoguang was obviously prepared, pulling out a delicate box with purple velvet from his pocket and taking out a small silver harmonica from it.

This is a 12-hole SilverConcertoChromonica harmonica, the original version of Hohner is actually flawed because of machining problems, but Liang Baoguang's one has been magically modified, not only the grille has been re-hollowed, the mouthpiece part is also designed with titanium alloy gold, and the key system has been noise reduced, making the performance almost perfect when blowing. The most coquettish is the cover plate made by Liang Baoguang himself, which is carved with pure gold.

Yoko Kanno's "DiggingMyPotato" is the best choice for harmonica skills, this piece should be played on a ten-hole blues piano, the 123-hole blow-and-breathe triple chord is a little "very jazzy", and the original player Ryuichiro Sanoo (Ryuichiro Sano) is very accurate and crazy to show off his skills, and many harmonica players are in the pit because of his performance. The 12-hole bass does not need to use the pressure technique to accurately perform, but the second position, that is, the G key, has less bass 5 and more bass 6 in the habit chord, which is quite different from the feeling of the ten-hole blues harmonica, but Liang Baoguang's path is more wild, and he does not use the second position at all but plays in C key.

The metaphysical is the way, the metaphysical is the instrument, and the gentleman is not the instrument. If you are confined by a piano, you don't have to play this music anymore.

Kim Tae-hee doesn't understand music and doesn't understand the harmonica, she doesn't know anything about tongueblocking, what Wahwah effect, and what high-speed pressure sound, but the biggest charm of music is probably that people who don't know much about it can feel it, and at this moment she feels that Liang Baoguang holding the harmonica is so handsome that it explodes.

Blues is all about showmanship, it's a common misconception among laymen, and Kim Tae-hee used to be a layman who thought so, but after Mike Mancini's drums were just right on the piano Solo, she knew she was wrong, so wrong that just a faint piece of jazz completely disrupted her time and space.

On a slightly hot afternoon in August in Seoul, the scorching sun scorched the road and blurred vision, and there were fewer cars on the road than usual. There was a simple stall on the side of the road, selling cheap Coke, which was not very cold, and the Adam's apple moved up and down twice, and the bottle in the backpacker's hand was half empty after the gurgling sound. The shopkeeper's sigh came from the side: "Seoul, Seoul, why don't you go back to your hometown and plant potatoes......" The backpacker didn't say a word, and the homesickness that was hooked up was just enough to fill the remaining half of the glass bottle.

"Mike, you see, this time it's not for you to help me, it's not for me to help you. Liang Baoguang and Mike Mancini had already talked on the phone about asking him to play for Freddie Hemmer in "Burst Drummer", but asking a professor at Berkeley and a big figure in the jazz industry to play for a small child actor was reluctant, and he had to come to Boston in person out of helplessness, "We understand the charm of jazz, but too many people don't understand that since you call yourself a jazz drummer, you have an obligation to do something for it." ”

"You're a great lobbyist, and I'll admit that you've been moved by what you say, but my name can't appear on the movie's volunteer list, and I don't want you to reveal my information to the outside world. At first, McMancini refused, even if Liang Baoguang wanted to add stunts to him, and Duang grafted his performance onto Freddie Hemmer, but he didn't like to be seen by others in a way other than enjoying music. Liang Baoguang's rhetoric is very convincing, if a drummer with immature skills and realm performs in the movie, it is easy to create an illusion of "jazz is not enough" to the audience, and he does have the obligation to show his strength to give a wave of new fans in the jazz circle.
