Hello, everybody, this is Malcolm again. And now a little bit more about the story of the generations in jazz, the youth jazz festival, which is still going nearly 35 years later, since we’ve founded it. So I had many years, as I said 20 years in Mount Gambier so I was very, very much involved in this event, which is only held annually, once a year overall a long weekend holiday in South Australia, so it's a three day event. There are musicians and kids and parents arrive from Friday and event goes through to the Sunday, Sunday night.

大家好，又是我，Malcolm，我现在再聊聊代代相传的爵士乐的故事。青年爵士音乐节，从我们成立爵士乐队至今已经将近有35年了。我在冈比亚山待了20年，所以我非常非常投入地参与了这个活动，这个活动每年只举办一次，在南澳大利亚的一个长周末假期每年举行一次，所以这是一个为期三天的活动。有音乐家、孩子和家长们参加，活动持续举办3天，从周五开始到一直持续到周日晚上。

But when daringly and myself started it in the mid 80s, we started with six secondary school bands from government high schools and a couple of private colleges and then we’re really only from Melbourne and Adelaide. So we started off with our six bands and then the rest was just entertaining the crowd with the small group staff, you know, trios and quartets that we formed locally, we were, you know, all working as musicians stand there. And then it just kept every year, just kept growing. l guess the old thing of word-of-mouth, you know the word got  up the Mount Gambier was a great place to visit for a holiday for three days and at the same time it getting involved with some music for the young people.

但是我大胆地组建乐队并传扬爵士乐是80年代中期的开始的，最初我们是从6所公立高中和几所私立大学的中学乐队开始的，然后实际上我们只是在墨尔本和阿德莱德一带活动。所以最初我们是从我们的六个乐队开始的，剩下的就是用小团队来娱乐众人，你要知道，我们只是在当地组建了三重奏和四重奏，我们都是在那儿工作的音乐家。然后我们的队伍每年都在增长。我想这是一种口头宣传的作用，你要知道冈比亚山是一个适合度假、适合你玩上三天的好地方，同时自然而然你也会接触到当地年轻人的音乐：爵士乐。

And the parents love it as well because you have the Kernel Warrawong wine region about half an hour by car out off the road, then we got the wineries on border as well because drinking wine and cheese and listening to jazz and all girls hand in hand beautifully. So I want to bore you with all the details over the years, but the event has now gone from basically six high school, secondary school.

家长们也很喜欢这里，因为在离公路大约半小时车程的地方，有果仁沃罗旺葡萄酒产区。然后我们也有了边境上的酒庄，因为我们可以喝着葡萄酒，吃着奶酪，享受爵士乐，活动中所有的女孩们手牵手，非常漂亮。我想跟你聊聊这些年来爵士乐队扩展的所有细节，但是这次的活动已经从当年六所高中，中学的乐队的雏形中完全蜕变了出来。（如今已经扩展到了200个乐队之多。）

The jazz bands and the term, the correct term is actually stage bands, which comes out of American. This type of band is very, very popular in America, in the USA, and basically consists of five saxophones（萨克斯管）, four trumpets, fourtrombones（长号） and a rhythm section most commonly just piano, bass and drums but sometimes with a guitar as well. It’s surprising the interest in the USA and now in Australia was growing, Britain for that the matter as well. 

爵士乐队这个词，正确的词是舞台乐队，它来自美国。这种类型的乐队在美国非常流行,基本上由五个萨克斯(萨克斯管),四个小号,四个长号等乐器组成，节奏部分通常只是钢琴、贝斯和鼓组成但有时和一把吉他。令人惊讶的是，以前在美国非常流行的爵士乐现如今却在澳大利亚变得越来越受众人的喜爱，英国也是如此。

In the young people getting involved in this music of course which is some of the four stage bands goes back to the great bands of the 1940s and the 1950s in the twentieth century. So we 谈论  about the Count Basic Orchestra of Duke Ellington,  who was the most prolific jazz composer of the twentieth century. Anyway, currently there are something like two hundred bands as I count from six to two hundred, and it just grew in the thirty years in size to the point where I was a chairperson for quite a few years when this growth really took off.

年轻人参与到这种音乐中当然这是四个舞台乐队中的一些可以追溯到20世纪40年代和50年代的伟大乐队。我们讲的是艾灵顿公爵的伯爵基础管弦乐队，他是20世纪最多产的爵士作曲家。不管怎样，现在的青年爵士乐音乐节有大概有200个乐队参加，正如我从6数到200，在过去的30年里它的规模一直在增长直到我担任主席的那几年，这个增长才真正开始。

The town itself couldn’t accommodate all the people because we're now talking about, you know, five thousand people been in the town for three days you know swelling the town from 23000 population to 28000. So we had to also split the band in a band competition into four divisions, like a division A, B, C and D and I will pause that at a point and tell you more in the next talk.

另外这个城镇本身容纳不了所有的人，因为我们现在谈论的（青年爵士音乐节），你知道，5000人参加这个活动，他们需要在城镇里呆上三天，你要知道，短时间内城镇人口突然从23000增加到了28000。所以我们在乐队比赛中也要把乐队分成四个部分，比如A, B, C, D。好的今天我就聊到这里，下节课再跟大家分享更多内容。
