創造精彩 放眼未來 夏日爵士二十載
A Brilliant Future in Sight: the 20th Anniversary of Summer Jazz

「兩廳院」、「夏日」、「爵士」- 它們各自是個關鍵字，但合而為一、前面加個 #，無疑正
是每年暑假到來前，臺灣樂迷絕對會熱搜的標籤。從2003年開始，兩廳院突破演出框架，打
破觀眾既定印象，舉辦了第一屆的夏日爵士，讓爵士音樂進入國家級的場館演出，現場展現
爵士樂的搖擺與律動，即時分享爵士樂的感動與陶醉，讓爵士樂以優雅迷人的姿態，開始走
進所有臺灣觀眾的心中。

而就在今年，兩廳院夏日爵士站上了二十年的里程碑。在四位臺灣爵士音樂家策展規劃下，
重新梳理臺灣爵士的過去、現在及未來，將以四檔節目，包含《前進吧！爵士特快車》、
《精釀邁爾士：Miles Brew》、《兩廳院夏日爵士戶外派對》、及《Jazz in da House》，
還有四檔大型活動：輕鬆自在場、紀錄片、展覽及爵士音樂營，讓臺灣爵士音樂好手齊聚一
堂，跨世代也跨領域，一起在爵士音樂中發揮才能，盡情搖擺。2022的夏日爵士，將以豐富
面向呈現爵士樂如何在臺灣紮根、萌芽、茁壯，成為臺灣不可或缺的音樂類型，持續拓延無
限的聆聽可能。
而無論是什麼形式的表演，比方帶有相當大即興成分的爵士音樂會，或是在臺觀眾群連年激
增的音樂劇，其間的中場休息，或長或短，都能讓觀眾有機會拿杯飲品、彼此交流，也能讓
表演者稍事歇息，帶給觀眾們更精彩的下半場。本期阿特直送，就要從語意、歷史與情境角
度，來幫「中場休息」，找回它應有的存在感。
"National Theater and Concert Hall," "Summer," and "Jazz" are three individual keywords.
However, every year during summer vacation, when they combined into one and added a "#" to
the beginning of it, no doubt it became the top trending hashtag among jazz lovers in Taiwan.
Since 2003, the NTCH has held the Summer Jazz festival, which breaks through the performance
framework and casts aside the audience's preconceived impression. By embracing jazz music
to be performed in national-level venues, NTCH shares the jiggle and wiggle of enchanting and
elegant live jazz concerts with all the audiences.

This year, the Summer Jazz reached its twenty-year milestone. Curated by four Taiwanese
musicians, the 2022 Summer Jazz features four programs — "Summer Jazz Project," "Summer
Jazz Outdoor Party," "Jazz on Track!" and "Jazz in da House" — that looks into the past, present,
and future of jazz music in Taiwan. It also provides four large-scale events, including relaxed
performances, documentary screenings, exhibitions, and the jazz camp, bringing top-notch
Taiwanese jazz musicians together intergenerationally and interdisciplinarily to showcase their
talents and enjoy the fullest. The 2022 Summer Jazz will present how jazz took root, sprouted,
and thrived in Taiwan with rich aspects. It has become an indispensable music genre in Taiwan,
carrying on to expand infinite acoustic possibilities.
No matter what form of performance it is, whether a highly improvised jazz concert or a
musical with a continuous surge in audiences in recent years, the intermission, long or short, is
a period for the audiences to grab a drink and catch up with friends and for the performers to
take a break that ensures a more exciting second half. In this issue's Arts Up to Speed, we will
investigate "intermission" from the perspective of semantics, history, and scenario to restore its
sense of existence.
