小简介 基思•埃默森是上世纪60年代和70年代兴起的英伦摇滚乐坛上最重要的人物之一，被称为键盘上的传奇。作为前卫摇滚运动中一位最杰出的领军人物，他把摇滚乐与多种音乐风格（例如古典音乐、爵士乐、世界音乐等）相融合。他是一个电子键盘和原声键盘（最主要是风琴和合成器）音乐的现代奇才，他树立的标准成为对他人的评判标准。埃默森先后与“美妙”和“埃默森、雷克和帕尔默”两支乐队合作，编写和录制了摇滚乐史上一些最富冒险精神的乐曲，并以无与伦比的激情和炉火纯青的表演将这些乐曲带给了广大观众。 埃默森在其演艺生涯中录制了40多盘唱片，大部分由他本人作曲，他在北美、欧洲和日本尤为受欢迎，他的多盘唱片创造了黄金和白金销量。埃默森在上世纪60年代后期和70年代为自己的乐队编写了一系列世界闻名的乐曲之后，于1977年创作了他的第一部钢琴协奏曲，讲述了一个不同的大自然循环往复的故事－从欢乐和破坏，到充满乐观精神的胜利凯旋。埃默森也是一位成就斐然的电影音乐作曲家。 Throughout his career with the Nice, Emerson, Lake the Nice got their first big break backing soul singer P.P. Arnold in 1967. Independently of Arnold, the Nice carved out a niche in the fledgling prog rock movement, with Emersons classical flourishes and flamboyant showmanship (flinging knives at his keyboard, etc.) leading the way. After the Nices dissolution, Emerson fleshed out his musical ideas to their fullest with Emerson, Lake & Palmer, which debuted in 1970 and had a series of highly successful albums throughout the decade. Emerson made his solo debut in 1976 with the single Honky Tonk Train Blues, which hit the U.K. Top 30, but did not pursue a solo career in earnest until after ELPs 1980 breakup. Emerson first scored the films The Inferno (1980) and Nighthawks (1981), but did not return until 1985, when he released Honky. 1986 found Emerson participating in a revamped ELP — this time with drummer Cozy Powell — but still finding time to record the solo LP Murderock. In 1987, Emerson released Harmageddon，China Free Fall, and the following year, he undertook a project with Carl Palmer and songwriter Robert Berry. Emerson, Lake & Palmer reunited in 1992 to record new material and tour, but when this venture proved less successful than hoped, Emerson announced his retirement from the music business in 1994. That retirement was short-lived, though, as Emerson went on to release the occasional collection of new material or appear on-stage. He even reunited with Nice bandmates Brian Davison and Lee Jackson for a show in Glasgow, Scotland, in 2002 (Vivacitas). He penned an autobiography, Pictures of an Exhibitionist, in 2004 and received the compilation treatment from Castle Records in 2005 with the two-disc Hammer It Out: The Anthology. (更多)
