喬希·阿奎亞爾 (Josh Aguiar) 是南加州最傑出的即興小號手之一。他自幼即被爵士樂吸引,最初師從著名的小號手巴比·布拉德福德(Bobby Bradford),布拉德福德以其與奧尼特·科爾曼(Ornette Coleman)及其他前衛爵士大師的合作而聞名。
隨後,Josh 前往印第安納大學,跟隨爵士教育領域的先驅大衛·貝克(David Baker)學習。在印第安納大學學習的最後一年,Josh 獲得了貝克的特別嘉獎——僅授予每年最傑出學生的表演者證書。他後來獲得了加州藝術學院的藝術碩士學位和南加州大學的音樂藝術博士學位。在加州藝術學院期間,他師從瓦達達·利奧·史密斯(Wadada Leo Smith)、查理·海登(Charlie Haden)、拉里·庫恩斯(Larry Koonse)和喬·拉巴伯拉(Joe LaBarbera);在南加州大學,他跟隨鮑勃·明茲(Bob Mintzer)、艾倫·帕斯誇(Alan Pasqua)和文斯·門多薩(Vince Mendoza)學習。
作為一名專業音樂家,喬希在南加州音樂界活躍了20年。他錄製了許多專輯,尤其是在已故克萊爾·費舍(Clare Fischer)的拉丁爵士專輯《Ritmo!》中,他的演奏幫助該專輯在2013年獲得了格萊美獎。2020年,他在傳奇大樂隊編曲家邁克·巴羅內(Mike Barone)的最後一張專輯《Brazil》中擔任獨奏。同年,他還在貝斯手伊戈爾·科根(Igor Kogan)的出色小樂隊專輯《In a Big City》中擔任獨奏,該專輯還包括多次獲得格萊美提名的歌手蒂妮·薩頓(Tierney Sutton)。他是斯科特·傑普森博士(Dr. Scott Jeppesen)所領導的落基山爵士集團(Rocky Mountain Jazz Collective)的獨奏者,這是一支位於蒙大拿州的現代爵士樂團。
2000年至2003年期間,他居住在台北,學習中文,從事翻譯工作,並且在台灣流行音樂界中作為爵士樂獨奏家和伴奏樂手備受青睞,參與了多張錄音作品並與著名的糯米糰樂團(Sticky Rice Band)一同巡演。
他在各個教育層級上都有廣泛的教學經驗。2023年,他被任命為加州州立大學北嶺分校(California State University Northridge,簡稱CSUN)的爵士小號教授,該校擁有洛杉磯最頂尖的爵士樂系之一。此外,自2015年以來,他在聖莫尼卡學院(Santa Monica College)教授各類爵士樂和音樂理論課程,該學院一直被認為是大洛杉磯地區最好的社區學院音樂課程之一。
他的演奏以傳統與現代元素的平衡以及自由與結構的抒情結合而聞名。除了小號,喬希還是一位非常出色的鋼琴家和作曲家。他的音樂中也明顯融入了古典音樂的影響,這反映了他多年的音樂學院學習經歷。作為一名完美的專業人士和敬業的藝術家,他能夠在各種風格和環境中游刃有餘。
▪︎Josh Aguiar is one of Southern California’s best improvising trumpeters. Drawn to jazz at an
early age, Josh first apprenticed with the great Bobby Bradford, renowned for his work with Ornette Coleman and other avant-garde luminaries, before heading to Indiana University to study with David Baker, a pioneering giant in the field of jazz education. Josh earned a special commendation from Baker in his final year of study at Indiana University, a Performer’s
Certificate, awarded only to the most outstanding students in any given year. He later earned his MFA from California Institute of the Arts and his DMA from the University of Southern California.
While at CalArts he studied with Wadada Leo Smith, Charlie Haden, Larry Koonse, and Joe
LaBarbera; at USC he learned from Bob Mintzer, Alan Pasqua, and Vince Mendoza.
As a professional, Josh has been active in the Southern California music scene for 20 years. He
has recorded on numerous albums, notably the late Clare Fischer’s latin jazz album, “Ritmo!,”
which garnered a Grammy in 2013. In 2020, he was featured as a soloist on the legendary big
band arranger Mike Barone’s last album, “Brazil.” In that same year, he was featured on bassist Igor Kogan’s superlative small group album, “In a Big City,” which also included multiple Grammy nominated vocalist Tierney Sutton. He is a soloist in Dr. Scott Jeppesen’s Rocky Mountain Jazz Collective, a modern jazz repertory orchestra based in Montana. From 2000-2003, he lived in Taipei, Taiwan, where he studied Chinese, worked as a translator, and was in demand both as a jazz soloist and as a sideman in the Taiwanese pop scene, playing on
various recordings and touring with the great Sticky Rice Band.
He has taught extensively at all levels. In 2023 he was appointed jazz trumpet professor at
California State University Northridge (CSUN), home to one of Los Angeles’s premier jazz departments. Additionally, since 2015 he has taught a variety of jazz and music theory-related
courses at Santa Monica College, consistently regarded as one of the best community college
music programs in greater Los Angeles.
His playing is noted for a balance of traditional and modern elements, and a lyrical combination of freedom and structure.
In addition to the trumpet, Josh is a highly competent pianist and composer. Also evident in his music is the assimilation of classical music influences, reflecting his years of conservatory study. A consummate professional and dedicated artist, he is
comfortable in a variety of genres and settings.
