★德国爵士小号圣手提尔布罗纳第一张在索尼唱片的录音。 ★专辑收录两首提尔布罗纳全新创作、并在多达八首歌曲中献唱展现多层次的音乐风貌。 ★《美好生活》专辑完整传递布罗纳内心的音乐理念，透过爵士乐独特的魅力呈现生活的每一刻。 《美好生活》这张专辑为德国爵士小号圣手提尔布罗纳第一张在索尼唱片的录音，过去一直是Verve厂牌当代小号大将的他，决定在今年将唱片合约转到索尼，藉此也有机会和索尼旗下迈尔士戴维斯、温顿马沙利斯等小号巨匠齐名。 为了呼应他来到索尼，加入戴维斯和马沙利斯等人的阵容，《美好生活》这张专辑主要的曲目大多以美国著名的爵士歌曲为选曲对象，选自弗兰克·辛纳特拉、比莉哈乐黛、纳京高等人，并希望能演奏出让人放鬆的诠释风格来塑造整张专辑的氛围。除此之外，布罗纳也亲自在专辑中创作两首新作，并在其中八首歌曲中献唱。过去在专辑和演奏会中就经常献声的他，透过这张录音专辑将演唱触角再度延伸到更多歌曲。 《美好生活》一专辑特地开拔到美国洛杉矶录音，在这之前布罗纳才刚应美国总统奥巴马之邀前往白宫，在他所主持的国际爵士日中为欧巴马总统演出。提尔布罗纳将这张专辑定位为“要用爵士独特的魅力，让日常生活中的每一刻，不管是美的或是心酸的，都化为动人而深刻的音符”，同时他还说：“这些音乐是我内心深处的感受，是我想要置身的地方，是属于我自己专属的空间。虽然我环游了全世界，但只有这些音乐裡所在的地方，才是我真正的家”。他也说：“这张专辑中的音乐，是我很久以来就一直想要灌录的。虽然这裡面的音乐素材看似简单，但却是非常发自内心和必要的音乐元素。这张专辑中收录了地球上最美的作品和歌词，并经由一群最好的乐手共同完成”。 从小在意大利出生、在德国科隆长大、中学时曾到美国交换学生，提尔布罗纳有著非常国际性的音乐观。至今累积了十八张专辑的录音纪录，在德国有著巨星地位，得过多座回声唱片大奖和美国葛莱美奖的提名。相信在这张新专辑中，他能够再次赢得全球乐迷的喜爱和讚扬。 Till Brönner has become Germany´s most successful Jazz musician in history.
