Jazz Concert Reflection

In accepting this position Louis was able to make a living off of his music and could eliminate working other day jobs. This new band Armstrong was involved in was among some of the most influential jazz bands out there at that time. This already influential band gave Armstrong the ability to continue his reign of influence on this music style and this time period. A while later Armstrong left Oliver’s band and began to play for a couple of different organizations. Louis played in orchestras, a few other jazz bands, and occasionally in church.

He was an American bandleader, jazz composer, and pianist, who served for long as leader of big-band jazz. Born to a negro Butler, Ellington took up his the piano at the age of seven searching for dignity, attention, and generational fame. He joined the Elmer Snowden, the Washingtonians in New York (Collier, 46). Snowden was impressed by his talent and passion for music, so he handed over the band to him as the leader. The band catered only to the whites, a factor that disturbed

But little by little whites played it too, and this led to the jazz revolution in twenties by African Americans. They put a new twist into it and brought saxophone which provoked energetic dance movements. African Americans were seeking for same opportunity and statues as whites had in the society, therefore, when they saw whites’ fusion in jazz, they tried to bring it back home and make it their own again. They achieved their happiness when they saw the rise of jazz music not only in America but also in Europe. White fans were going to jazz clubs to listen to African American musicians like Louis Armstrong and this was a big success for them.

In the movie, when the team started to listen to music in training camp, they started to help each other out and started to work together on the field. This helped them, even more, when Blue started to sing, and then Louie joined in, the team became one through singing and dancing. Once they started to listen and dance to music in training camp, that helped them become one team, which helped them win. In the film, when the team started to dance into the stadium as their warmup, this helped them become a unified and relaxed team. When the team is relaxed and unified, this helps them win games and become one team.

Dave Matthews was adamant grass roots methods of tourism, and his audacity, he was successful and spread his message of self-affirmation anti-racial millions. Many individual successes have been achieved that are the legacy of the Dave Matthews Band. Dave Matthews in collaboration with the local jazz guru John D'earth picked up some exceptional players from the local jazz scene to tape some songs Matthews Band. The "Dave Matthews Band" newly formed frequently played concerts and has become progressively popular in the local celebrations college frat house. From the origin until now the Dave Matthews Band maintains a mental basis, earning their fan base through visits, and using their independent label "Bama Rags" to assist others struggling

Another big achievement was when she performed in the Salzburg festival! She was not only famous in Europe, her fame and popularity grew over seas and was considered “the best singer in the world”. The reason why all these achievements are so clear, is because of the good diction and tone that Hughes uses. The tone in this passage sounds very biographical and very formal. Usually when one writes a biography they use the person's last name, but Hughes used Anderson's first and last name.

Typically, the United States has a very formal perception on concerts. The band/orchestra is on an elevated stage, while the spectators/audience members sit quietly and listen to the music. This was not the case for Fuego Tropical concert. They encouraged people to get up and dance, clap, sing along, and just have fun. Many people, including myself, were caught off guard by this concept, but it definitely made for a fun experience.

I believe the greatest one is the Jazz funeral because this isn’t a boring funeral, like most funerals are just burying the body this one actually more fun and unique then all the other ones and I’m pretty sure everyone is probably doing this one since the jazz funeral is the best one. It’s unique and enjoyable because a jazz marching band leads the coffin and everyone else, while playing gloomy music, but when they finish burying the coffin, they play cheerful upbeat music and everyone even starts dancing, they all dance and share stories of their dead loved one. I like this one and everyone should too because even though this is not as weird as some other ones, it’s not that lame or boring, it’s pretty calm.

The song “So What” on this album fully encapsulates the characteristics of Modal Jazz that Davis and Evans were attempting to instill into the industry. My favorite song off of this album is called “Blue in Green” because of the fact that it has so many intricate details but still remains relaxing as well as soothing. “Kind of Blue” continues to be one of the top jazz albums of all time and still holds a place at the top of the

Throughout my school career, I have been in various bands, vocal ensembles, and vocal classes. My favorite ensemble by far, is marching band. Marching band was one of the biggest experiences of my life because I was given the opportunity to travel and play music in a way that I had never done before. Marching band gave me a leadership experience I will never forget. As section leader of the alto saxophones, it was not easy to teach six underclassmen how to march and memorize music, along with keeping all fifteen members of my section in order.

Without surprise, the music slid into a familiar crossover jazz spiced with thick chunks of spirited funk and smooth pop rock. Avid fans of the smooth jazz genre effusively applauded the quartet co-led by the iconic Dave Grusin and the Grammy award-winning guitarist Lee Ritenour. Rounding out the group are the bassist Melvin Lee and the drummer Sonny Emory, two musicians that belong to a much younger generation. This formation gained even more emphasis with the guests David Sanborn, an altoist whose career brought him six Grammy awards, and Phil Perry, a vocalist known for having a remarkable falsetto.

The Miles Davis Quintet was so influential to jazz history because they were able to spontaneously explore changes in temp, mood, and form walked a fine line between hard bop and free jazz that is still used today. The younger member in the quintet also energized Davis so he was playing with such

Ed Thipen was brilliant. The piano and the double bass came in to play an entertaining song. This song want s me to dance all day. The song has high tempo throughout the song. I liked the part when the song was fading around 39:44.

Of all the influential musicians in the time period, there were none better than Jelly Roll Morton, Joe King Oliver, Sidney Bichet, Louis Armstrong, and Duke Ellington. Each artist has their own story, and their own reason for the end of their career. Some lived their life out in fame and glory, while others were shown the more dramatic side of life. Their upbringing may differ, but they all had one thing in common; a lasting contribution for not only the Jazz Era, but for all other generations and genres of music to come. Jelly Roll Morton was fortunate enough to be

My first Carnegie Hall experience wasn’t what I expected it to be. As I entered the balcony of the Stern auditorium, I was amazed by the beautiful design of the white and gold walls and the beautiful red seats. Upon looking at my Concert Quick Guide I noticed the first symphony Leon Botstein was conducting was Arnold Schoenberg! When I flipped the guide to observe what else was in store for me, my eyes opened wide as I saw Mozart! I felt as if I wasn’t completely ignorant towards the classical music world, here I am in Carnegie Hall for the first time and I have a general background of the two original composers of Chamber Symphony No. 2 and Great Mass in C Minor.
