Live Concert Performance Analysis

Live Concert Performance Review: Live On 88 Keys Edy Martinez I had the pleasure of watching the extremely talented pianist Edy Martinez play live. Edy is a known pianist, composer, musical director, and arranger. He has accompanied Tito Puentes as a musical director and has played with Celia Cruz. Ordinarily, Edy plays with his jazz orchestra, but tonight it was just him and his keys. His only instrument was a piano keyboard. His performance took place at a hidden jazz club called Le Chat Noir located in downtown Miami. Le Chat Noir has a cellar downstairs where musicians play live music; and the scenery was very intimate. The lighting was dim with all the focus on the stage. Every wooden table seemed to be draped with …show more content…

If you are Hispanic, there is a chance that you have heard this song growing up. As soon as the keys resembled the lyrics “Mami el negro esta rabioso, Quiere bailar conmigo, Decicelo a mi papa,” everyone recognized this song. You could tell by the crowd’s reaction that they really enjoyed this selection. “El Africano” had a complex rhythm that was danceable. This selection is fast in tempo and has a lot of repetition which makes it a memorable piece. All in all, it really is an enriching experience seeing musicians perform live instead of listening to them on the radio. You can see the energy and enjoyment they have while playing and having the feedback from the audience. Edy Martinez is an amazing artist with many years of experience. He was professional the entire time and one could tell that he really loves what he does. If Edy was great with just a piano, imagine him with his jazz orchestra! Now that would be something to experience. The audience enjoyed the performance as much as I did, giving Edy Martinez a standing ovation. I don’t remember the last time I saw a live performance, but this will definitely not be my

    I attended a Nashville Irish Stepdancers performance at the Texas Troubadour Theater. The theater was in the middle of a strip mall in Orpy Mills. The inside was setup with pews and had a very medieval essence. The performance was to be a celebration of the Irish culture and include the vibrant spirit of the heritage. In the program, the choreographer and founder of the Nashville Irish Step Dancers, Mary Moran, said that the show not only highlights traditional pieces, such as the jig and treble reel, but also explores more progressive styles of Irish dance and music.

    Well not really, the farm had holes in the fence and was in no shape for a 100,000 capacity. The stage was barley getting finished before people started slipping in through the fences. So many people did this that it was to much of a hassle to make them leave, 50,000 to be specific. This left the organizers with some problems, make the concert free or try and force 50,000 people to cough up cash. They went for the former.

One night he invited his brother to come and see him play. At the nightclub, Sunny began to struggle to play during the set: “He and the piano stammered, started one way, got scared, stopped; started another way, panicked, marked time, started again; then seemed to have a direction, panicked again, got stuck” (46). It took a lot of natural will for Sunny to go on stage after not playing the piano for over a year.

This Evening of Jazz was the ninth one to be held and was superbly done; getting a ticket was quick and simple, finding a seat was as easy, and leaving was not hard. The whole performance was led by Doctor Steven Lee Bingham who also played with all the bands on the alto saxophone along with giving information about each band, song, scholarship players, and on Mr. Wilson and his unique instrument called a E.V.I..

    Savannah Live was a musical preformance held in one of the oldest continuing theater halls in the nation. The theater, appropiately named the Historic Savannah Theater, origionally opened in 1818, yet do to years of wear and tear and several fires, the modern theater was retrofitted to look like its 1940s, art-deco self. Although the stage was in the traditional Proscienim style, the play was anything but traditional. The stage hall itself seemed like something right out of the hay day of Broadway, with lights surrounding the procienian arch, red velvet chairs and carpet, the hall was like a time caplse bringing me back into the 20th centry. Mimicing the transformations of the hall throughout the years, the musical took the audience on a journey through musical, and theatrical history.

    The acoustic piano was recorded with two Telefunken 251s, going into a GML preamp and GML EQ. Microphone Placement For the acoustic guitars, Paul used a Neumann/Gefell M582 close to the 12th fret, pointing downwards, and a Neumann U67 placed towards the body of the guitar, pointing upwards. This is to effectively blend the high frequencies of the guitar strings with the warmth, resonating tone that emanates from the sound hole. The Acoustic Piano was recorded in a large piano booth, so to get more of a concert grand sound, Paul moved the mics further from the piano than what would be normally recommended.

    I really enjoyed his enthusiasm and love for music, which was very noticeable during his performance. I enjoyed his part in the song and his great skills on the piano. The rhythm of a song allows the audience to add their own motion to the unique beat and “Concord Blues Plus 8” created an entertaining beat that I appreciated greatly. When I was younger I played the piano, so I felt I could relate the most with that instrument and could understand the piano part the best. The songs that were played at the concert added depth to the course because all the musicians were very talented and brought a great jazz experience to the concert.

    I had been in band from fifth grade through high school so even just hearing an ensemble sound again was amazing as I miss band very much. I also really enjoyed The Swan Lake Suite as it has been one of my favorite pieces since I was little, so it was also really nice to hear something that I already knew a little of how it would go. The orchestra sounded amazing and I am also good friends with one of the bassoon players so it was neat that one of our concerts to choose from had someone I knew in it. It was so interesting to hear all of the elements we have been discussing in class, actually in person and it was helpful that I was in band throughout school
