Next was Eddie Perfect, who received quite a lot of applause upon entering the stage. He was young, charming and had a very nice rich quality to his voice, as well as a great range. But what specifically reminded me very much of a young Michael Buble was his style. “Fly Me to the Moon”, “Waltz for Debby” and “Ancient Memories” are my favorite out of all the song at that night. Jazz music sound soft and mellow as playing on however like all music, it tells a story and here are the stories of “Fly Me to the Moon”, “Waltz for Debby” and “Ancient Memories”.
The distortion of the electric guitar with bass and drums to accompany it provides a very upbeat sound. Reaction - This song gave me a further in-depth look at what was considered the dance and "boogy" music of the past. I can picture parties or social events playing this type of music and the crowd, along with I, enjoying
Lopez also included more use of the percussion and brass instruments such as the tuba, trombone, trumpet and horn making the suspense grow. The upper stringed instruments complimented the flute very nicely since they both have that soothing sound. This piece consisted of two different movements. The second part of it was a lot more allegro, upbeat, and energized. It symbolized the eternal love that no one, not even a powerful king, could take away.
Rhythm section comprises of a guitarist, a pianist, a drummer and a music director. The first song titled “Color Me Warm”, Carlos the guitarist started playing solo, and another solo by Alex playing trombone which he later in the third song switched to playing tuba then the whole trombone roll came in improvising more like in a call and response manner, followed by the trumpet roll with a high pitch while piano, drums and guitar were played softly. On the second song titled “Like Someone in Love” one of my classmate Daniel Rodriguez joined the trumpet line, he played solo the reaction of the audience were ecstatic they started clapping, he played very good, I was impressed, later Derrick Newbold alto saxophonist got up and joined him, followed by the trombone line then every performer joined playing slowly. The next song “Cherokee” had a fast tempo, complex melodies more energetic even the music director was into it. There were lots improvisations, tenor sax Amauri Samtalia and alto sax Derrick Newbold both got up and played with
The song Now in Our Lives is more relaxed and romantic compared to his other quick, strong be-bop songs. The majority of the song consists of low, sluggish melodies. However, there are many parts throughout the song that have many fast notes played. There are quite a few changes in rhythm throughout the piece which stimulates the piece. There’s a nice piano, bass and drum accompaniment that help to establish the laid-back feel of the music.
Although a very popular and successful artist on his own, he was also very popular with his group The Hot Five. Along with his brilliant instrumental talent, Armstrong helped boost the popularity of scat singing in jazz music. Even though he wasn’t the first musician to include vocals in his music, his creativity helped popularize it in future jazz styles and songs. Another very popular style of jazz that emerged around the time of prohibition was swing music. Swing music was dance music performed by big bands and featured complex solo improve acts by some of the best musicians in the scene.
Throughout the entire musical there was a significant job by the brass as a whole and I loved how it added to the show. The warm tone of the trumpets and trombones added to the dark and casual atmosphere, and was far more effective than a woodwind instrument as the lead, for this would create a sharp and often light hearted feel to most songs. The entire orchestra did a great job adding the background and really enhanced the emotion behind the musical. They mostly kept in the background, instead of being overpowering, keeping the focus on the play, not the music. Without an orchestra, a musical would just be very plain and boring due to the fact that the catchy tunes kept me
I really love listening to Boney James he’s a favorite of mine. When he plays his saxophone my body and mind goes into an instant relaxation. His music is like candy to my ears, it sound so sweet. Boney James came off the stage into the crowd and everyone is on their feet standing, shouting, and whistling trying to crowd him but he’s surrounded by
Slaves were permitted to dance, sing, and play drums on Sundays. Congo Square is where African cultures in music were blended with European cultures. This place is prominent in the history of jazz music because Congo Square is where slaves had some sort of freedom to express themselves musically which had great influence on the genre of jazz. Many great musicians emerged to show their individual talents in this particular style of music. A
