So I was very interested in hearing how they were going to prepare for this. And just like the entire show, I was very moved. The girl hit the perfect notes, and had a very sincere clam soothing voice. The song was enjoying to listen, and was very interesting how that song that was complete different genre could be made into a jazz song. I always loved and had a fascination for the trumpets, even though I cannot play; I always found it the best.
In lieu of weekend slumber parties, she would be singing in her uncle’s night club for as she put it, “old perves who reeked of cigar smoke and cheap cologne.” She started off singing for a couple of the bands without vocalist, then tried her hand a playing the saxophone. She candidly explained her first experience with the instruments. She stated that it was reminiscent to virgin having her first sexual experience. She said she was sure this was what she wanted to do, but her inexperience rendered it unsatisfying. “I sucked!
Kenny G is a fine player with an attractive sound who often caresses melodies, putting a lot of emotion into his solos. Because he does not improvise much, his music largely falls outside of jazz. However, because he is listed at the top of "contemporary jazz" charts and is identified with jazz in the minds of the mass public, he is classified as jazz. Kenny G has long been the musician many jazz listeners love to hate. A phenomenally successful instrumentalist whose recordings make the pop charts, Kenny G's sound has been a staple on adult contemporary and smooth jazz radio stations since the mid-'80s, making him a household
One effective method for me is playing music while writing essays for English. I have found that this type of music is a fantastic way to become inspired and it aids in intellectual development. As a musician I have always gone to music when I am lacking inspiration and it has never failed me. Whenever I have an essay to write for English, the first thing I do is start up my music. Writing is not a challenging task for me but it does demand a certain imaginative spark that I find in music.
The Great American Bandstand was another version of a live concert. My nana mentioned Frank Sinatra almost every other sentence because she loved his style, class, voice, and especially his looks. You owned all of his records, and would play them all day doing work around the house or preparing dinner for my papa. Unfortunately, your records and record player were lost many years ago. I mentioned that you could listen to Frank Sinatra anytime you wanted by using Pandora.
Sonny was getting better. He was on the verge of releasing his very own jazz music record, recorded by him and his friends. All I could think about was the words that Sonny’s childhood friend had once told me “Sonny had such a death wish; "He don't want to die. He wants to live. Don't nobody want to die, ever”.
Music seems to also cheer me up. Listening to my favorite songs is an easy way to brighten up my day. In a tough situation, I would listen to music because it’s the most convenient way to relieve stress. I like the tennis strategy more, but it’s not always the best thing to get up and go outside. Listening to music can be done in any situation.
Clearly, Neil Diamond was one of the most popular and successful musicians of the 1970’s. Despite some controversy to the meaning of his songs, Neil Diamond achieved the 1970’s version of the American Dream of living a peaceful, affordable, and pleasant life, especially through his song “Sweet
The final piece they played was called Strange Humors for String Quartet and Dejembe. This was by far my favorite piece. There was a sound to it that made it sound like it could be the final song in an Indiana Jones like movie. I thought this because of the added bongo sound, and the way that they rarely played the same tune, but it still blended into a desert sounding piece. All in all, I am glad I went to this concert, the first half got a little long, but the second half was very enjoyable.
I, however, chose York because it is the only school in New York where a student can play in a jazz band and also fly airplanes, the two overwhelming passions of my life. I have been playing the trumpet since I was seven years old. My uncle had an old horn, which he let me fool around with when I was a child. I still have that trumpet and have learned to play it pretty well. York’s Jazz program and classes are both strong academically and allow
