A Defining Moment at a Young Age ENGL 1613 When I was 8 my parents took me on a surprise trip. I was so joyous when we pulled into the parking lot of Frontier City amusement park. Little did I know we weren’t there to ride rides but instead see Three Dog Night in concert. I had so much fun with my dad that night. As it turns out that night and the wonder of going to my first concert was one of the most inspiring moments of my life.
So even when I am free from all of my responsibilities, I still don’t ever truly feel “relaxed”. After working thirty hours combined with seventeen credits of school each week, the last thing I want to do is go out on the weekends, but in America it’s all we know. In America there is no slowing down ever; even on weekends, you are still in non-stop go
I’ m sure everyone has been a Pseudo- Fan at at least a couple concerts; I know I have. They want to just go and have a great At these shows you of course have to have the Old Hippies. They are most definitely my favorite and most interesting people I come across at these concerts. You can’ t call it a real jam show without them. They range in age from early 40’ s to late 60’ s or seventies even.
Memory Essay It was my junior year of high school and I was offered an opportunity to play in a small jazz combo through the “Thelonious Monk Institute of Jazz.” The person who was over the program at our school was a talented vocalist by the name of Lisa Henry. She came to our jazz band class about a week before the program started. She was very professional and pretty loud. I’d never met Mrs. Lisa before then and I already didn’t like her. I hadn’t planned on doing the jazz program but just kind of fell into it.
In 1963, he had a relationship with Joan Baez, an American folk singer and songwriter known for her soprano style and three-octave vocal range, that lasted two years. However, this relationship was favorable to both because it promoted them with more fans; Bob Dylan wrote songs that Baez composed whereas Joan Baez introduced Dylan to most of her admirers. Because of her, by 1964, he was already playing about 200 concerts a year (RealNetworks). In 1965, most of his fans were shocked with the new album “Bringing It All Back Home” with two distinct genres: acoustic and electric (A&E). When he played his electrical songs in the Newport Folk Festival for the first time in his life on July 25, the audience ridiculed him surprisingly (A&E).
Thelonious Monk Competition 2012 Winners of the Thelonious Monk Competition Announced By NATE CHINEN WASHINGTON –Jamison Ross took first prize in the Thelonious Monk International Jazz Drums Competition, awarded at the Kennedy Center on Sunday night. Mr. Ross, 24, from Jacksonville, Fla., brought a relaxed but commanding sense of swing to his performance with a competition house band, consisting of the saxophonist Jon Gordon, the pianist Geoffrey Keezer and the bassist Rodney Whitaker. His victory reinforces perceptions of the Monk Competition as a proving ground for artists already active professionally. He can be heard on tour with the jazz singer Carmen Lundy, and he works regularly with the saxophonist Wess Anderson. This year’s other two finalists came with their own notable credentials.
In the class, I have appreciated many dance compositions of different periods. Swan Lake was my favorite. Although I only saw the interesting version which were performed by all male dancers, the music and the movement attracted me deeply. Thus, I was eager to see the formal version. As a result, I rented the CD of Swan Lake from the library last Thursday and planned to watch it in a romantic atmosphere, even though Swan Lake was not written in the Romantic Period.
January 8, 2008 Music Project My Critique of a Live Performance The live performance that I have critiqued was entitled “Chris Brown: Young, Gifted & Exclusive”. I’ve viewed this concert Wednesday, November 7 at 7:30 pm (Eastern Time) on BET (channel 329 on DTV). The performer, none other than Chris Brown held this concert as a warm up, or a rehearsal to his fans just to give them a little taste of what they should be expecting on his upcoming holiday tour starting in the beginning of December. The sound is very clear, not muffled or rushed. Quality of the music was on point, there were no faulty, mistakes, and everything was all on time and great!
Ryan Bergio FA207 10/04/2013 Fiddler on the Roof Response (In the form of a letter…) Dear Mother, Last Tuesday, I attended a production of the musical Fiddler on the Roof put on by Portland Center Stage. Although attending this performance was required for class, I would have willingly attended had the idea been brought up to me in another fashion. As a minor fan of musical theater, I was excited to hear that we would be attending such a well known production that I had not seen before and I was not disappointed. This production was consistently entertaining and besides only a few things, which I couldn’t help but notice, I was kept fully engaged in the story. For this reason, I would highly recommend you head out and see this production of Fiddler on the Roof.
These new friends I made are not the kind that I would go out to a party with every week, go to concerts with over the summer, or go on vacations and trips with. Mostly, they are just the people who added me on Facebook and talked to me from time to time in my classes, or would say hello when they pass me in the hallway, but they are still kind people that I like. Most of the friends I made are from my music classes. The
