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).
My music stretched and influenced various other genres such as blues, gospel, film scores, popular, and classical genres. My career spanned more than 50 years and included leading my orchestra, composing an “inexhaustible” songbook, scoring for movies, composing stage musicals, and world tours. I am generally considered to have “elevated the perception of jazz to an art form on a par with other traditional genres of music” due to my charisma and eloquence. I refer to my music as “American Music” rather than jazz. I melded the “beyond category” individuals of my orchestra into the most well-known jazz orchestral units in the history of jazz.
In his childhood, Mozart’s father often brought his only son and daughter touring around Europe to perform in courts and for nobility, and this greatly broadened Mozart’s vision and also built up a foundation for his music career later on. In his later years, he composed over six hundred compositions including concertos, symphonies, sonatas, chamber music and operas which earned him a great acclaim. In 1791, four years after his father’s death, Mozart died of military fever and ended his short but prolific musical life. (Henley, 2005) The term “Mozart effect” originated in 1993 at the University of California, Irvine, when physicist Gordon Shaw and cognitive development expert Frances Rauscher did an experiment on a few dozen college students for measuring spatial IQ. They found that students who listened to 10 minutes of Mozart’s K448 piano sonata had scored 8 to 9 points higher than the other two groups of students either listening to a tape of relaxation instructions or sitting in silence.
