I have selected Branford Marsalis‚ a saxophonist‚ as my modern contemporary jazz artist. Initially‚ I chose him because his name sounded familiar and I wanted to choose an artist from the list of saxophonists. Moreover‚ the content of his discography was fascinating by its inclusion of several jazz albums with the Branford Marsalis Quartet as well as other collaborative projects and a solo project. Among the list was the album‚ Music Redeems‚ with performances by The Marsalis Family‚ is a collaboration

Jazz & Blues Concert Tickets‚ Schedule & Tour Dates As a particular complex term‚ Jazz Blues can allude either to a blues artist who utilizes more propelled harmonies or potentially rhythms which break out of customary‚ direct blues designs. The outcomes may sound more like one side of the condition with a touch of the other blended in‚ or even approach R&B.

In his talk "I Leaped from the Stratosphere‚" Alan Eustace describes his experience of flying the stratosphere and falling back down to Earth. When his project to accomplish this first began‚ his question was if someone could linger in and explore the stratosphere. Usually‚ when the stratosphere was visited‚ it was by astronauts flying through it in a rocker. To accomplish his goal‚ Eustace contacted the Paragon Space Development program and asked if it was possible to have a human linger in the

The Idaho-born trumpeter Jim Rotondi is now based in Graz‚ Austria‚ as the opening track off of his new album Dark Blue can attest. In fact‚ “In Graz” is a good summary of Rotondi’s overall sound on this record: it’s complex and urbane post-bop. Rotondi’s trumpet steers his four bandmates (Joe Locke on vibraphone‚ David Hazeltine on piano‚ David Wong on bass‚ and Carl Allen on drums) through complex compositions‚ seven of which are his own band’s. Rotondi’s Dark Blue fits its title and album art;

Meteorology Mission During the Mars meteorology mission‚ NASA computers had made a mistake. The conversion to metric units from English was never converted. The wrong measurements had failed to launch up a space craft causing an accident. The weather orbit that was supposed to go into space never went. The failed meteorology mission of 1999 was caused by a machine error due to a computer not converting English units to metric units. Scientists didn’t realize the mistake until they tried to send

During the launch‚ I saw the Earth from very high up as I launched into space (though the fire emitted by the rocket blocked most of the view). We reached very intense speeds as we left the Earth’s atmosphere. We used a new rocket from SpaceX called the Dragon. This rocket will also be taking us back to earth as it is capable of making a launch and return trip. Our first stop on the trip was to the Apollo 11 landing site‚ as it was the place of the first lunar landing. It is also a relatively smooth

Polish trumpeter Tomasz Stanko already gave us enough reasons to trust his idiosyncratic music. Deeply associated with the ECM Records‚ Stanko‚ whose sonorous creativity is almost tactful‚ has one foot on the adventurous modern creative jazz and the other on a relaxing‚ sometimes-cerebral post-bop. His Polish quartet‚ which included the pianist Marcin Wasliewski‚ was active from 2002 to 2006‚ being responsible for great albums such as The Soul of Things‚ Suspended Nights‚ and Lontana. In 2013‚ Stanko

Think back to summer vacation. What did you do to fill those two months? Most kids would just sit around all day waiting for school to start. But if you were out trying new things and meeting different people‚ Thomas Jefferson would be proud. As Jefferson once wrote: "Determine never to be idle... It is wonderful how much may be done if we are always doing." I agree with this statement and believe that staying active will ultimately lead to progress. For instance‚ while Bob sits waiting for the
