professional. The band played very well. The music sounded like the music you hear in the background of movies. Some of the songs were up beat or up tempo and I didn’t mind listening to them. Some of the other songs were kind of boring and a drag to listen to. The songs sounded like very traditional songs that should be appreciated. Being in this class and going to this performance allowed me to recognize different things with music that I wasn’t able to before. I am able to recognize

Jazz has changed so much since its inception and that is evident

The musicians included Sam Hart who played the saxophone

New York City was the cultural center of the U.S. and was the jazz center as well. Most of the city’s black jazz musicians lived in Harlem‚ which had been the creative focal point of African American culture since the Harlem Renaissance.
