In early 1959‚ jazz trumpeter Miles Davis laid down the foundation for a whole new style of jazz music. Through his "Kind of Blue"� modal jazz was born. This record became a classic‚ at times showing its complexity through the soloing‚ but also allowing the educated listener to revel in the simplicity of the modes. Davis planted the seeds for this new style in his album "Milestones"� but "Kind of Blue"� showed that the style had matured and was more developed. From the introductory piano/bass duet

played. I discovered that I am more of a critic than anything else when I listen to music. As I grew up I found myself listening to Rhythm and Blues (R&B) more than anything else. I feel R&B has a melodic mystery. However‚ everything from Techno to Jazz captivates me. I think music gives me a unique happiness that nobody understands. I am not certain‚ but I believe the reason why I love music so much is because it describes to others what your current mood is. For instance‚ when I listen to Techno

Julliard. He ended up playing jazz with Charlie Parker and Dizzy Gillespie instead‚ soon playing trumpet behind some of the biggest bandleaders of the era. As a bandleader himself during the 1950s and ’60s‚ his influence led to "cool" jazz and the emergence of the musician as composer and arranger.

Jazz is a genre of music loved by many‚ but it holds a deep and judgmental past. Taking a closer look into this relationship‚ racial and gender discrimination becomes abundantly clear. When looking at jazz films‚ these relationships are clearly defined and played out. In jazz films‚ those of color were sidelined and played lackluster and profligate characters; men were emasculated‚ while women were sexualized and degraded. Jazz musicians are plagued by stereotypes that have been set from its origination

My first trip to New Orleans was during the week of Mardi Gras and it was definitely one of the best weeks of my life. We arrived on February 10th‚ the week before fat Tuesday‚ to find that Mardi Gras festivities were already well underway. I was shocked at how many people I saw. We went to our hotel‚ The Royal Sonesta‚ to check into our room and to get everything situated. Our next stop was The Boot‚ one of the best college bars in America.

Jazz Concert Review On Saturday 28th I went to The Globe Café in Coral Gables‚ I got there with my brother exactly at 8pm and sat on a high table just in front of the band. We got there just before they started playing and stayed for the whole first session that was just over an hour.

I can still remember when I was a mere child taking piano lessons. When I grew older and my piano teacher began to prepare me for ABRSM piano exams‚ I can clearly recall the first time I was exposed to jazz music. The first jazz piece I have ever played was “Alligator Crawl” by Fats Waller. At first‚ for my classically trained ears‚ the discordant chords and seemingly random note choices made no sense to me. As I begin to master the piece‚ I revel in the technical difficulty and fun the piece provided

Firstly the important role of the electric guitar here must be replaced by a fanfare instrument‚ i think a trumpet will suit this the best‚ then the acoustic guitar will need to play a bigger place as well. Than the drum playing style will need to be a lot more smooth‚ rather than how it is performed now. The line of The Boulevard of Broken Dreams can be perfect for a sad mood jazz song‚ how ever if it was to be change to a jazz piece‚ than the beats must slow
