On Thursday‚ April 21st‚ I had the opportunity to attend a jazz combos concert. I took it upon myself to attend this concert because of my interest for jazz and all that goes along with this genre of music. This concert involved two different groups of musicians performing music in the typical laid back fashion that most jazz performances are played in. Throughout this reaction I will give a few things I liked and disliked about these two groups of performers and specifically what intrigued me about

The analysis I’m doing on a piece is Take Five played by Dave Brubeck‚ I find it interesting because it has a very steady progression. It doesn’t change much and the rhythm is very catchy. I liked it because it was easy to kind of tap to because of it 5/4 meter. This particular song has a very interesting beat to it with very relaxed Tempos and soothing tones‚ as its just adding to another reason why I like odd meters. I found that cool jazz was a modern jazz in it time that arose after the Second

three great musicians are considered the “big three” of swing tenors. Hawkins was a talking‚ walking jazz composition—a living exercise in artistic improvisation. Lester Young thought Coleman Hawkins was the President first‚ he was the second one. Miles Davis once also said: "When I heard Hawk‚ I learned to play ballads."

How does Peter Medak‚ director of ’Let Him Have It’ create sympathy for Derek Bentley? The opening scene of this film has slow piano solo music playing‚ with white Credits on a black background to show that the film is serious. It is actually a drama documentary‚ which means that as well as being dramatic the film is also factual. From the start of the film‚ Peter Medak chose to present Derek Bentley as a victim.

Concert Report The Wayne Shorter Quarter concert was unlike any concert I have ever been to. The variety of instruments and style of the performers contributed to a unique experience. Not only was the music I heard versatile on several levels‚ but the behavior of the performers‚ appearance of the audience‚ and atmosphere of the venue contributed to my take away from the show. These factors allowed me to obtain a better understanding of jazz as not only an art form‚ but as a culture. The audience
