Louis Jordan and his Tympany Five’s “Caldonia” is a signature track of the jump blues genre. The song is reminiscent of the Swing Era’s big band jazz style‚ with its fast paced‚ swinging tempo. Overall‚ I enjoyed Louis Jordan’s “Caldonia” because of the style of music and use of vocals and instruments. Jordan’s “Caldonia” falls under the jump blues genre‚ which is an offshoot of the earlier Swing Era’s jazz big bands‚ and is categorized under the large R&B umbrella. The influence of the Swing Era

really meant to fail. When I was in high school‚ I was in the band‚ my instrument of choice was the saxophone. While in the band it is required that you learn your sheet music before you attend any school event. This is to ensure that everyone is doing their absolute best and will make cuts to perform in every function the band was asked to participate. As I mentioned earlier‚ I played the saxophone and had always made cuts until one day our band instructor issued out new music. Being the person I

Did My Part by Irma Thomas. This song had a more old time blues feeling to it than the previous song. Irma sung about doing her part in the relationship when her mate was there. The instruments that made up the sound consisted of a piano and a saxophone. The song was medium in tempo and I really liked its melody and lyrics. The next song played was Jean Knight’s Tutu. The lyrics to this song caught my attention; it was very comical to me. She was basically telling a man that he can’t mess with

was at the bar that played the saxophone. He only played two songs because it was his birthday so he was enjoying himself at the bar. They played about 5 different songs but I could only catch four of them. The first song they played was called “You Don’t Know What Love is”. They didn’t mention who made the song. The song had a rough texture. All the instruments were playing very loud and wildly throughout the song. There wasn’t much form to this song. The saxophone was playing its own tune while

This was second time I listen to a Jazz concert in our school. Our players always keep a high quality of performance. Besides this relaxed type of performance I also used to go to Chopin’s symphony and other different kind of operas. Listen to a concert performed in the school and played by our schoolmates seems to be more joyful and comfortable. Our players might do not have a professional techniques or organized as the technical symphony orchestra. But their enjoyable and love of music are same
