In Billie Holiday’s version‚ the song begins with a duo play of piano and trumpet‚ which creates a strong atmosphere of how a haunting story begins. When I was hearing the beginning section‚ the rhythm made me feel like I was holding a glass of brandy and sitting at the dark corner of a distressed bar where the singer described the story of a piece of pathetic history. This version does not present a clear pulse but the spacing between the lyrics and the arrangement of the instruments highlight the

It wasn’t a typical Friday until I got my morning headache courtesy of the freshman drumline banging out a rough cadence three months and counting after marching season and I stepped in a puddle of spit.

I lucked out with having my instrument

“Midnight Sun Will Never Set” Quincy Jones was one of the greatest writers and arrangers of the jazz world and his composition by the name of "Midnight Sun Will Never Set" did not fall short of his abilities.

My favorite two pieces in this concert was “Sleeping Beauty Waltz”‚ by Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky‚ and “Elegy to the Blind”. “Sleeping Beauty Waltz” was especially sweet. It was almost like a lullaby. The piece was fast and strong at times

As the song heated up‚ the arrangement changed within the song as the saxophone took the melody and the guitar and other instruments within the band were in accompaniment. The rhythm‚ which was continuously steady throughout the song‚ seemed to get faster like a heartbeat of a runner by the climax of
