Music is a spectacular commodity that is often overlooked within our everyday life. We listen to music when we’re sad‚ angry‚ happy and everything in-between.

I would like to write about Joshua Redman‚ who is included in the book with the song is called “The Folks Who Live On The Hill” that is recorded in 2013.

The homophonic texture still remains as the principal form of writing in jazz‚ either for small or large ensembles. But that does not mean that it is impossible to find contrapuntal writing in contemporary jazz—especially in large ensembles—although
