Brubeck Brothers Quartet Review

Decent Essays
The Brubeck Brothers Quartet was an exceptionally fascinating occasion. My purpose for my statement is that I have never really been to a live jazz performance and it was a new experience for me. My immediate thought upon entry was that the presentation was going be exhausting and long. In spite of the fact that it lasted quite a while it was justified regardless of my while in light of the fact that I really wound up liking the performance. I think the Brubeck Brothers Quartet was amazing and I have no feedback from the recital. On a scale of one to ten, I would rate the nature of the execution an eight out of ten. The performance earned an eight due to its uncompromising music that moves from something dull into the starting of something full and delightful toward the end. The stage presence in its nearness fell off to resemble a youthful rock band and/or karaoke night at bar.

    Finally, I can say that experiencing this type of Jazz concert, where it is more of a casual, lounge atmosphere was very interesting due to the fact that the first Jazz concert I attended was in a more professional setting. It was a lot more obvious to me how Jazz does live in the moment, since the band actually did a whole improvised piece and was randomly deciding what they were going to play next. The connection between the band members was also very evident, they had a lot of eye contact and head signals. Last but not least, I am excited about the fact that this jazz session incorporated certain elements of Jazz that we have recently covered in class. For example, the train influence on music pieces.…

    All I can say is, the story had somewhat of a quicker pace and sometimes harder to follow and small details could easily be missed, and the lighting was a tiny bit distracting when it flashed across the stage quickly. The use of sound effects was used to signify different things that caught the attention of the viewers and really added a special touch to the play. The play showcased beautiful and stunning singing which made the play more authentic, combined with the elaborate dances numbers truly made the show breathtaking and…

    The costumes and makeup were very effective because it made it seem like one was at a professional play. However, the music played between each act could have been chosen more wisely to go with the overall theme of the play because at times the songs would just be “today’s…

    Furthermore, the stage setup was utilized well. With the stage in the middle, they had three sides of audience seats that surrounded the stage. I thought this set up made the play more interactive and able to focus on the main character more closely. The lighting for this play was used effectively as well.…

    The Junior Instrumental Recital took place in the Corley Auditorium in Webster on Tuesday March 15. The performers were Paige Burris, clarinet and Tyler, trumpet assisted by Kathy Nenadal & Debra Snodgrass piano and Cheryl Cotter, clarinet. I enjoyed when Tyler Jones, Trumpet performed the atmosphere was very calm. The pitch of some of the sounds were very low and some of them were very upbeat. The harmony of the slow songs he played were incredibly beautiful.…

    I listened to the performance with great effort and tried to pick out detail. Due to my lack of knowledge before participating in this course, I was unable to precisely, dissect and have full understanding of all the musical detail displayed. I feel that this experience exposed and enhanced…

    The actor’s powerful yet effortless singing captured your focus. Also, their cunning and precise projection of the lyrics garnered more laughter and amusement. The artists did a phenomenal job in eliciting the comical aspects of the play to the audience. Their slap-stick delivery left the audience in smiles and enjoyment however; not to be…

    I loved the last piece in the third movement because it was played very well and it is an iconic piece. I had different emotions for the individual pieces were I felt at ease, delighted, and anxious with a dynamic feeling when the pieces go fast paced. This time I remembered the fast parts since I expected than the other first concert. The most memorable was Moonlight, presto movement. For the chamber groups they projected a playful vibe between each other enjoying when it alternates to one another.…

    For the third music critique I am going to talk about the performances of Gunnar Biggs and Bill Bradburry. First of all, I must say this was my favorite performance of the semester so far. I love the bass and it amazes me how beautiful the mandolin plays music. The musician who played the bass was Gunnar while the mandolin was played Bill. They both played Irish traditional music, however in their performance they improvised solos when usually you don’t in Irish traditional music.…

    I thought the play was well written well played and the actors really did an awesome job of grabbing my attention. The actors acting from the emotionally standpoint was very well played with the crying and you could even feel it during their soliloquy songs as if what was displayed in the musical actually happened to them which was very good. Also, the singing was very good, the actors’ vocals had good harmony pitch and volume making it tolerable. The audience laughed at the jokes and for some reason they clapped at the end of each scene but my knowledge of live plays are limited as it was my first one. Most of the audience stayed after the show to meet the actors and tell them what a good job they did.…

    The second Musician I want to talk about would be Michael Lington during the live Jazz Concert. Michael Lington is the Sax player. He is a Danish- American contemporary Saxophonist , producer, songwriter, recording artist and a purveyor of soul and contemporary Jazz. I personally love the way how the concert went, even though I’m not in the actual performance, but I still felt how excited the audiences was during the concert. During the Concert the music was played very soft and it did not have anything like the big band or African influence kind of characteristics.…

    The Dave Brubeck Quartet, comprised of Brubeck on the piano, Paul Desmond on the alto saxophone, Eugene Wright on the bass, and Joe Morello on the drums, released the album Time Out in 1959 (Time Out). Even on the first listen, one can see how revolutionary this work would soon become. Opening with “Blue Rondo A La Turk,” Brubeck’s Quartet immediately presents a rhythmic, swingin’ tune featuring 9/8 time. “Kathy’s Waltz” explores polyrhythm and “Take Five,” arguably the band’s “titular” work today, too pushes the boundaries of common time with its 5/4 beat. Throughout the album, works are contrasted within each other by style changes and time signature variation; yet despite their unfamiliar form, the tunes still manage to provide a solid,…

    Upon attending the International Chamber Music Festival Concert, a certain ecstatic vibe could be felt as the performers walked on stage with their musical instruments. The virtuoso’s performed in pieces that contained trios, duets, and quintets; showing the concentration they required when listening to each other. When working on Chamber Music, much of the melody jumps around from instrument to instrument, show casing various solos and much of the instruments having to coincide with each other to carefully listen for the melody. The first performance, was from Mosaics, by Eric Ewazen, only introducing the first movement: I. Barcarolle. The performers Dr. Susan Berdahl (flute), Dr. Xiaohu Zhou (bassoon), and Dr. James Moyer (marimba), all played outstandingly and show cased exactly how Chamber Music is meant to be played.…

    The performance attempted to give a dark but loving story which will keep you amused throughout the whole concert. I learned a lot about the choreographers in the performance by the way they presented themselves. Presentation means a lot and the way they proceeded was professional. The dance was successful to a point where everyone in the audience was thrilled and amazed from the performance. Practice makes perfect and the only way to improve is to try and do it over and over…
