The concert I decided to attend was on Thursday, March 31st, at 8pm in Kemp Recital Hall. The concert consisted of ISU Jazz Combos. Speficaly, there were two different combos, the Marko Combo and the Nolan Combo. Within the Marko Combo, the songs of Stablemates by Benny Golson, Desfinado by Antonio Carlos Jobim, Everybody wants to be a Cat by Robert and Richard Sherman, Ballade de Papillon by Jeff Arbisi, and One for Trane by Mickey Bass were played. The Marko Combo consisted of Kevin Buck and Jeff Arbisi on saxophone, Catherine Jun on Piano, Sam Tedeschi on Bass, and Austin Gannon on drums. During the Nolan Combo, the songs of Joshua by Victor Feldman, Parisian Thoroughfare by Bud Powell, ‘Round Midnight by Thelonious Monk, I’m Not So Sure by Cedar Walton, and The Intrepid Fox by Freddie Hubbard were played.

I think that this song was very different from the songs we listened to in class, which was kind of neat. There wasn’t a clear rhythm of sorts to this song. I felt like a lot of different things were going on and each instrument had their own parts going on. However, it all flowed together really well. The saxophone(s) and piano played most of the choruses, and each had their own little part of a solo. I believe this song would fall into the category of cool jazz. I thought this was a really neat way to start out a concert, especially for someone who had never attended a jazz concert before.
The second song which was played also caught my attention was Desafinado. This song I believe fell into the category of cool jazz. it seemed like a song almost that you would hear at a coffee shop, very peaceful song. I could definetlly see myself listening to this song while studying or relaxing. Out of all the songs played at the concert, this song was the easiest for me to spot the style of the piece. The saxophone held the chorus and was the most prominent instrument in this
