Jazz Concert Experience

Decent Essays
I attended a jazz band concert that was held at Cosumnes River College by the music department. I do not know how to play an instrument, but I like to listen to people play. I was excited to hear them play, but I knew I would go by myself. I enjoy listing to people play internment, and whenever I study I listen to instrumental songs. Music is a place where people find comfort, because there is a verity. I found out the cost of the concert before I went to the event, because I to be certain that I was able to hear the band play. Going to the concert I did not have any expectations. Every song was a Christmas song, except the first song. There were even people singing solo from the band, and they were excellent. Whenever someone played a solo

    On Friday, July 10th, the local instrumental jazz group Yuma Jazz Company played at Lutes Casino for a couple of hours. The instrumentation was fairly standard for a jazz group, with trumpet, saxophone, guitar, double bass, and drums (I believe those were electric). The guitar and bass, along with the drums, served as a sort of basso continuo, generally backing the horns, but occasionally taking up the melody for themselves, resulting in a texture that was thinly polyphonic. Also noticeable was the “fabulous light up tip jar,” a colorful accompaniment to their music. The concert ran from 7 to 9 PM, so I went in not only with the intention of listening to the group but also with a good meal in mind.…

    For my own virtual jazz band, I wanted to try and pick jazz musicians who could mend well with a dance or a swing band. Max Roach on drums, Charles Mingus on bass, Benny Goodman on clarinet, Lester Young on tenor sax, Cannonball Adderly on alto sax, Joe “Tricky Sam” Nanton on trombone, Dizzy Gillespie on trumpet, Ella Fitzgerald and Cab Calloway as singers, and Duke Ellington on piano and as the bandleader. The group would have the style of early 20th century dance bands and do a live performance in front of an audience, possibly with a dance floor. The style of the band, as a whole, would take after a lot of Duke Ellingtons’ early big bands.…
