Jazz Night Concert Report
The concert that I chose to attend was Jazz Night which was held at the Arnette Scott Ward performing Arts Center on the Pecos campus. I decided to show up to this performance because I have always had an appreciation for the skill and talent it requires to play an instrument.

To me this was a new experience. I never had been to any live Jazz performance in my life so this was actually a fun event. Now I can say I’ve been to a live Jazz performance. At the beginning of the semester I did my project on the city of Chicago. Through that I learned how Jazz originated there. In the future I hope to travel to Chicago and go visit some of the Jazz clubs which are known across the nation. The most famous restaurant in the city is called Andy’s jazz club which features live jazz music while guests enjoy their
