TRAVEL AND ARTS: The Jazzhole
Hello beautiful people, how are you doing? Do you have anywhere in mind to visit this weekend? Well, if you’re an artsy person, I’ve got just the right spot for you!

THE JAZZHOLE

When a place is so highly recommended as the Jazzhole; by the likes of award-winning author (and my Woman Crush Everyday) Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie and Teju Cole in their globally acclaimed novels, you know it’s definitely worth checking it out. The Jazzhole is more than just a store, it is an oasis from the hustle that lay just outside its walls. Lagos, its incessant traffic jams, its hustle and bustle, and all that lies therein can be really stifling at times, but the Jazzhole is like a cool drink, a breath of fresh air and a blast of air conditioning, all at once. …show more content…
As if that is not enough, there are loads and loads of, wait for it, BOOKS! Yes, the Jazzhole stocks books! Fiction books, comic books, cook books, instruction manuals, music books, history books, artist directories and everything in between.
If you’re a book worm like me, then your eyes might just pop out of their sockets at the sight. Also, you’d notice the pockets of art; portraits of famous peoples, handcrafted things and little Knick knacks that seemed to have been picked up along travels. The Jazzhole can be called the gift that keeps giving as you’d find a nice little café section towards the back, with a lovely sitting area and a drum-kit and microphones all set up and ready for someone to rock out with them. Wouldn’t you like to give it a

    Review Of The Temple College Jazz Combo

    Temple College Jazz Combo I attended a Brown Bag Event featuring the Temple College Jazz Combo, on November 29, 2016 from 12:30 PM to 1:30 PM. The recital took place at the Mary Alice Marshall Performing Arts Center in the Jackson-Graeter Backstage Theatre. The combo consisted of four members of the Temple College Jazz Ensemble, who “weren’t getting enough jazz” so the smaller group was put together, per their director, Dr. Benjamin Irom. The quartet is comprised of Jacob Armstrong from Belton on guitar, Ray Palousek from Holland on piano, Blaine Smith from Temple on the double bass, and Charles Reid III from Harker Heights on the drums (Temple College Jazz, 2016). This group is unusual in that it is made up of instruments from just the rhythm…

    Descriptive Essay: The Unstressed Golf Home

    Since my blog title is "The Unstressed," I'd like to suggest one of my favorite places to get, well, unstressed. If you are ever in the United States and happen to travel to Chicago, Illinois, don't forget to check out one of the best golf courses in Chicago--at the Chevy Chase Country Club. This is a true favorite of mine. Not only is the golf course 100 percent pro in every aspect, the green is found in the middle of some of the most picturesque scenery you'll ever find in a golf course setting.…

    Strolled pass was able see the most famous outfits from The Thriller album of Michael Jackson. Towards the back wall of the third floor, I was to see the display of the band named The Miracles with outfits along with its history behind this particular band. What I thought was interesting about this group of people in an odd number four males and one female who would be shown at times. This floor also had the history of the Grammy from 1957 till now. They had the best albums and songs of the year, male, female artist.…

    Jazz Racial Prejudice

    Through the years jazz became a widespread music genre enjoyed by whites and blacks alike, though not without injustice during the 1920s. Many jazz bands started to form in New Orleans, combining traditional jazz instruments, such as trumpets and saxophones, with traditionally upper class instruments, like piano and strings (Boundless). With this combination the bands were able to appeal to a wider range of people and begin to transcend the cultural prejudice the dominated american society of the times. Within jazz bands the musicians worked to develop their own personal sound and often improvise solos on the spot, making every performance of a song different from the next while keeping the often syncopated chorus lines the same (What Is Jazz). These predominantly black groups started performing in…

    Analysis Of W. C. Handy's Memphis Blues

    What exactly is jazz? According to Virgil Thomson, the American critic and composer, “Jazz, in brief, is a compound of (a) the fox-trot rhythm, and (b) a syncopated melody over this rhythm” [1]. An understanding of the elements of jazz allows the listeners to further appreciate the very art that has defined American culture for generations. Critical to the development of jazz are African and European music, brought by the foreigners who sought a better life in the New World and who were sold to into slavery, respectively. Originally from New Orleans around the 1890s, Jazz remains today as a remarkable type of art form that is crucial to American culture and history.…

    Write An Argumentative Essay On Black Cruises

    While most participants attend any cruise events based upon dates, location and cost, they are more likely to have a better time when they can share the same theme, hobbies and even cultural activities as others on the same cruise. You might have heard of certain themed cruises such as Disney cruises, business style gatherings, ski clubs, political cruises, book publisher events, gay cruises, sport and hundreds of niche style cruises. They all have the same idea. They bring people together who share a similar hobby or agenda. Black Cruises have exploded in recent years and have created such a high demand, that many cruises sell out.…

    Louis Armstrong Music Analysis

    My paper’s approach to Louis Armstrong’s small band performance in Australia is organized by song. In each of these song sections, I describe what is generally going on. Intermixed amongst my musical review, I also interject my personal feelings and perceptions to what is occurring. I have organized my structure this way in order to provide a methodical structure to my analysis. Louis Armstrong starts playing the trumpet in the first song, “When It’s Sleepy Time Down South,” almost immediately after walking onto the stage.…

    Before The Civil Right Movement

    After everything is taken away from me, I got music. In the 1960’s Society was heating to a burning point, violence on the streets, no jobs and a completely divide and blind population was just a few of the things on the daily living. . However, among all this problems, there was a desire, another fire burning the souls of those musicians objecting, screaming, and one way or another protesting against racial discrimination. Jazz musicians where protesting way before the Civil Right Movement, this form of music was a plead for social freedom.…

    The Early Development Of Jazz In New Orleans

    The early development of jazz in New Orleans was connected to the community life of the city, as seen in brass band funerals, music for picnics in parks or ball games, Saturday night fish fries, and Sunday camping along the shores of Lake Ponchartrain at Milneburg and Bucktown. There were also red beans and rice banquettes on Monday’s, and nightly dances at neighborhood halls all over town. The New Orleans sound was "good time" music, delivered in a rollicking, sometimes rough manner, which suited everyday people seeking music "with a feeling." This spirit or emotional content connected the performer to the audience. It offered a musical…

    How To Describe A Jazz Concert

    Walking into the auditorium, I immediately noticed that the atmosphere of the concert was completely different from that of the classical concert I attended weeks earlier. To begin with, it seemed like there was much more of an audience. Everyone seemed excited for the concert to start. As for myself, I was also excited because, on the very front of the program, it said that there was a guest artist that was going to perform with the ensemble. The performers wore more of a business casual look, some were a little more dressed up than others, but overall they looked very well dressed.…

    Entertainment In The 1930's

    Now wasn't that, just a nice way to start off the night? I just love performing in The Cotton Club. This is the only place where you can see me, Ella Jane Fitzgerald, the queen of jazz. But the best thing about performing is being able to make a difference in all aspects of entertainment. Anything from skid stat doowop to the belting of show tunes onstage to the roar of excitement over a home run is an example of what you would hear in the 30s entertainment.…
