Reflective Essay: Different Types Of Jazz Music

Improved Essays
I was very excited for this trip the most since its a music event plus it something different compared to the kind of music I grow up with. Jazz is not a popular music where I am from However with the internet as well as the tv I had the chance to introduced to this style of music. I find jazz music different than any other music its very relaxing as well as enjoyable. I was expecting to listen to a typical american jazz with the common typical instrument such as Saxophone, Trumpet, Trombone, Clarinet and Flute. However I was kind of confused by the type of music I heard at that play First I was surprised they didn 't use saxophone which for me is the focal point of any jazz play. To be honest I think the play was more as rock and roll other than a typical jazz I missed seeing the The stylish, expensive looking instruments such as the gold trumpet piece which is the main feature for …show more content…
However I was impressed by etch of the players. They were very passionate and it was very obvious they enjoy and love what the do. Start with Wayne Krantz who was full of energy and passion he was playing very intense hard edge core. He barely open his eyes darling his play he kept moving with all the energy inside him I was very impressed with his passion and craziness. the drummer Cliff Almond who start the play first was as strong and passionate as Krantz However he wasn 't in his head all the time as Wayne Krantz he kind of melong his play with James Genus. I saw James Genus more as jazz musician rather than Rocker even though he was playing with electric guitar but the way he moves his body was more softer and gentle compared to both player which are Cliff and Krantz. He was very humble and he connected to the audience the most. He moved his body toward them a few time and had a lot more of eye contact with the audience with a big smile on his face. All of them did a great job of entertain the audience in a different

    Personal Narrative It took us about 3 hours to get to Shakopee, it was only 60 degrees, but with the thousands of people lined up, waiting to get in, it felt like 90.

But once we got closer to the front of the line we all got quiet, this is it, we were in, we were all going to see our idols.…

    Swing Music Essay

    Since everything has a start, the best way to explain anything, for the least amount of confusion, is to start at the very beginning. My question for the history books, is where did swing music come from? After research, since the United States is a relatively young country, I decided to extend my question to include the influence that the world has had on the development of swing music in the United States. The main source that will be used to discuss “swing” includes When Swing was the Thing by John R. Tumpak, this book is perfect for this paper because it talks about the rise of swing and the famous bandleaders, that from 1929-1935, worked to get swing popular. Another highly mentioned source is Swingin’ the Dream: Big Band Jazz and the Rebirth of American Culture by Lewis A. Erenburg, this author does a great job of setting the Jazz ground work that began with the band leaders in the previous book that paved the way for swing to really take off.…

    During the final week of classes at Truman, I had the pleasure of hearing the school’s jazz bands in concert. During the concert, the Jazz Lab band and the Jazz Ensemble, both directed by Tim AuBuchon, played several jazz standards and modern favorites. The Jazz Lab band started out the night with five big band pieces. The instrumentation of the Jazz Lab band was standard for a big band; it included about four of each horn (saxophone, trumpet, and trombone), an upright bass, a piano, and a drumset.…

    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.…

    I was in seventh grade when I decided to stop playing the piano. By then, I’ve already been taking lessons for around four years. I told my parents that music isn’t important, and making me take lessons is just a waste of money because I don’t even enjoy it. Little did I know about how big a role playing an instrument, or just music in general played during my high school years and my perspective on life.…

    The jazz ensemble was set up in straight rows, which was different from the classical ensemble. From what I could tell the performers seemed excited to start playing, they were probably as excited as myself, if not more, to be able to play alongside Stuart Mack. Stuart is a very talented musician both from what I read in the program and from seeing him perform throughout the concert. From the audience clapping and being able to feel more relaxed during the performances to actually enjoying the solos…

    Question 1: Improvisation Improvisation in music is making up the music as one plays, or freely. Improvisation does not follow sheet music like typical jazz does.

    I attended the Stones River Chamber Players on February 29th. This was played in the Hilton Music Hall. When I was going in I did not know what to expect because I have never been to a music concert on the MTSU campus. There were around 60-70 people who attended this concert. Most of the individuals who attended were more than likely there for a class because more than half were students who did not understand the concept of staying off of their phone.…
