    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.…

    Spector’s ensemble consisted of, “over 20 top session musicians for the recording,” many back up singers and Tina Turner (River, 2018). As the song starts one can hear the iconic entry of musician layering and heavy use of reverb. Right away Tina enters with her powerful baritone voice. When the orchestra and Tina hit their peaks, there is almost a sense of too much reverb. Additionally, Spector’s use of overdubbing may have seemed a bit extreme as oppose to complimentary.…

There are many privileges that hearing people don’t realize they have because the public isn’t educated about deaf or hard of hearing people. Hearing privilege is when a deaf person has to wait months for a movie to have screencaps when everyone else got to watch the movie when it came out.…

    I chose a song that everyone knows about but no one really listens to this genre and song a lot; it is “3 Little Birds” by the one and only, Bob Marley. It is one of the best, if not the best, songs from the 80’s. The reggae guru couldn’t have delivered this masterpiece any other way. Lets break it down into two parts: the lyrics and the background score. The lyrics of “3 Little Birds” promote a positive and uplifting outlook towards things/people when you listen to it, and Bob Marley’s voice helps it to soothe our minds.…

Smaller areas, such as Montgomery, Birmingham, and Mobile tend to stay under $100 per hour, but usually cost more than $50 per hour, depending on the quality of the studio.
