    Jazz History Concert Report II For my final concert writing critique, I decided to attend the live Ball State Student Jazz Combos on Tuesday, November 8; this event took place in Choral Hall inside of the university’s Music Instruction Building. The wooden hall was smaller than I thought it would have been, but it gave the concert setting a more intimate feel. There were three groups presenting that day, each under a different director. Because each group did not have a specific name, I had to label them based on the order in which they performed.…

    According to the Oxford Advanced Learner’s Dictionary Jazz is “a type of music with strong rhythms, in which the players often improvise (= make up the music as they are playing), originally created by African American musicians.” Jazz music is regarded as unique by Jazz musicians and listeners. While some may be skeptical, in fact, Jazz is very different from other styles of music and it has had a big influence on popular music. An extremely relevant feature that makes Jazz so different is that unlike other styles of music such as classical music, where knowing all the rules is crucial to efficiency, success and crew’s cohesion and musicians have to strictly follow the notes, Jazz does not need script nor trial performance.…

    Brendan Schiltz 24 February 2015 Professor Sweetin MUS-109 Home Assignment 1 African American work songs were originally developed during slavery, between the 1700’s and 1900's. Because they were part of a culture where they couldn’t write, they decided to record the songs orally when the era of slavery came to an end after 1865. Many of their origins in African song traditions may have been sung to remind the Africans of home, while others were forced to sing these songs by their owners to raise morale and keep Africans working efficiently. They have also been known to help with the struggles they experienced and expressing anger and frustration through code words to let their feelings out against their “owners.” African Americans who…
