The concert was presented by University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill’s Department of Music’s UNC Jazz Band on Saturday, October 10th, 2015. The concert venue was located at UNC Kenan Music Building’s Rehearsal Hall. It started from 8pm to 9.40 pm. Compared to all the other concerts that I have gone to, the UNC Jazz Band concert was a definite change in atmosphere as it was a large band consisted of students. The stage was set up really well and has a nice lighting.
Unc Jazz Band personnels are consisted of sax section, trumpet section, trombone section and rhythm section. In the back of the stage were the drummers . To the left of the stage was the bass players and to the right the saxophone players. In the rear were the trumpets, trombone players, and a conductor. I believe this setup allowed for their breathtaking performance and clear sound quality. …show more content…
a person in front instructing people. The collective improvisation of the band was followed by Chris Sefton’s trumpet solo performance. The trumpet play has a bright timbre with great deals of harmonic frequencies that dominated the tune. Between the first and the second music, the conductor gave an introductory speech and announcement that the concert was dedicated to Phil Woods, a famous American jazz bebop alto saxophonist, bandleader, and composer who passed away recently in September 2015.
The second music was Hello, Young Lovers was Corey Wilcox, one of Jamey Aerbersold Visiting Jazz Artists from Jacksonville, Florida, solo trombone performance. He has a wonderful trombone solo with warm and brash timbre. Despite the difficulty of playing trombone, Corey Wilcox showed an amazing mastery of the tune. The Hello Young Lovers version played in the concert has a higher tempo compared to the original. It also has a fast chord
