They performed a variety of songs from blues, jazz roll, to bebop etc. Marty Liquori was the guitarist and his friend Vic Donnell the Keyboardist. Then the concert took a musical break and later they were joined by vocalist Patti Markoch where she sung a few songs while they played. Every songs will be listed below, including style with a brief description.
The first song that they performed was “Alice in Wonderland,” it was executed in a jazz roll style, 4 bars blues. One can hear the sound of cymbals with a little bass drum every now and then which gives the song a rock and roll feeling to it; it was an electronic sound coming out of the keyboard. It wasn’t too overwhelming because the guitar and keyboard sound accompanying it gave it that mellow feel that is usually found in jazz. So the each sounds were balanced to give it that jazz roll. You could enjoy that beautiful jazz sound with the

There was a certain call and response between the instruments if I may say so, where both instrument repeat the same sound back and forth. Throughout this song you mostly hear cymbals in the background and a little bit of solo by each the guitarist and the keyboardist. Then the song “Feel Like Making Love” was third. It was executed in a groove style and you could also hear the electronically recorded sound of cymbals and drums throughout the song. “Embraceable you” was fourth; it was dedication to one of his lady friend who came to hear him. It sounds very romantically, like something you can slow danced through it. “Laura” was a ballad they played; it was the same melody throughout the song; in the middle of the sung, there was the electronic saxophone sound, like the sax was doing a solo. It was very romantic and

    For this first discussion I have chosen "Stravinsky: The firebird, Finale" and "Duke Ellington: The "C" Jam Blue". These two differed in a variety of things. For "Stravinsky: The firebird, Finale" I felt like it was more like orchestra music while "The "C" Jam blue" was more like jazz. I felt like the pitch for " The Firebird Finale" was more high than "The C Jam". Also the dynamics for " The Firebird Finale" fluctuated a lot in tone.…

    Throughout, this whole recording there is only one voice that is presented and the vocal harmonies in the recording are kept very sweet constant by Ray Charles, himself. The sound of the voices is constantly changing from low to high pitch as he sings the verses, which shows at the beginning of recording he elaborates the notes on "Well... I got a women” is shouted.

    It started with a soft and slow tempo that became more fast over time. The initial melody had syncopation that made you want to dance slowly side to side; it was quite a slow romantic song. The drums kept a steady soft 3/3 beat. After the initial melody, the vocalist started singing lyrics that incorporated the title of the song. His voice was a little hard to understand, at times it sounded as if he had a really thick accent or as if he was mumbling the lyrics.…

    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.…

    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 percussion got me very excited in the beginning with the loud clanks from the pot drums. Also, the pitch starts off very low. A solo trumpet plays a beautiful smooth melody. The tones of the solo had some bends that made the sound wavy. The beginning is mostly free flowing.…

    This drum and horn pattern becomes a staple throughout the song and is a key part of the song maintaining its sound. The guitar is used in slightly different ways throughout both songs, but is important to both songs. For B.B. King, the guitar adds a more soulful and sorrowful dimension to the song while for Masta Ace, a similar guitar sound creates a unique and funky sound that captivates the listener immediately and draws attention to the lyrical content of the piece. The different use of the guitar sounds is symbolic of how hip hop and blues use the guitar to perform different tasks. For Blues the guitar is almost a necessity to the sound and is a key indicator for the style and direction of the song.…

    Although the band that played on this recording was Count Basie’s Kansas City Seven, many of its members would also be a part of the Count Basie Orchestra. The song begins with Basie playing a few measures of piano as a strong walking bass accompanies him. Jo Jones’s drumming is barely audible because he steps out of the way for the band to play over him. Soon the main riff of the song comes in, and Count Basie interjects perfectly timed notes in between repetitions of the riff. These notes are examples of Basie’s use of musical space to create groove.…
