Jazz fusion

acceleration means large scale environmentally friendly energy is needed sooner rather than later (The Guardian). Fusion energy will be a future energy source, with the ITER machine under construction based on the ‘Tokamak’ concept of magnetic confinement. ITER is predicted to start operating in 2019, with electricity generation to follow thirty-forty years later (ITER). In a fusion reaction, energy is released when two light atomic nuclei are fused together to form one heavier atom. This…

reactions. There are two known forms of nuclear reactions; fission and fusion. Fusion is the combining of two atoms to form a new one. Fusion occurs when two molecules are moving at extremely high speeds at each other. Then, the two atoms collide and combine together to form a new atom and a massive amount of energy. Unfortunately, here on earth, scientists have not been able to replicate fusion for use. The only known place where fusion occurs is the sun, where hydrogen atoms collide at high…

when the nucleus of an atom, gets a neutron, and then splits into two or more nuclei. This causes a release in significant amounts of energy as well as more neutrons. These neutrons then go on to split more nuclei and a chain reaction takes place. Fusion is basically the reverse process of fission. In this situation the nuclei collide instead and join together to form an atom larger than helium. Nuclear power plant use fission to produce very large amounts of energy. Enough to provide most of…

I feel there are a lot of factors that go into why there haven 't been any Jazz or classical music videos being produced in recent years. The problem is that music videos aim to please a younger crowd while most people who listen to jazz do not fit into the young demographic. This is because jazz has transitioned from folk music genre to a popular music genre and is now considered an art form. People nowadays do not have the time to…

Ethnomusic 50A Harrison Charley Oct 16, 2015 Ragtime and Blues Jazz is widely considered as the greatest form of African American music in the twentieth century, and it is distinguished by the originality of its improvisation, the virtuosity and erudition of its performers and composers and its professionalism and artistry.

The Guidance of Blues Blues is an African American art form that was created in the early 20th century. It was a secular response for the segregation that African Americans faced during the post-reconstruction era. African Americans use blues for catharsis, a spiritual relief from physical and emotional grievance in their difficult position in the society. Elements of it has been passed through the adaptations over the century and still exists in the modern blues we hear nowadays. Looking back…
