the first time that young Cuban musicians from different musical backgrounds, would come to U.S and offer a huge concert, all together on the same scenario. There was a lot of anticipation and expectation for this specific event in the Cuban community and of course I joined a group of friends and bought tickets to be part of this memorable event. There is an assumption that Cuban musicians are not successful out of Cuba, and I am not referring to traditional musicians and Cuban music like Benny…

The thought of ever becoming an actor or musician was always a dream, but now I know that after googling myself, I've learned that if I would ever want to become a famous actor or a musician I would not be able to use my real name or else it might be mixed up with Brian Nash, an actor from the 1960's or another Brian Nash, a famous British musician. Brian Nash the actor, was born in Glendale, California on May 20th, 1956. He was most famous for roles in 1960's T.V. series such as Please Don't…

It was during the intermission, the musicians introduced themselves. The music is not written down on the program. Rather, it was stated orally. The group of male musicians was consisted of a pianist, drummer, bass, and saxaphone. Many times, the group would be playing a polyphonic texture. However, there were other times where they would suddenly change into a heterophonic texture. The heterophonic texture usually was used to show off a particular musician. He would play a lot more fancy with…

Jesua Calderon John Phillip Sousa was not just a musician he was a great one. He thought all about the kinds of bands he wanted to do and were popular during that time. He also turned into a band conductor. One more thing that happened was that he became a well known musician. Never underestimate your dreams no matter what the cost. Sousa decided to look over the type of bands he wanted to do. Once he decided that, he named his band the “Sousa Band”. He also made it sound like a…

I’s gwine to quit ma frownin’/ And put ma troubles on the shelf.(19-22)” Readers experience an overwhelming sense of exhaustion and hopelessness as the Blues illustrates his daily struggle to find himself amongst the isolation and bilious bigotry of racism. The musician continues his beautifully…

commercialization of jazz and what direction jazz music should continue in. Scott DeVeaux, a white jazz scholar, and Wynton Marsalis, an African-American jazz musician, have differing viewpoints on how jazz traditions should be continued. For Marsalis, keeping jazz traditions is critical in preserving “true” jazz music. In an interview with Musician magazine, Marsalis makes comments of how “black music [jazz] is no longer black music” and that “our [African-American] vibe is being lost” (“Soul,…

or different may be more likely to fall short of their expectations. I personally enjoyed the performance being played as written, because it really allowed me appreciate all of the musical nuances and listen to the music in a new way. Seeing the musicians have a bodily reaction to the music, also helped me to discover the various feelings and qualities in this work. There reactions really reflected the emotions that were being felt and the qualities they were trying pull out of the music. It…

Why is it that people praise student athletes and always tease the musicians? Athletes are always the teachers’ pets. I’ve been playing the piano since I was seven years old, trumpet since I was 13, and the organ since I was, 15. Through the years, I have heard it all. Everyone thinks that if you don’t play sports, then you are a lazy kid. People just don’t take young musicians seriously enough. Do they not realize that without people like them, they wouldn’t have the music they listen to…
