Smooth jazz

For my musical concert paper I went to see a jazz show that took place in Oakland on Friday October 2, 2015. I saw a performance by The Lost Trio + The Empty Cage Quartet at studio grande. The location where it was held was much more inmate space then I was expecting there to be. It was not too fancy and there was a medium to small crowd there, not like one you would see in a symphony. It was a more informal setting, jazz is a more relaxing and casual form of music, unlike other type of music that gives off a more formal atmosphere. There was a quartet and they used instrument like the trumpets, horns, I believe that I saw a bass, and and a cello. When they began to play they did have their opening remarks about the pieces that they were going to play and all that, providing some background information. This performance would be put in the modern musical period because jazz came around the Great Depression which took place in 1920 . They did use the cello which is a instrument that I believe can be traced back to earlier time period. One of the movement…

Muscle tissue is one of the four tissues types that exist in the human body. There are three different muscle tissues, skeletal, cardiac, and smooth. Skeletal muscle tissue cells are long, striated, and have many nuclei. Cardiac muscle tissue, just like the skeletal is also in striations. These cells are short and branched. Unlike, the skeletal muscle tissue these cells die single nucleated. They are connected by intercalated discs. Smooth muscle tissue is not striated. Its Cells are short and…

The ability for muscles to contract and shorten to produce movement lies within its structure at a cellular level. The muscle organ is surrounded by a fibrous connective tissue called the epimysium, continuous to the perimysium, which separates the organ into small bundles called fascicles. Each fascicle can be further separated into muscle fibers by the endomysium. The plasma membrane of an individual muscle fiber is called the sarcolemma, which plays a major role in generating an action along…

What is the most important system in our body? We have 17 systems in our body. The muscular system controls walking, talking, sitting, standing, eating and other daily functions that people constantly perform. It also helps maintain posture and circulate blood and substances through the body, among other functions. The muscular system is associated with the activities of the legs, arms and other things, muscles also control facial expressions, movements and respiration. There are three types…

Of the three types of muscle cells, skeletal muscle cells are the most recognizable as muscles because skeletal muscles are the type used in voluntary movement. Skeletal muscles cells are some of the most distinct differentiated cells in the human body, this distinction is likely because of the clear and specific purpose in the body of being the source of contractions that allow voluntary movement. I chose skeletal muscle cells because it’s fascinating to me how movement of the body is such a…

For instance, cardiac muscle tissues which are only found in the heart are striated with one nucleus per cell. They are involuntary muscles and they have intercalated discs which allow the heart to contract. Like cardiac muscle tissues, skeletal muscle tissues are composed of striated tissues. However, they contain multiple nuclei and are usually connected to either or both extremities with a bone serve to move bones and the body. They are voluntary muscles which contain a lot of mitochondria.…

contradictory statements, and diversification. Nonverbal defenses include avoidance of eye contact, smiling and giggling, weepiness, or body posture. To effectively intervene, the therapist must proceed from the outside in, and should begin with tactical defenses that prevent emotional closeness before proceeding to work on formal defenses. Anxiety Defenses are employed in an effort to reduce the anxiety that accompanies hidden thoughts and feelings. Davanloo has classified anxiety into…

In this concert, we listened to some jazz songs interpreted by different very talented musicians. Among them, there were tracks such as “Body and Soul”, “Softly as in a Morning Sunrise” and “Emily”. At the beginning, of the course, I was not familiar with the Jazz music genre. Throughout the course, Music of USA, I began to learn about Jazz as a musical phenomenon in the United States. I was soon able to identify characteristics of this incredible genre. Jazz originated in the southern city New…
