Trumpet

while spreading awareness to police brutality towards the African American community. For this reason, I would consider this a breakthrough performance for not only Kendrick Lamar but for the African American community as a whole. The sounds of the trumpet, beat of the drums and the flow of his lyrics all add to the authentic hip hop feel of the song. From start to finish he creatively displays his commitment to spread awareness on a reoccurring issue in today’s society and assurance to his…

qualities of jazz, such as improvisation, cannot come from sheet music; they must strictly come from the player’s creativity, talent, and heart. In addition to syncopation and improvisation, jazz is full of distinct sounds and voices.

This relationship also allowed him to remember a professional trumpet player with the help of Connie, his music therapist: “How come all you Connies are so musical?...

Because Ralph was always affiliated with the conch, the boys tended to listen to him.…

During the course of the film, there were interesting camera angles utilized. As an illustration, when Nick and Tom both visited an apartment complex with the McKees, the camera angles were able to capture a man playing a trumpet on the apartment complex from a distance – I found it fascinating as it captures the essence of a typical day in American cities during the Jazz age. Also, there was a great amount of pan-and-zooming which allows the viewers to take a glimpse of the overall landscape of…
