40th Annual Manly Jazz Festival

Thesis: Although Jazz music was first introduced over 80 years ago, the genre still influences artists and the new music they make to this day.

On November 17th, 2016, I attended a jazz concert and had quite a time. The experience was captivating, and gave me a warm feeling inside. There were three different bands that play in the hour slot, and all of them sounded magnificent, but “The Santé Fe Jazz Combo” and “Santa Fe Big Band” stood out the most. The only thing these two bands have in common is that some of the musicians play in both bands. Otherwise, these jazz fanatics are polar opposites.

Jazz is a genre of music, originated in African American communities in late 19th century, is a relaxing music. On March 15, 2015, Vallejo Jazz Society organized Jazz music by Lavay Smith And The Red Hot Skillet Lickers. I went to this concert on the evening of Sunday. I enjoyed the music. It was hard to understand the lyrics, but I like her voice, and the instrument played during concert. It is hard to understand English music for me, First I was looking for Punjabi concert but I was unable to find. Then I decided for jazz music (folk music), I asked some people about jazz music. They said it is nice music and encouraged me to go to the concert. I went to concert in Vallejo by Lavay Smith, who is known as queen of jazz.

I attended a blues concert in Hayward and it was one of the most culturing experiences of my life. I learned a lot about the culture and context surrounding the blues music. I found the lyrics thought provoking especially, B.B. King’s “Why I Sing the Blues” sung by Billy Dunn. Prior to me attending this concert I hardly knew anything about the blues music or historical roots. I never listened to the blues before, so I am unaware of this type of music, but I learned a lot about this style of music and enjoyed it. I also learned about the impact Hayward had on the blues and blues musicians when African Americans migrated from the deep south to the then unincorporated area of Hayward, known as Russell city. Ethnically, the majority of the attendees were African American, the second highest ethnic group attendees were Caucasian. This makes sense, since the blues and jazz were developed in the south of the U.S. and is associated with Africans. For African Americans, the blues and jazz goes a long way back in history, more specifically their history. It is associated with African American history in America, as well as African oppression and liberation.

Jazz, like most other music genres, evolves as time passes, so it is informative to see how jazz and the jazz audience has changed throughout the decades. Predictions made about jazz music’s future in a 1964 Playboy article are finally answered in a 2008 survey from the National Endowment for the Arts.

Last Monday, October 17th, I had the privilege of seeing the performances of the University Repertoire Ensembles. They were live at the School of Music’s Malcolm Bird Recital Hall, and each ensemble played several jazz melodies that were very engaging and entertaining. The University Repertoire Ensembles included the Contemporary Ensemble (CE), the Hard Bop Ensemble (HBE), and the Brazilian Ensemble (BE). The CE performed the songs, “Have You Heard,” “Sail Away,” and “Got A Match,” while the HBE performed, “Nica’s Dream,” “The Sidewinder,” “Wisper Not,” and “The Jody Grind.” In addition to that, the BE performed, “Lamentos,” “Pra machucar meu coração,” and “A rã.”

This concert report will go into great detail regarding the performance that I witnessed, as well as the genre of Jazz that was played, the artist, and the techniques that were used. I will start with my personal experience of the concert that I attended. This will focus on the details of the performance, as well as my mindset before and after the show. Next, this paper will research the origins of the genre of Jazz that was played, which is Funk and has been supported by several scholarly sources. Then I will look at the origin of the Jam Session. Finally I will then end with information regarding the performers themselves as well as the history of the venue.

On May 4th, I attended a jazz band concert at Consumes River College in the recital hall. The performances consisted of ten jazz songs and one funky song.

The mystery of Jazz and its powerful impact on the music community can be explained largely by the context of it’s creation. Jazz was born in the United States, and because of this, many have referred to Jazz as “America’s music.” Like America, Jazz has a balance between structure and spontaneity. It capitalizes on the fluidity of the musicians, having several different instruments with independent spirits, coming together as one to form a great piece of music. Unlike other styles of music, Jazz has a certain way about it that makes it stand-alone in the world of genres. It improvises, moves, and transforms itself in a moment’s notice based on the musician’s intuition. Just as America harbors democracy, so too does a jazz ensemble, showing both the responsibility to a larger group, yet still allowing room for individual freedom. It all comes down to how well others can respect the overall framework and structure of the jingle.

The “Summer Solstice Jazz Festival,” is the event that I have choice to attend and examine. This event occurred June 17th – June 18th, and was displayed in Downtown East Lansing. The artist performed authentic and classic pieces, which the pool of performers ranged from local/ national artist. What I found to be most interesting about the performance was the multitude or artist that performed his or her own pieces and the quality of their work. This experienced exposed me to the work that it actually takes to bring together a performance, meaning not just the music but also the choreography. I enjoyed the performance because it exposed me to new upcoming artist, which musical pieces encourage positivity.

To me, jazz gave off a mature aura of life, as if it was a stereotypical kind of thing you would hear in a 1920’s club, people seated around a white-clothed table that was tipped off with a name place.

In the modern era, one of the first big movements in music was jazz. Jazz is a evolution of music, which brings together traditional european harmonies with blue notes and improvisation with are usually associated with traditional african music. This music, in its early and most basic forms, was played and personalized all over the world, but there are places in the United States that are generally considered the “birthplace” of jazz, more specifically the south. Since then, Jazz has become one of the most popular and widely listened to genres of music in history. What

This was my first time to watch a live concert. Jazz is relying on improvisation and rhythmic music forms urgency. My friends who are jossph and joy and me advanced to Blue Whale on 8:45PM. Therefore, I could visit the bar and take some pictures. At the first, I saw the outside of bar and just think it is so small, yet I went into the bar and found Blue Whale have a lot of special places and isn’t a small bar. I had found different age, ethnic of people come to here to listen Jazz. I remember that there are many kinds of jazz music in the form of singing. Jazz is swing, rock, and many more. Swing is a jazz originated in the early part of the 20th century the United States. 1930s belong to sway. I was so lucky because I was able to listen a live jazz, and know many kinds of jazz in Blue Whale.

Jazz is a form of meaningful communication that exists without verbal exchanges. Besides being a pleasure to the ear, jazz music is a type of music that a talented composer arranges. The emotional performance of the musician undergoes many changes. The personal experiences of each musician makes the music special through the use of his phalanges. This intimacy is then used to convey certain ideals that pertains to an issue outside of music. The extensive impact that the communication between the performer and the audience creates makes jazz unique; no other form of music has the ability to influence issues in other subject areas so easily.
