Jemenema Root Musical Analysis

Over the years, African American Music has developed as not only as cultural but also artistic phenomenon affecting the world. The music takes its own stand of being dominant as well of having a prevailing means of expression through the use of the lyrics. The lyrics of many songs tend to use a specific type of language in order to create that connection between the listeners. This certain style of language helps the listeners to think on a deeper level about the real meaning behind the lyrics.

Into the Woods brings together all of the fairytales one learns to love as a child, but it brings interesting twists to their stories. Not only do these beloved character’s storylines intermingle, they work together, and sometimes against one another, for the ultimate goal: a “Happily Ever After”. The main plot of the barren baker and his wife’s hunt to break the curse the evil witch placed on their family leads them on an adventure, that gets them into many sticky situations, propels the long complex storyline along. You’re introduced to a spunky, almost bratty, little red riding hood; a Cinderella who runs from her prince; and two princes that are full of hot air. This musical leads the audience through many twists and turns with compelling

This review is about the Studio Big Band and their performance in the Casa Loma Room at the University of Redlands on Thursday, February 23rd at eight in the evening, under the direction of Prof. David Scott. The concert was made up of the following tunes: “High Maintenance” by Gordon Goodwin, “Four” by Miles Davis (arr. Dave Bardhun), “Nica’s Dream” by Horace Silver (arr. Frank Mantooth), “Witchcraft” by Cy Coleman (arr. Sammy Nestico), “Footprints” by Wayne Shorter (arr. Mat Harris), “Category 4” by Jeff Jarvis, and “Giant Steps” by John Coltrane (arr. Mark Taylor). The music on this program was very relevant for the eras we are covering or will be covering soon in the class, and to this end, the piece I will be focusing on

These songs are both enjoyable, but I like “Singin’ The Blues” better because of its melodic rhythms and soothing sounds. I enjoy soft and melodic music that has rhythm. I love the sound of a saxophone because it can play such a wide range of amazing sounds. The song “Hotter Than That” has an amazing rhythm with an upbeat tempo that I find exciting. Louis Armstrong was an amazing musician that was able to play notes on his trumpet that seemed impossible. Bix Beiderbecke plays the cornet with control and is able to make smooth transitions between notes. Each musician plays with their own style and imagination, but that is what makes them great. “Singin’ The Blues” has a cool jazz sound that I love and it will be added to my playlist. “Singin’

When listening to “The Santé Fe Jazz Combo,” you get a mellow feeling that courses through your body. Their opener “Recorda-Me,” which was my favorite piece, featured solos from Dr. Hamilton on Piano, Spencer Hoefert on Guitar, Ben Salhanick on Bass, Doc B on Alto Sax, Wyatt Thomas on Trombone, and Noah Woolard on Drum Set. The song had a moderate swing tempo that kept your feet tapping up until the solo. First, the brass rang through their part, then the electric instruments. Next came the bass; he was strumming so fast but he was barely audible. The pianist busting through with a tricky piano rift and the drummer finished it off with an intense solo. Every rim-shot sent a jolt into the air like lightning and the buzz rolls sounded like thunder. Noah’s part reminded me why I love playing the drums.

Something that stands out about this track is how much is actually going on with the instruments. In the rhythm section Gary is playing with a fuzz pedal and Flanger pedal giving you this spooky suspenseful sound also he's playing this somewhat continuing blues riffs. During the breakdown, Gary showcases his inner R&B side with some melodic progression which could actually make you feel like it's an r&b track if you were to only hear that part of the song. Songs such as "Our Love” is this modern Sam Cooke style song. Where Gary's voice is the most dominate function of the

Their music is hardcore folklore with a strong emphasis on the instruments; also they add

In the 1960 she started her career at Columbia Records , later on she then signed with Atlantic Records in 1967. Franklin gain the title “The Queen of Soul” , she gain most of her success through songs such as “Respect”, “You make me feel like a natural Woman”, “I say a Little Prayer”, “Think”, “Chain of fools”, “Natural Woman”, “I never loved a Man”.

The first song that I chose was Baptizing Down By The Creek. When I first listened to it, it just reminded me about the country music that we hear nowadays. They are so similar in the melody, and to me, it was not like the original gospel songs. Because first, it has a background music, which is played by guitar, usually the gospel music is a capella. Also, the mood of the song is not anger or sad, but more likely to be peaceful and satisfied. The second song that I chose was My Souls Been Anchored In the Lord. Unlike most of the other recordings, this specific recording is leading by the female singers, and the male singers seem like the accompanying. Also, they use a lot of call-and-response techniques in this song as well. The female singers mostly are the calling part, and the male singers are the responding part. This song brings me a strong feeling of faith and belief. Personally, I think there are lots of differences between these two specific songs. The first one has a melody that we can follow to sing; however, the second does not. The second one is sung in a capella, and obviously it is a polyrhythm song. The female and male vocals sing in different rhythms and

Proofreader- About Jemima Emerson When people think about the war they usually only think about the people fighting. But they never think about the families that could be caught in it as well. That is what the book Time Enough For Drums talk’s about, the family that got caught in it. One of the characters was Jemima Emerson, who was one of the family members caught up in the war.

“Most of these tunes were ideas I had been playing live for several months in some shape,” Myles said. “I was going for something sounding like Ike Turner's album ‘A Black Man’s Soul', the Jimmy Dawkins Excello recordings of the early 1970's and Earl Hooker’s 'Two Bugs & a Roach.’”

It’s the song “Can’t You Hear Me Knocking”. What really stuck out to me was the saxophone solo that takes place right in the middle of the song. I thought it was cool because most people have guitar solos or drum solos only but hearing the saxophone was different and interesting to me. They then go on to let several other instruments have solos which was great to showcase the band members talents. The song also has a good vibe throughout it. I felt very relaxed every time listening to it and felt like it was a good song to listen to while laying out in the summer. I also liked that there wasn’t any country influence in it. As I mentioned the paragraph above, the band uses congas in this song which I really enjoyed listening to. It was different and gave the song a cool and different

I will never forget my first Broadway musical show in New York. It was a magical experience that I believe everyone should be able to experience at least once. You step into a world unlike any other. My first musical ever and my most loved one has to go to ‘In the Heights”. In the Heights is based on a three-day journey of a small Hispanic neighborhood in New York called Washington Heights. The musical touches bases on salsa, hip-hop, soul music, and merengue. In the small Latino community of Manhattan’s Washington Heights, the story plot revolves around a character named Usnavi, and his hair stylist girlfriend Vanessa. This Tony award-winning musical, encounters the many diverse residents of Washington Heights, while they’re the peak
