Music Concert Report Essay

     The sixth piece was called This The Moment sing Me a Song by Craig McGill. This piece had two singers and a piano accompaniment. The song is about a glorious moment when two people meet or possible fall in love. Regardless, it is a very important moment in the lives of the couple, represented by the male and female singers. The song talks about

On September 19, 2016, I attended a live performance at “Villa Elba Lounge” in the Bronx, New York. The group featured was “Felo Swing y su Orquesta” and the main singer was Felo Swing. During the presentation, the eight members of the group played an important role to accomplish their goal, which was entertaining. However, two of them had more than one function: they were part of the choir. But, also each one of them had to play an instrument; one a piano, and the other one a guitar. Most of the time, Felo Swing was featured as a soloist, because he sang most of the songs alone. The remaining five members of the group had also fundamental parts of the presentation: two of them played guitars, one the bongo, one the drum, and the only woman

The first song played was “Hope Street” written by Tom Harrell. The piece was started off with Jerald snapping his fingers to a quick beat and then the Trumpet (Lynn) starts with a loud entrance. The other musicians join in and copy his notes as he plays. When the trumpet hits the high notes he trills the note as he holds it before dropping back down in PITCH to match the rest of the instruments. The bass, drums, and guitar carry the beat and the trumpet and trombone take turns playing in a sort of solo. As the trumpet and trombone fall back into rhythm with the other instruments the tempo becomes quick and the guitar take the lead in the piece. All three “solos” mirror each other in notes and TEMPO as the rest of the instruments keep the rhythm and beat. All instruments join in at the same note and continue playing together now in a

After peaking though my program to better understand what to expect throughout the concert, I realized there were going to be two performances with 2 different ensembles as well as directors. Promptly at 7:30 pm, the band of Jazz Ensemble II came out, gathered their places on stage, and began to play “Things Ain’t What They Used to Be” by Mercer Ellington. I immediately recognized the stereotypical jazz setup such as the primary melodic instruments: saxophones, trumpets, trombones, as well as the piano, bass and

The concert night began with almost 20 minutes of performances by The Jazz Band that performed five songs: “Choo Choo Ch” (Horton et al., 1946),“Dreamsville” (Mancini, 1960), “Work Song” (Adderley,

The type of music they played was American jazz-standards. After everything was set, the band started playing and a deadly silence just began hunting everyone at the tables. After a few songs the band started playing the band leader introduced the marvelous Billy Valentine, who is a singer and songwriter. With and amazing energy throughout the whole night, the band started

I heard a ton of songs set up together from the accompanying instruments: guitars, drums, piano and trombone. The Brubeck Brothers Quartet began off playing introductory music that was a reflection of the group members before they presented themselves. The accompanying melodies were played: Dance of the Shadows, Cathy's Waltz, Jazzanians, Cool on the coast, Far more blues, In your own sweet way, and Blue Rondo a la Turk. As every melody was played it was much the same as if it was a piece of your body in light of the fact that the music was exceptionally alleviating to the ears and simply made you need to locate your internal peace. The entertainers presented themselves, gave an anecdote about their life, and told what their motivations were

Improvisation was given a more featured role, and soloists would play while the rest of the band, aside from the rhythm section, dropped out or played arranged background lines. The improvisation and teamwork was flawless with this group. The lead singer started by warming up the audience, then the Saxophonist and trumpet player picked up the tune from the lead singer, and the music began. starts in earnest. After the first full combo, the tune was passed on to the baritone sax, with support from the drummer and the bass. Then, the baritone sax finished his solo, and passed the lead back to the guitarist. This process is repeated throughout the night. They were precise and in tune like a well-oiled

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 36th Annual Jazz Showcase, on Thursday, March 9, 2017 incorporated many styles of jazz and modern compositions. This concert can best be described as fusion in both jazz and how the songs varied from Fiddler in the Roof to James Bond. The concert was mainly characterized by the songs played in a big band style. It consisted of many musicians and many instruments including, alto, tenor and bari sax, trumpet, trombone, French horn, tuba, keyboard (piano), guitar (acoustic, electric), percussion (mallets, drums), bass (acoustic, electric), vocals.

On September 26th, 2016, I went to the Bennet Auditorium a little before 6:45 to see the SICC Showcase Concert. My roommate Isaac was performing, and he wanted to see me before the performance. Fourteen different songs were performed by various groups. Every single one had singing, but some had piano, drum, or cello accompaniment, which was pleasant. I could really tell the hard work that went into the different pieces (my roommate was constantly practicing the song “Harriet Tubman”). My favorites were ‘Ndikhokhele Bawo,’, Harriet Tubman, and the ‘I Know It’s Today’ (that song had me howling; it was priceless), ‘Bottom of the River,” and ‘I Can Tell the World.” Southern BelleTones were likely my favorite group, as their voices were to put it

Throughout the concert, five pieces were performed by two different choirs. The first three being a small group without interments and the second a large group accompanied by a small chamber orchestra. The first group, the chamber choir performed three pieces from

The concert that I went to the “Vocal Jazz Ensemble” on the date of May 21. Performance from the Vocal Jazz Ensemble and special guest Final Note-Us, both group performed extremely well and sang great songs. The concert consisted of eight songs, two from Final Note-Us group and six from the main performers Vocal Jazz Ensemble. There were thirteen vocalist in the opening group and a pianist, while the main group had twelve vocalist, one pianist, one bass, and one drum. Before hand going to the concert I thought it would’ve been the same boring concert I been to, but this one opened my eyes, from the very beginning I got hooked into the concert. If I a chance to rewatch the performance I would do it and open me up to not

It was the very last day of summer, definitely the worst. I ordered my new rental trumpet, and the music company said it would be here the next day. I was super excited to actually play a musical instrument, not just some plastic recorders. The next day I go into band and there my trumpet is waiting for me. When we got in we were all excited and ready to play, but nobody knew anything… really about band. Our band director, Mr. Camarta gave us all an idea of how to use an instrument. After that he told us to grab our mouthpieces from our cases, and to try and make sound with them! So we pull them out and try to use them, but when we did it sounded horrible! Even the choir director said “I think some cats are dying in there!” but I’ll never know what it actually sounded like in the choirs point of view.

On Tuesday, April 15, 2014 at 7:30 p.m. two abnds at San Jose State University had their first concert of the spring 2014 and directed by Dahveed Behroozi, Jason Lewis, and John Shifflett. This conert divided and performed in two parts: Part 1:The Bjlort Jazz Combo, and Part 2: The Free Lunch Jazz Sextet. Those program allowed me to experience the sound of the Jazz music. The music told the audience about the story of music by the tempo and pattens. My favorite performer in this concert is Veno Bender. He played the electric bass guitar in this concert, and he appeared most of the solo in part 1. Although I was impressed by the bass and the guitar solo in the first part, part 2 made a more lasting impression on me.
