Jazz Concert Essay

A Jingle Jazz Christmas was one of the best Christmas concerts that I attended in years! The concert was performed with great enthusiasm and with great excellence. While attending A Jingle Jazz Christmas, I had the opportunity to watch several classmates and friends perform Christmas carols. Before attending the concert, I was drained from studying and having an excessive amount of homework to complete with only a little time to do so; however, I did not leave the Jingle Jazz Christmas feeling the

Anyone is allowed

The performance I attended was “Cape Fear Society Scholarship Concert,” which was a musical ensemble comprised of saxophones, trumpets, trombones, a piano, a drum player, end even a bass. Jonathan Hill, one of the instrumentalist who played the drums, was awarded that night with a scholarship. All of the performers can play their instruments in an unusual way which is referred to as swing. I have never been to a jazz concert before so it was interesting to hear the saxophones play swing, it really

Having some experience with playing the clarinet, this concert was just amazing. Música Viva took place on March 25, 2018 with the musicians being Rich Moore, Jackie Moore, Philip Spencer, David Nuccio, John Lauler and Adam Cowger. Rich Moore, being the lead performer thought all seven compositions, showed the amount of skills he has with the clarinet by playing pieces with a range of melodies, tempos, pitches, rhythms and forms. Each composition had their own distinctive sound making them unique

Attending a Jazz Concert The latest concert that I attended was the NEIU Jazz Ensemble. It was held in the NEIU auditorium. This was my first time attending a Jazz concert. Therefore, I didn’t know what kind of music to expect or any music that I was familiar to. This concert was a new experience for me. It was far different from a rock concert held in some big venue. The purpose of this concert was to give people a taste of the NEIU Jazz Ensemble. The heritage or the background

On Wednesday April 12, 2017 I went to the Frost Studio Jazz Band Concert at the Maurice Gusman Concert Hall at the University of Miami. The conductors of the concert included frost students at the University of Miami who are graduating this year. The conductors were Jessica Hawthorne, Andrew Loose, Kyle Moreen, Andrew Peal and Derek Pyle.

I chose to attend a jazz concert at UNCW on September 28th, 2016. The musicians playing were: Jerald Shynett on trombone, Andy Whittington on piano, Natalie Boeyink on bass, Justin Hoke on guitar and Michael D’Angelo on drums. There were two special guests playing with this ensemble: Lynn Grissett on trumpet and Ryan Mulder on saxophone (joined them on stage for only a few select pieces). Upon walking in to the theater the stage was set with the piano on stage left the drums on stage right and the

It was just before our winter concert of 2017, and I had my first jazz band solo ever being performed in front of my classmates, community, and family. It was in the song “The Little Drummer Boy” and I had been working for weeks trying to get this solo perfect. Everyday I would come home and work for at least an hour on it to get it perfect, but it just wasn’t happening. Eventually, the day before the concert I still didn’t have the solo perfect, so I practiced for about three hours and it had only

I never came to this venue for the music before, usually just for the food or conversation. Okay let’s be honest here, mainly for the food. But on Friday nights, Seven44 has jazz night and I thought to myself, why not? Worst comes to worse, I get a great meal out of it. I walked in with a friend and we took a seat near the bar. It was a quaint little restaurant; the tables were very close together but then that was because the stage took up half of the floor space. And tonight, for the first time

The UIC Vocal Jazz Ensemble started the performance first. The ensemble consisted of thirteen members, and they opened the performance with a Christmas carol. There were three males and four female soloists who were scat singing. The ending of the song was very cool when the male soloist said, “Better watch out now”. The song was very interesting and created a delightful atmosphere to start the performance along with the Christmas spirit. The second song that the ensemble performed was called “In
