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

There has been much indecisiveness on when and where the origin of Rock music took place and from. The earliest known forms of Rock music’s foundation can be traced back to the late 1940’s and into the early 1950’s. As the development of early Rock music began to surface in the 1950’s, the styles were influenced not only by the musicians of the era, but also by the culture and region. Historians and experts of music have long debated on when and where they believe the birth of Rock music took place

The Keith McKelley Project’s performance was very energetic and the band added variations which surprisingly enhanced already popular songs: “Never Too Much”, “Inner City Blues”, “We Are One”, “Summer Madness” and “Jamica Funk.” Keith McKelley was the lead performer, playing both the tenor saxophone and electric wind instruments. None of the songs that McKelley performed were his originals, so it is difficult to associate Keith McKelley Project to a particular musical style but the performances were

Widely acclaimed saxophonist, Donny McCaslin, a graduated of the Berklee College of Music, started to show enormous compositional and improvisational capabilities very early, namely in 1998, when he released his debut album Exile and Discovery. Other aesthetically rigorous works such as The Way Through, Soar, and In Pursuit all became intimately connected to a miraculous phase in his career that turned this Californian promise into a highly respected voice within the new jazz scene. During that period

Although the biography was reminiscent of Suetonius’s Lives of the Caesars, Einhard did develop a unique literary style all his own, which would go on to inspire Bishop Asser’s Life of Alfred the Great and biographies of Louis the Pious. This technique provided a stark contrast to the hagiographic writings characteristic of the time. Although Charlemagne was certainly represented as a pious Christian man, Einhard didn’t want this to comprise all of what made Charle’s a great

On December 5th, the University High School Show Choir and Jazz Band performed. The show that the UHS Show Choir put on turned out to be fantastic. There were seven songs that the Show Choir performed, which varied from Ella Fitzgerald as well Broadway Musicals from Anything Goes, Gentleman Prefer Blondes, and Chicago. The first number was a song called “Anything Goes” from the 1934 musical Anything Goes, which was sung by soloist, Madelene Raneses. Madelene has very good potential in her singing

On April 18, 2017, the Jazz Ensemble at University of Rhode Island collectively performed nine pieces during the concert. “Contemplation” and Monk’s Mood/Well You Need’nt” were easily memorable pieces that provided the audience with a wide range experience, from swing to cool to classic jazz. “Contemplation” was composed by McCoy Tyner in 1967, had a bluesy and fusion feel to it. There was a progression from slow to fast beat and it have a lot of solos, starting from Isaiah Brown (alto saxophone)

On November 18, 2015, I attended a UAB concert involving jazz combos and a guitar ensemble. This concert was filled with amazing musicians, intricate solos, and thick harmonies. There were three jazz combos and one guitar ensemble; the first set was the guitar ensemble, which contained four guitarists and one bass player. The ensemble consisted of four songs: “Swing It,” a swing-style song; “Samba #1”; “A Child is Born,” a waltz; and “Bill’s Bay.” The main theme of “Bill’s Bay” was very catchy and

After reading this please give this letter to a historian. This letter is all about 1920s inventions fads and music. I hope not a lot as changed. In the 1920s fellas and babes were enjoying the fine life. At this time period the country was diverse. Jazz became a new thing.  The african americans introduced this music from jazz we got the shimmy, turkey trot, buzzard lope, chicken scratch, monkey glide, and the bunny hug all dances that would usually go with jazz . We also had country music for the
