On November 22, 2013, I went to the B.B Kings Restaurant and Blues club in downtown Nashville. From five o’clock to nine o’clock at night, Carl Stewart Band played. Then from nine o’clock to one o’clock in the morning the B.B King all-stars played. I did not stay that late though. The Carl Stewart Band was mainly blues with a little bit of light rock. They had acoustic guitars, electric guitar, drums and a few more instruments. All of their songs seemed to have related to life and the things everyday people deal with. Carl Stewart is the singer, songwriter, and guitar player. Richie Gayner is the lead guitar player. Dan Putellie plays the drums. Lastly, Rob Swinton is in charge of the base. It was hard to hear due to all of the people partying, but a few songs that I caught the names of are Initiation, Finally Over, and Look at You. I do not typically like this kind of music, but I really liked their performance. They all played very well together and I liked the lyrics of their songs. B.B King All-Stars were also very good for this particular genre of music. Although, it was getting late and crowed so I did not stay too long. I could barely hear due to all of the craziness. I heard them play Born Under a Bad Sign, Stand By Me, and Hard to Handle. There are four men in the band. The lead singer is very energetic. In 1951, a young blues guitarist named Riley King had his first hit song "3 O'clock Blues.

    A good electric guitar player is part of the group as well. They also at one point had a woman with a nice singing voice perform with them. She sing several songs with them. Next, I found out why they had the Bad New Jazz & Blues Orchestra again at the festival. In the band, one member acted as their conductor. Several individuals play saxophone. A couple of individuals plays horns. Three trumbones are involve, a woman sings well in the band and unlike Space Train had key board player in it. The trumpet players were good and I am not what you call a fan of them. In fact, I like the singing of this woman better than the singer in Space Train. It was very well organized orchestra. People in the audience must have agree because a couple…

    BB King is undoubtedly one of the greatest blues musicians, and an equally unparalleled pioneer of guitar music. Brought up in the midst of poverty, strife, and struggle of the rural Mississippi Delta, King experienced great hardships from a young age, and used this as a source of inspiration for much of his later music (King & Ritz, 1996).…

    This skilled playing brought the whole crowd to their feet during the performance, despite the delicious food sitting right underneath their noses. This song, which was new to many die-hard fans, ended with a powerful drum solo by Brown. This solo was enhanced by the striking notes of Randy McDonald’s beautiful, teal bass. As the night progressed, Castro filled the audience’s ears with a couple of raw sounding covers. B.B. King’s “Bad Luck” and Bob Dylan’s “Gotta Serve Somebody” were instant crowd pleasers, along with Castro’s classic hit “Right as Rain.” Castro and his Painkillers were definitely there to surprise and please their audience, just as they are known for.…

    B.B. King performed a full blues concert, but based off his performance and the crowd reactions, you would not think he was performing anything sad. Though his style is traditionally blues, each song performed, with the exception of “Love Me Tender”, had an upbeat vibe to it. He played a total of nine songs with almost all of them ending with the same melody that the Blues are known for. The acoustics of the venue, Nick’s Uptown, were pretty good. There was only a slight echo, but for the audience it was probably unnoticeable. Actually, Nick’s Uptown did not seem as large as I thought it would be but it is a club after all. King and his band performed in front of a packed house, and from the start, the audience was loud as soon as King got on stage.…

    The Phat Cat Swinger has nine members including one vocalist, one baritone saxophonist, one alto saxophonist, one tenor saxophonist, one trombonist, one trumpeter, one guitarist, one drummer and one upright bass-er. All of them have good musical skills that brought us such an amazing show and a great sense of jazz. They are totally deserved to be one of the most popular swing band in Los Angeles area. Generally, they have all the characteristics of a typical swing band. Their music that night was energetic and bright with fast tempo and very full and strong rhythm section with the frontline of saxophones, trumpet and trombone holding the band together. There were lots of swung notes that made the texture more diverse. I did not need to have either a good ear for jazz or good musical knowledge…

    Monique attended the Swing class at Ambient Studio on March 14, 2009 to heard and dance to the rhythms and sounds of the Etowah Jazz Society. The concert was from 9pm to 12 am in the morning. There look is like a big band but they have a swing feel to them. The bands whole persona is that of a big band that you would see on a dance television show back in the older days. There sound was very mellow and not loud at all. After Monique talked to a couple of the members in the band I found out that there influences on music where commonly set around the swing era, big band jazz, and Natalie Cole. The band is comprised of 18 members who all have different skill levels. When watching the band it looked as though the brass section was more skilled…
