Music 118B Concert Report #1 Jazz Combos Concert Evaluation Before taking Jazz class I barely knew anything about this type music. Six different bands performed fifteen pieces. Most of the pieces are written by popular Jazz composers‚ such as “Cantaloupe Island” by Herbie Hancock or “Donna Lee” by Charlie Parker. Also‚ there was one band that performed pieces written by its members‚ which really impressed me. For example‚ “Preparation” was composed by Alex Reiff‚ who plays bass in the band

Most concerts feature a combination of singing and instrumentals to make long‚ flowing pieces of music. I had the treat to watch a Jazz concert streamed live online from Quinnipac University in Hamden‚ CT‚ and I definitely wasn’t disappointed. Many jazz concerts feature a wide range of instruments which complement and highlight each other. This band was no different. It

Concert Report This semester I attended a jazz concert put on by Truman State University’s Department of Music. It was on December 5th at 8 pm‚ in Ophelia Parrish Performance Hall. The university’s Jazz Ensemble and Jazz Lab band both performed. Both bands were directed by Tim AuBuchon. The bands drew in a decently sized crowd. I was able to recognise several of my peers sitting in the audience alongside of me. I pleasantly surprised by the size of the bands and the level of skill they had. Both

some videos of a jazz trumpeter playing a complicated solo with her band and Joseph decided he wanted to be just like her someday. Learning the trumpet took a substantial amount of time‚ so Joseph practiced every day after school for at least an hour. Joseph’s rapid progress and enthusiastic dedication impressed his band teacher‚ Ms. Watson. One day in early October‚ Ms. Watson stopped Joseph after class had ended. "I think you’re ready for a solo when we have our winter concert in six weeks. How

Butts Jazz Concert Report The concert I decided to go to was held in Valley Brewing Company. The event was called “Take 5‚ Jazz at the Brew”. I went to the show July 11‚ 2013. The group I saw didn’t have a name. It was just a group of people performing together. The concert hall was a very nice venue. It was on an extended closed off area past the common area at the bar. The area was very dim lit and was decorated very fancy and elaborate. The music that was played that night was Jazz. The group

at the Guzman hall I was filled with anxiety as well as excitement as to what was to come. Prior to this semester I had not listened to any jazz music and I was unaware of any artists or songs. Therefore going to a jazz concert was a rare experience that I now cherish. When I first entered the hall I was greeted by a group of musicians called ‘The Stamps Jazz Quintet’‚ there were 4 musicians at the front of the hall and they were taking place. The musicians included Sam Hart who played the saxophone

full of Jazz. The first group‚ the Jazz Ensembles‚ was led by Greg Wheeler. The first piece was “Lost Mind” the stand out of this piece was the Alto Saxophonist‚ Kyle Merrill. He stood out and grabbed my attention more so than the other soloist during this piece. His solo had a rich sound‚ along with a smooth and swingy rhythm. The piece over all had a rhythm that was easy to tap your foot to and I was doing so throughout the piece. It was a bright sounding piece and it started the concert off on
