Spring Jazz Band Concert Report On Friday, April 29, 2011, I went to see Spring Jazz Concert at Sophia B. Clarke Theater. Most of performers have great instrument skill and show us a wonderful music. Each movement highlights the character, range, and technical abilities of an individual instrument, all of pieces stand on their own as intricate musical gems. The show was divided for two parts, and they have different sections on those two parts. During the concert, we would hear different music programs by playing in different music instruments such as saxophones, trumpets, trombones, drums, bass, guitar, and piano. Each performer represents different music instruments.

    Yonder, Come Fly With Me, In The Mood And I Ll Fly Away

    Most of the performers were sitting down. The singer, xylophone player, and trumpet players stood up while playing. This was a little different because I figured they would all be standing up. Although this arrangement made it easier to see everyone and it made it more organized. Originally there were only two trombone players, but after a few songs a third one…

    A full audience bustles into Mallory Hall on a rainy December afternoon with anticipation for the thrilling sounds of Nicholas Pappone (violin), Grace Mei-En Ho (cello), and Candace Chien (piano); all of whom are seasoned veterans of The Mallory Concert Series at Rutgers University: Camden. The expectation is obvious with the lack of seats available that the concert will be captivating. As the air turns to a silent empty hum, we are ready.…

    I made a right decision by going to the Phat Cat Swinger show at Hip Kitty Jazz and Fondue in Claremont on Friday, February 3, 2012. The show was more than just impressive! The venue was an upper club and lounge with retro decoration that could bring you back to the jazz era. The stage was neat, simple and organized. There were people of all ages. Just like me, they came there to enjoy the music and danced the night away.…

    Salsa Jazz Concert Report

    On the 9th of November I went to the salsa jazz band concert. This all took place at Miami Dade College Kendall Campus in the Alfred L. McCarthy Hall Auditorium. I arrived at the campus around 7 pm, half an hour before the concert started and parked in the garage. At the garage, I met up with my friend Elizabeth with whom I have for the jazz and pop class. From there we both walked to the auditorium with her brother and waited outside for a bit. As I walked in the first thing that they did was give us the program. The program lists all the songs that were played and included all of the players in the jazz band. The director of the band’s name is Rafael Valencia. I noticed that it was pretty full, which to me meant that it was going to be good performances. My friend and I sat…

    Jazz concert review #2

    On Sunday May 2, 2004 I attended a jazz concert with some classmates. The program was entitled Jazz at the Stockmarket. We kind of got lost on the way so we only saw the second half of the show. The Sacramento based musicians were Jim Malone on keyboard, Steve Krohn who played both the guitar and keyboard, Rich Defazio an amazing drummer. That night the band was featuring Ken Stout who is an incredible tenor saxophone player, and also a guest appearance vocalist by the name of Debbie Defazio. There was also a tremendous bass player but his name was not on the program. There was a count off and the music began with a jam-packed house. The first song was called Equinox by John Coltrane. I know I have heard this piece played before at one time or another. When the band played it they added a little taste of their own to it. The song was unique. Ken Stout played two remarkable solos; one in the beginning and on at the end. The Bass player was just fantastic; he flowed with everyone flawlessly in the first piece. The next two bits were written by Steve Krohn, which he dedicated to his three-year-old daughter. One was called Nicole's song. This part of a set was very diverse it included mixes of Christmas and cartoon songs, which blended together perfectly. The song started with a guitar then the saxophone and drums meshed in together. I really enjoyed this piece since it reminded me of the old cartoons I used to watch plus it just made you feel happy inside. I looked around and everybody in the building had a fat smile on his or her face. The next song was entitled Pleasing the Queen. It began with the drummer snapping on the symbols. This song was awesome because there was a total of six solos in the piece. There was some real talent in the band you could feel it in the air.…

    The last extra piece featured was Trio where three artists were featured. In this piece the meter stays as compound but the tempo accelerates and becomes allegro. The instruments featured in this piece were oboe and flutes. It was one of the best pieces of the concert. I have to say that I was pleasantly surprised at how much I enjoyed the concert.…

    Jazz Combo Night Essay

    On Wednesday, November 30th at 7:30 PM I went to The University of North Florida’s “Jazz Combo Night” in the Fine Arts Center’s Robinson Theatre. I had never been to a Jazz concert before and I wasn’t exactly sure what to expect since I haven’t really given much attention to jazz or jazz concerts before. I ended up having such a great experience and I even found myself mesmerized at times by the instruments and how beautiful they sounded being played. I am really grateful I attended the concert because I know have a much greater appreciation for live jazz music and even jazz in general and attending a jazz concert is definitely something I would do again in the future. In Combo 3 the songs Feline by Sebastian Pinillos and untitled written by Albie Sherman. Pedro Millan and Sebastian Pinillos played the tenor…

    Concert Essay 1

    On February 19, 2015, Jared Blum at the Sacramento State University had his first concert of the spring semester featuring plenty of special guests. This concert was presented as partial fulfillment of the requirements that he needs for his Bachelor of Music degree in Jazz Studies. Jared Blum, with his special guests (Megan Spurlock on the clarinet, Morgan Childres on the trombone, the Jazz Combo, the Jazz Essemble, and other special guests), collectively performed nine pieces along with a medley that compromised of three songs at the concert. Prior to taking this course, one of the first questions that I asked myself was “what do I know about jazz?” I have always consociated jazz music with the African American culture, mainly because of the general idea of how jazz music can give off a “bluesy” rhythm. Little did I know how diverse jazz music can be. “Creole Belles”, “Creep”, and the medley that compromised of “When you’re smiling”, “Swing that music”, and “Shiek of Araby” are the pieces that allowed the audience, including myself, to experience the diversity of jazz music.…

    Jazz Concert Review

    The first question I asked myself at the beginning of the quarter was how much do I actually know about jazz? I have always characterized jazz music as a rhythmic and instrumental form of music. My impression on the basis of the jazz has always been portrayed with the African-American race. I think this was build up from the rhythm ‘n' blues era and meaning according to the dictionary ("style of music that was invented by African American musicians in the early part of the twentieth century and has very strong rhythms and often involves improvisation"). But Louis Armstrong's famous reply was "if you had to ask, you'll never know". Whatever else he meant, he was at least saying that jazz is noticeable, but not necessarily understandable by words. (do not really know exact cite where I have got this quote)…

    For this concert report analysis, I was not able to actually go see a concert in person. So I watched a video on youtube since that was an option for this assignment. On Youtube, I watched an orchestral concert that was performed by the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra. From what I saw, the string instruments that were being played by the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra in this particular video are; the violin, the violas, the cellos, the double bass, and the harp. And the wind instruments that were being played are…
