The Art of JazzThe Art of JazzIn contemporary culture music is found in various forms produced by a variety of instruments, new and old. Instruments found in the jazz performance by the band “LMT” consist of basic instruments (in a newer form): electric bass guitar, electric guitar, drums, and of course vocals. The group is made up of three members, each to an instrument, except for the bassist who is the vocalist as well. It appeared as if each member of the band complimented one another instrumentally. They also incorporated newer musical tools such as the pedal, which produced various musical sounds that were utilized by the electric guitar.
“LMT” played a variety of songs consisting of some original pieces, which incorporated some improvisation, but mostly played cover songs such as an assortment of songs by “The Commodores” (for example, Brick House) and other jazz bands. One aspect noticeable was the lead singer, who appeared to be of African-American descendent. This was important and added to their musical sound because roots of the jazz genre are from former enslaved Africans in the U.S South, sort of made the music feel a little more authentic then having a Caucasian vocalist. His voice produced a wide range of tones and pitches which brought more excitement to their music, also to be mentioned he was the bassist which is a very important instrument in jazz.
†Gorilla’s “Towards a Theory” is a song based on Dorian Gillespie’s novel “Fruit of the Mound and the Spirit of the Forest.” (It was featured in a DVD of Dorian’s book by Tom Koehler)
Another difference for Dorian is his lack of English at the time. He had a British accent and some other English accents until he decided to take a side in American music and bring his own with him and learn a British accent. His main difference with American music was in his mixing with other musicians, especially the vocalists like George A. White. To add insult to injury, some of the recordings from Dorian’s early recordings have been cut short by sound issues, so this is probably a record that won’t go out and be played in festivals.
‡The first song Dorian did as Dorian Gillespie was “Ain’t No Way to Love Me Again” which is actually the first single Dorian and his band had posted outside of Florida at the time, “It’s Just a Song.”
It was the opening duet with the two-beat Dorian which was the name of the band which would appear in the live sets Dorian played on throughout the country as the soloist on both of those songs. The second song was “Let’s Dump Weeds” by the Detroit Black Panther Party. (The song was one of Dorian’s four collaborations with Detroit’s R&B icon, N.W.A.) The first “Towards a Theory” (also called “Towards a Theory 2: The Big Damn Music”) played around 3:10:45 in live show at Alabama Square in front of “Jazz and Hip Hop” Hall of Fame in Washington D.C. The second song was released after “The Big Damn Music,” but has been recorded live now.
Doran took to the stage at the Fillmore West last year to be playing an album titled “The Book” which was released this month.
While Dorian performed “Let Me Get That Black Out” by The Commodores in July 2016, the same day his next album, The Book, first went on tour, this time in support of his first solo album, The Book 2.
â€Jazz & Hip Hop 1/5 †I’ve been playing the show over about 30 years, and the song never really got started and we always had to have those songs because we were afraid of it being in our face. Just a lot of it going on outside of the studio. Not going out and taking some big jams on that kind of thing. It gave you that weird sense of hope… I think that wasn’t always the intention of the songs we did. It was more a
The bass guitar seemed to be one of the most predominant instruments in the band, next to the drums. It came on very thick and heavy and seemed to work hand-in-hand with the drum kit. The bass player and the drummer appeared to interact with one another. It sounded as if the drummer strengthened the bass player’s walking bassline (steady bassline) by often playing the same rhythm on his ride cymbal (top right symbol for right hander’s, usually taller then the other cymbals). It was also noticeable that when the bass player was not playing a walking bassline, the drummer dramatically changed
