Branzburg Vs. HayesEssay title: Branzburg Vs. HayesGeneral Reaction: I was particularly amazed with the absence of the audience. Jazz music is a very likeable musical preference. The jazz musical recital was given at 1 oclock during dead hour, so I was expecting a full house. The absence of the audience made the concert kind of dull and lifeless, which changed my mood for the concert. I prefer jazz music over classical music, and I can honestly say I enjoyed the classical performance better. The excitement just wasnt there.
Composition I like best: The compositions that I enjoyed the most were C-Jam Blues by: Duke Ellington (1899-1974), a jazz piece in a very medium tempo. C-Jam Blues was created in 1941 during the twentieth century. The jazz piece was created in a party treatment. The trombone player in this particular composition was our very own Jeffrey Killins, he was astonishing. This particular composition was very familiar because it was on the musical selection list for the first test. I also enjoyed the composition Dont mean a thing- arranged by: Boumpani, another jazz piece in a medium tempo. This jazz composition was composed by Irving Mills and Duke Ellington. I think Duke Ellington is a great choice for a saxophone quartet. It reminds me of my first experience
Dictionary.com defines “classical jazz” in the following way: “A variety of musical genres, including rhythm-swing, guitar-rock, blues, acoustic, and jazz, have been distinguished from the conventional styles of jazz composed with more advanced techniques or with a greater number of original compositions.” There is something about jazz not only that is unique to one region of the United States – it’s distinctive to itself – that I find quite appealing.
In my own view, it is probably best to be at ease with the classical (and, more generally, contemporary) jazz music, and do everything but “play it” at home. As an American, I can imagine that this would be a major consideration in a society that has little or no classical music. Most people who can play classical music, such as the late Bob Dylan, still consider that music is one of the most unique and well-developed forms of music any one could ever consider, and I think that it’s a good fit for this country. My own personal favorite, however, is D.R.A.’s, which I enjoy playing in my apartment as much as I can.
My second favorite type of music I’m most comfortable playing is: melodic jazz with harmonic, or the harmony section (often called “melodic jazz”). We use this song in many other genres. I love the melodies of melodically abstract jazz, with rich melodies, but often this rhythm section is too rich, often with very dense, low notes. It does remind me of the original jazz songs for example and could remind me of one very early jazz group, such as the Byrds.
MOTM: There are two ways to play these composition pieces on the piano. One is by the thumb, and the other is done with the middle finger. How much of an effect do these two finger pianos have?
JONES: Most of us have a number of ways to play these compositions, each with it’s own unique musical elements. For example a few songs may be so simple that people can see how well they’re working on them. I always think of a little piece like: “Tears for a Cat” for the piano accompaniment, “Let’s Go” for the orchestra accompaniment, or simply “It’s So Funny You Like to See A Cat’s Eyes Wide Open” for the piano accompaniment. This makes one feel like the musicians who wrote the music as part of their own songwriting team, but they have control behind the keyboard. So in theory a big advantage of the music is that you can play it at a slower tempo, or you can play it slowly and easily, so the idea that it can just be a little bit slower and take longer to progress around.
There are two things I remember when I played classical music. One was that the rhythms of the music didn’t match that of the rhythms
