My Experience At A R & B Concert

The last act was Denee Weathers, she had a guitar player with her and sung her heart out. Her empathy and the strength in her voice was very beautiful and made her act extraordinary. Weathers songs were unique and personalized.

They also played “Let’s Dance” by David Bowie. The two guitarists seem to start off simultaneously playing their guitars letting the musical beats take center stage before the vocalists began to sing the lyrics. The female vocalists started the next song a cappella (Chain, chain, chain) Aretha Franklin song “Chain of Fools” after a few chorus the instruments started to play the piano, guitar and then the drums throughout the song with a driving beat. The night began to wind down and the band played “Some Kind of Wonderful” by John Ellison it was first released by Soul Brothers Six in 1976. This song had the whole place singing along. As I close with my review of what I thought of the band I can personal say I enjoyed myself. They were very entertaining the kept the crowed singing and dancing with an upbeat present. They played most of the song true to the original version. If you like old school 70s and 80s music with a mixture of different genres, then you would like this

On November 18, 2015, I attended a UAB concert involving jazz combos and a guitar ensemble. This concert was filled with amazing musicians, intricate solos, and thick harmonies. There were three jazz combos and one guitar ensemble; the first set was the guitar ensemble, which contained four guitarists and one bass player. The ensemble consisted of four songs: “Swing It,” a swing-style song; “Samba #1”; “A Child is Born,” a waltz; and “Bill’s Bay.” The main theme of “Bill’s Bay” was very catchy and memorable, and the ensemble’s most impressive player to me was Michael Galanti on the bass guitar. His solos involved precise pizzicato and quick movement that I have never witnessed in a bass player.

The concert started with a trio; pianist, bassist and drummer. I was not able to take notes since I did not bring any pens or pencils and paper with me to write it down, and I did not want to disturb other people with the light of my phone, so I decided to fully enjoy the music first. Interestingly, I could not find any list of songs they were gonna play. I wish there were list of songs in order to remember the songs better.

The date of the concert was October 5, 2016 and the title of the concert is “Experimental Improvisation with: Kjell Nordeson & Peter Kuhn”. The concert was performed in Mesa College Music building. Peter Kuhn had three instruments with him a bass clarinet, saxophone, and a Bb Clarinet. He used the bass clarinet and the saxophone during his first piece, and the clarinet on the second piece. Kjell Nordeson was on the drum but had a lot of instruments with him. Sometimes he would play the drums as a drums set but sometimes he would put some sort of objects on top of the drum to create different sound effects. He also had a small glockenspiel and a flexatone. The concert hall was very simple, had a

My favorite part of the concert was the second part. The group played a song called “Body and Soul.” The guitarist played slowly before the others joined. They created a relaxed atmosphere with an old-school effect. All the notes were legato except the melodies of the drum which was staccato. The combination added character to the piece and made it entertaining. At 19:00, the pianist played briskly but beautifully, then the guitarist did the same. The notes became high pitched and the tempo and dynamics increased. After the guitar stopped, everything went into decrescendo and the melodies from the bass and drums became choppy (staccato). Overall the piece surrounded the theme of dependence and how it affects one’s happiness or strength. The piano and the guitar brought the happy aspect to the piece and without it, everything weakened and became uncoordinated. Initially it celebrated peace,

The band members were Steven Adler who was the drummers, Michael Andrew who was the bass, Darren Arthur who was the keyboard, William Axl Rose who was vocals, piano, Matt Sorum was drums, and Jeff Isbell was the guitar. They were an unpredictable band.

He had piano accompaniment. I believe the song was in another language. It kind of sounded like a song for kids, like if it was a lullaby, the type of song that is for like nighttime. He didn’t really sing it like something calm or quiet, but it did remind me of the song, ‘Twinkle Twinkle Little Star’. I could hear in his voice that he doesn’t have much experience in singing, but did emphasize the rhythm clearly.

The overall concert offered a wide verity of choir song, from classical pieces composed by Mozart to musical show tunes. The combination of which resulted in an overall enjoyable experience. The concert was not the first choir concert I had ever attended so I went in expecting it to be similar to the high school choir performances I have seen before. I was not expecting the scale of the concert to be so large. Instead of being one choir and an hour-long program there were four groups along with a much longer program. Each of the choir groups had a different dynamic, sound and feel to it. The differences made it interesting.

I was surprised to see how beautiful the hospitals are. They look gothic and solid. The mental institutions look really expensive to build and the size is incredible. Even though the hospitals housed many patients, they were forgotten because patients were out of society's view. They did not live in the larger society. It is shocking that some psychiatrists think they were helping patients get care. Some of the psychiatrist' attempts were barbaric. Patients were even being mistreated by some hospital staff. Watching the documentary, I was surprised because the patients' experiences at the mental hospitals were traumatic. Additionally, something that stood out to me was that drugs may have played a role in keeping mental institutions open.

On Thursday April 25, 2013 , I attended a jazz vocal concert at the Music Concert Hall. The first vocal ensemble opened up the performance with a slow rhythmic song called Blue Skies. It began with vocals and I noticed a light auxiliary percussion and drum rhythm. Also, the bass guitarist used walking bass and the piano and electric guitar joined in as well. The first song also consisted of two soloist Regina and Chantel who took the front stage to show off their chops. After the solo performances they fell back into the vocal sections and finished off the song as a complete band. The second performance had a piano opening which led to vocals joining in at the same time as the rhythm section. This performance
