    How Is Amelia Earheart Historically Accurate

    This is where we see black society emerging into the lives of white society in a more positive way. Although segregation was still prominent in the 20’s and 30’s, many of the most famous jazz musicians were black. Throughout the movie jazz is played excessively. In one scene, an African American woman is shown singing at a party, in another scene; Amelia and Putnam are dancing to jazz playing on the radio. The movie shows how the music was played during this time period. It was generally on the radio or played during live performances in small cabarets, dance halls and ballrooms.(10) Throughout the movie music is shown in these ways, giving the audience a feel of what it was like to listen to music and how music would be played during this time…

    Romare Bearden: African Americans Of Color

    Romare Bearden was an American artist who was born in the South in 1911. As an African American, Bearden sought to convey the experiences shared by Americans of color. Bearden’s early work consisted of more oil paintings, but his work evolved into collage art around 1964. Bearden began using spray paint and other techniques to make the collages seem almost like an oil painting themselves, which added to their complexity and intrigue. The colors and layers of his works were meant to provoke tension and to encourage discussion of the inequality and challenges that Americans of color faced, while also capturing the feel of authenticity of universal black cultures. Using his collage technique, Bearden managed to shine light on how constructed views…

    Searchin' by Duke Ellington

    by DukeEllington. The song can be found in Section 1: Basic Musical Concepts, "FolkMusic, Art Music, and All That Jazz."As a referential listener, two things come to mind as I listen to this easy go jazz song by Duke. The first, I remember the first time really hearing jazz musicwas when I was at a dinner banquet for my great grandmother. Since then, Ihave always associated Jazz with a fine dining background music or elevatormusic at a nice hotel or business. The second, is a reference to Duke Ellingtonhimself. I had to a little project on Ellington for Black History month as a gradeschooler. So I am fairly familiar with his music and his life. In respect to my firstcorrelation,…

    Romare Bearden "The Family"

    Romare Bearden, a great artist that expresses many feelings throughout his photos. He expresses different types of feelings and meanings through colors, background, character demeanor, and even the posture of the characters in the picture. My favorite painting by Romare Bearden has to be "The Family"(1941) due to the fact that I had a personal connection to the picture. I never knew of Romare Bearden's other painting that related to this one which is "The Family"(1975). This is a similar picture but the family isn't as depressed as the family in the first picture. This family doesn't seem to be struggling and appears to be having a good time at the dinner table with one another. These two pictures both have a different meaning but are very similar and share a lot in comparison.…

    The Musical Genre: Jazz

    Jazz is one of the musical genres that represent America. It had a combination of influences from Africa and Europe. When Africans were brought to the United States as slaves, they brought their music and culture with them. Samuel A. Floyd Jr. stated “…particular musical tendencies were brought with Africans to the New World…and spread throughout African-derived populations in the United States, eventually becoming an integral part of the music we know as jazz.” African slaves used musical expression for social purpose in the 1800s; they sang songs when they are working or they played drums. The immigration of Europeans started in the seventeenth century. They brought the instrumentations, the tonality, the chords, and the form into the United…

    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.…

    African American Folk Music Research Paper

    Spirituals are religious folk songs that were created and first sung by African Americans in slavery around the 1860’s and passed along from one generation to the next. As the song(s) is (was) passed on, it starts to change. The changes that take place become a part of the original song and eventually the music takes on a different form. In the time of music making, Americans fought and won a war for independence while the rapidly expanding Black population remained enslaved.…

    Concert Report - TCU Jazz Combos

    The name of the concert that I attended was called “TCU Jazz Combos” and featured a variety of jazz compositions. This concert took place in the Pepsico Recital Hall on November 14, 2012 at 7:00 in the evening. The event was casual; however, I chose to wear khaki pants and a button down shirt because I was not certain as to what the dress code would be. The performers’ names and their respective instruments were Mike Korson- Saxophone, Garrett Wingfield- Saxophone, Luke Wingfield- Trumpet, Alex Neal- Guitar, Edo Frenkel- Piano, Will Gilstrap- Bass, Russell Wharton- Drums, and Tanner Webb- Trombone. During the concert they played various jazz compositions written by some of the very performers themselves. Several other pieces were more well known jazz compositions from internationally recognized artists. The concert itself was not very crowded, with pockets of individuals scattered throughout the audience. There was definitely interaction between the performers and the audience. I found this aspect of the jazz concert to be unique to other concerts. Jazz concerts are significantly less formal than classical orchestra concerts or even piano concerts in which applause is saved for the very end. In jazz concerts, after a solo it is considered appropriate to applaud, even during the middle of a piece. Having never attended a jazz concert before, I found this to be a wonderful learning experience.…
