Most of the songs were of long length and with many solos through the songs. The instruments used to create the songs were: saxophones‚ trombones‚ trumpets

For my second listening report‚ I chose to go see Miroslava Katzarova Jazz Quartet at Upstairs club on Mckay street in downtown Montreal. It was a fantastic performance that consisted style Jazz music. Since this was a high-end jazz club‚ the cover was fifteen dollars‚ So I was expecting a really good show.

Concert Report The Wayne Shorter Quarter concert was unlike any concert I have ever been to. The variety of instruments and style of the performers contributed to a unique experience. Not only was the music I heard versatile on several levels‚ but the behavior of the performers‚ appearance of the audience‚ and atmosphere of the venue contributed to my take away from the show. These factors allowed me to obtain a better understanding of jazz as not only an art form‚ but as a culture. The audience
