4 Examples this time
As we learned, Jazz is not a single “style”, but a culmination of several sounds and cultures. We continue to push the boundaries of jazz and incorporate more influences from around the world in the present era.
Listen to all 4 pieces once all the way through, then answer the following questions. Do give your full effort and Do listen to the examples multiple times as you write your response! I will do the first question for you, please be just as thorough:
—————————————————————————————
Each example uses a Drumset, Bass, some wind instruments. “Grandma B.B.” has a guitar and a fuller ensemble which seems to evoke the sound of the Big Band. “Across the Room” and “Mahmoud’s Mood” uses a dark sounding electric keyboard which seems to make the music more Chill. “Mahmoud’s Mood” also has Congas and adds a little Latin flavor. “Across the Room” sometimes uses Slap Bass which makes it sound Funky.
