Performance reviews -Jazz and American culture-music
Order instructions:
THE PERFORMANCE REVIEWS( 5 live performance reviews or CD reviews. Remember, you should write one paragraph minimum, one paragraph maximum. Here is an example:
I attended a performance at Jimmy Mak’s in downtown Portland. The featured band was the Chris Brown Quartet. Their repertoire included jazz arrangements of 80’s pop tunes. I especially liked their version of Journey’s “Separate Ways.” Alto saxophonist John Nastos is an amazing improviser and really brought the energy up during his solos. Brown is a great bandleader; while he fulfills his role as timekeeper, he also added some flashy drum solos which showcased his incredible technique and sense of drama. I heard some elements of bebop and hard bop but also elements of fusion as well. I highly recommend the Chris Brown Quartet as one of the best jazz groups in Portland.
Be as descriptive as you can. I want to get a sense of what you heard and what you have observed. Remember, you are supposed to do 5, BUT if you attended a show worth 2 or 3, please write “WORTH 2” or “WORTH 3” next to the paragraph somewhere where I can see it. Again,
