Herbie Hancock – Live in Concert 2006

Herbie Hancock – Live in Concert 2006

Watch online Jazz concerts, and write a separate concert review paper for each concert.
The first goal of the paper is to prove that you watched an entire performance, and paid attention to details the entire time.
The second goal of the paper is to fulfill the writing requirements for a bachelor’s degree. Each student should work on their ability to communicate clearly in writing.
Do not use the “first-person” voice when writing the review.
 Write like a reporter: stating who, what, and when.
 Avoid using the word “I”.
 Instead of saying “The concert I chose to review was”, say “Herbie Hancock performed a concert at the Atlanta Jazz Festival on May 5th, 2022”
 Instead of saying “I thought the piano player was amazing”, say “The piano player amazed the audience with their incredible skill”.
 Instead of saying “I was bored the entire time”, say “The concert was not interesting”
 Your ideas are already presumed to be your own. Your ideas may communicate clearer and stronger when stated directly.
The average “A” paper has 8-12 paragraphs and includes details about the venue, each musician, and each song. Write it to be interesting to the reader: like a great blog-post or magazine article.
Here is the suggested process:
 Watch the entire video and take good notes on all of the performers, the songs performed, and what you thought about each one.
 The songs and performers will be announced at different points in the concert. You may also search the YouTube comments or the Web for needed information, but avoid using ANY copy and paste.
 Write an intro paragraph explaining which concert you choose, including date, place, name, and why you picked it.
 Write a paragraph describing the musicians as they appear in the video. Don’t just list them, and avoid any copy and paste. No biographical information is needed. Make it interesting!
 Write a paragraph for each song, describe it and what you thought of it
 Write a closing paragraph: summarize your overall impression of the concert.

ALBUM – A Collection of Songs

Posted on | by Brian Leakey

If your life had a musical sound track, what would it be called and what ten songs would it include thus far?

The songs can be anything from Barney or music you remember as a child, tv theme songs, movie themes, prom songs, songs your parents listened to or anything that triggers a memory of your life at various stages.

Create a make believe sound track (ALBUM – A Collection of Songs) of your life and have a Side A, and a Side B (Include at least 5 songs on each side like a vinyl LP). List the names of the songs only (or song and original artist) and do not download the actual songs or MP3s or provide links to youtube, etc. If you do not know what a vinyl LP is, please google it.
The first 5 songs should be from things you remember from childhood to teenage years and the last 5 songs should be from teenage years to adulthood.
Give your soundtrack a name or title.
Create an album cover and please include a pic of yourself as part of the cover artwork so that I can put a face with your name.
Pick one song from your childhood and one song from adulthood (your two favorites) from your soundtrack and write one short paragraph for each and describe why you selected these songs and what they mean to you and your life.

True art

Do pop music, folk music, pop art, popular literature, and the like qualify as “true art?” How do you decide? What standards do you use? Support your position with at least two specific works of art, literature and/or music representing at least two of the three disciplines (art, literature and/or music).
