Jazz Concert

I went to the Jazz concert this week and had such a great time. The vocal jazz groups were soooooooooo great! Their tones, rhythms, tempos, blend, resonance, and dynamics were sooo tight! They got into the music so much, the soloists were really fun to watch. The whole choir communicated really well with the soloists just through the looks on their faces and there body language. The soloists were very mature sounding and didn’t spread or push, their improv and scatting were fantastic. The soloists listened to the choir well while being accompanied; they all stayed together really well. As the soloists sang, the background had perfect dynamics, not too loud or too soft. All the soloists seemed very comfortable, and didn't really seem nervous, they were just there to perform and have a good time. Everyone swings with the music and looks so happy to be on stage performing for people. They were well prepared, experienced, and you could tell they worked rly hard and practiced hard! Ahhhhh sooo good!! You could see the soloists move with the music, they all have a lot of emotion and flowed with the rhythms. The background cords mixed with the soloists were so cool sounding, I love tri-tones! All the soloists had really nice ranges. I really loved the variety of songs, from upbeat, to smooth jazz, from romantic and eerie sounding, peaceful to delightful and happy. With so many differences, it keeps the audience attentive and on their toes. Jazz just brings me to my happy place; I don't know how many stations I have on my Pandora that are full of famous jazz singers, it’s my soul music!! I love to sing jazz, play it, listen to it, watch it…that's another thing I love about jazz, it's so fun to watch, and it’s almost as if everyone had their own character, they express so much, and it shows on their faces how much they love what they do!! I wish I could be a part of something as awesome as this! I'm definitely trying out for a vocal jazz group next year, no doubt!!
