Thelonious Monk Quartet with John Coltrane at Carnegie Hall - Wi At Carnegie Hall is a live album by The Thelonious Monk Quartet with John Coltrane. Album information[edit] It was recorded on 29 November 1957 at "Thanksgiving Jazz", a benefit concert produced by Kenneth Lee Karpe for the Morningside Community Center in Harlem. Other acts performing included: Billie Holiday, Dizzy Gillespie, Ray Charles, Sonny Rollins, and Chet Baker with Zoot Sims. The recording, by Voice of America, documents two sets by the Monk Quartet with Coltrane that night – an early set (tracks 1-5) and a late set (tracks 6-9), which the recording does not fully document. The tape was stored at the Library of Congress where it sat untouched, until 2005 when it was discovered by recording lab supervisor Larry Appelbaum. Reception[edit] The recording has been highly praised: Newsweek called it the "musical equivalent of the discovery of a new Mount Everest," and Amazon.com editorial reviewer Lloyd Sachs called it "the ultimate definition of a classic".

12 Cellisten - The Man With The Harmonica Musical Instruments The great majority of musical instruments fall readily into one of six major categories: bowed strings, woodwind, brass, percussion, keyboard, and the guitar family, the first four of which form the basis of the modern symphony orchestra. The four principle orchestral string instruments are (in descending order of overall pitch) the violins (usually divided into two sections, playing individual parts), the violas, the cellos and the double basses. Each have four strings arranged in order of pitch, can be played by means of a bow (arco) or plucked (pizzicato), but whereas the violin and viola are played with the instrument resting between the shoulder and the chin, the larger cello (or, to give it its full title, violoncello) is placed facing outwards between and slightly behind the knees, and the bulky double bass is played standing up or seated on a high stool. Trumpet one of the most ancient of all instruments.

Les différents styles de jazz - Caet La beauté et la complexité du jazz résident dans la grande variété de courants et de styles dans ce genre musical. Au fil des siècles, les compositeurs se sont démarqués en proposant autant de modifications et de changements plus intéressants les uns les autres qu’il est difficile de tous les définir. Cependant, les experts qui se sont penchés sur le sujet ont réussi à trouver un terrain d’entente sur les différents styles qui ont marqué l’histoire du jazz et qui continuent à être exploités actuellement. Le New Orléans Considérée comme la toute première forme musicale du jazz, le New Orléans a été créé à La Nouvelle-Orléans, en Louisiane avant d’être diffusée à Chicago dans les années 1910 et à New York en 1920.

Oscar Peterson Oscar Emmanuel Peterson, CC, CQ, OOnt (August 15, 1925 – December 23, 2007) was a Canadian jazz pianist and composer. He was called the "Maharaja of the keyboard" by Duke Ellington, but simply "O.P." by his friends.[1][2] He released over 200 recordings, won eight Grammy Awards, and received numerous other awards and honours. He is considered to have been one of the greatest jazz pianists,[3] having played thousands of live concerts to audiences worldwide in a career lasting more than 60 years. Biography[edit] Peterson was born to immigrants from the West Indies; his father worked as a porter for Canadian Pacific Railway.[4] Peterson grew up in the neighbourhood of Little Burgundy in Montreal, Quebec. It was in this predominantly black neighbourhood that he found himself surrounded by the jazz culture that flourished in the early 20th century.[5] At the age of five, Peterson began honing his skills with the trumpet and piano.

However, this does not hold true for those who have a great love for music. Music education actually touches all areas of learning. Music teachers in elementary schools can be expected to teach children about the process of learning certain musical instruments such as recorders and keyboards. In secondary schools, students in music are taught about how to perform in different types of music ensemble. At the university level, you can expect to learn more about music if the course that you have taken involves arts and humanities programs. Even if your course does not have anything to do with music, you can still participate in certain musical activities that are capable of developing your talent as a musician.

Le jazz et ses déclinaisons : un véritable bouillonnement des sens Le jazz, un style musical très particulier, connu pour être un mélange de différents styles musicaux dont la plupart sont d’origine afro-américaines et en définitive une musique bien mal comprise. En effet, toutes les idées que l’on s’en fait éloigne totalement de jazz de ce qu’il est en réalité. De par sa complexité, on a tendance à le rejeter systématiquement sans prendre le temps d’apprécier ce pur méli-mélo de mélodies inédites. Les origines du jazz Née dans le courant du dix-neuvième siècle, le jazz est le résultat d’un mélange culturel entre les traditions d’Afrique et les méthodes instrumentales harmoniques et mélodiques d’Europe. Le ragtime ou l’ancêtre du jazz Vers la fin du dix-neuvième, au sud des Etats-Unis, on entend de plus en plus, dans les plantations de coton, un certain type de chanson, considéré comme rustiques.
