Essay title: Branzburg Vs. Hayes
General Reaction: I was particularly amazed with the absence of the audience. Jazz music is a very likeable musical preference. The jazz musical recital was given at 1 o'clock during dead hour, so I was expecting a full house. The absence of the audience made the concert kind of dull and lifeless, which changed my mood for the concert. I prefer jazz music over classical music, and I can honestly say I enjoyed the classical performance better. The excitement just wasn't there.
Composition I like best: The compositions that I enjoyed the most were C-Jam Blues by: Duke Ellington (1899-1974), a jazz piece in a very medium tempo. C-Jam Blues was created in 1941 during the twentieth century. The jazz piece was created in a party treatment. The trombone player in this particular composition was our very own Jeffrey Killins, he was astonishing. This particular composition was very familiar because it was on the musical selection list for the first test. I also enjoyed the composition Don't mean a thing- arranged by: Boumpani, another jazz piece in a medium tempo. This jazz composition was composed by Irving Mills and Duke Ellington. I think Duke Ellington is a great choice for a saxophone quartet. It reminds me of my first experience
