With the four major elements of music, melody, harmony, tone and rhythm, this traditional band had them all. In my opinion, a jazz musician has more knowledge, and understanding of their instrument, then most musicians. For example, the vocalist Paul King, unlike today’s modern music, his voice is just another instrument. The vocalist is expected to have the same control and command over his instrument, as the rest of the band. Rarely, can you find a singer of such quality.
The Harmony that’s created in the songs, by different instruments, or just one, came from two or more notes; that they played at the same time. Harmony is just as vital as melody, usually done, by chords variations. The harmonies the band played made the music seem fuller and richer and more satisfying to the listener.
The band not only sounded great, and was very professional; performers wore

Few producers throughout the years have been as influential as Phil Spector was to rock music. The techniques he created and popularized in the music he wrote changed both rock music and the way it was recorded. These techniques include doubling and reverbing, both of which contributed to his famous “wall of sound”. Though Phil Spector produced many songs performed by many different artists, there are some which offer stellar representations of the musical developments he made. Such songs include “You’ve Lost That Loving Feeling” and “River Deep, Mountain High”.

Two of the biggest groups to separate themselves from the other bands of the 1960s were the Beach Boys and the Beatles. Each had their own style of rock ’n’ roll and their own way of creating new music. The Beatles had a very British pop style at the start, which morphed into their unique style of music as they blended and mixed it with different kinds of “world music.” The band worked together to write and develop their style, which was different from the Beach Boys “whose creative center was unquestionably one member of the group” (Starr & Waterman, 305) Brian Wilson. Through Wilson, the Beach Boys developed a surfin’ style of rock ’n’ roll and like the Beatles, Wilson liked to experiment with different instruments and effects to change their sound.

Jazz is most often thought to have been started in the 1920s as this explosive movement, but that is in fact not the case. Starting in the late nineteenth and early twentieth century many African American musicians have started to explore their taste in improvising, and where better to do that than New Orleans (Anderson). Before the 1920s these jazz musicians have already been going around sharing the unique sound, but up until then, jazz had remained majorly in New Orleans. Interestingly during this period, a common jazz band would consist of a cornet, a clarinet, a trombone, and a rhythm section when at this period of time the clarinet is not commonly associated with being a jazz instrument, it moved into being the saxophone rather.

If everyone does the exact same thing then life becomes predictable and boring, barely worth living. The Pedestrian by author Ray Bradbury is a good example of what conformity does to society.

The reason I choose the song “Smile” by Kirk Franklin is because it’s an inspirational song. It’s a song that’s made to keep everyone motivated; this song is something to make people work harder or want to try harder to accomplish something. At the beginning of the song Kirk says ¨I dedicate this song to recession, depression and unemployment.” In that line he is talking to the people who are at a point in their lives when they just need a break from all of the stuff they’re going through at that time.
