There are always too many things in this world that amaze us, a performance, a book and even a kind of music.

When I first heard jazz, I was moved by the shocking sound. That kind of voice contains too many things: there are depressed voices at the bottom, heavy breathing of black people, dignified unruly, and soothing warmth. Everything seems to be related to our life, but if you don't get close to it, you will never understand it, and you will never understand it. So jazz is an accident that we ignore.

I have always been glad that I took this course, otherwise I will always be a layman in music art, so serious that I dare not neglect a class. I listened to every rhythm greedily with appreciation, and learned familiar names that I had always heard but didn't know: Armstrong, Coleman, Taylor and Duffy. ...

It seems that when something is mentioned, we are used to saying its origin first, but I don't know how Sir New Orleans came into being. After consulting a lot of literature, it is still ambiguous and specious. What I know is that the playing form, music content and musical instrument arrangement of this kind of music have evolved as early as the end of 19. As for the so-called "New Orleans Jazz Style", it mainly refers to the jazz played by small bands with at least five people and more than eleven or twelve people in southern American cities in the early 1920s. This kind of music was not invented by someone, but evolved through the mutual absorption and integration of various kinds of music for a long time, which suddenly reminded me of a talented and criticized so-called "arrogant smelly boy"-Morton, who was really excellent, but he ignored many selfless people who contributed to jazz in obscurity. Jazz is not something that one person can do.

I once talked with a friend about colors. She said that red symbolizes enthusiasm, purple symbolizes mystery, and white symbolizes purity. When it comes to blue, we all say "melancholy" in unison. Maybe people will become particularly sensitive when they mention melancholy. And "Bruce" is the pronunciation of "blue" in English, such as rhapsody in blue, Blue Love, Blue Tango and so on. There were too many cries, not only after the suffering of African-American slaves, but also their nostalgia for their hometown and relatives. And when we are tired, when we are far away from home, when we feel wronged or sad in a certain environment, won't that romantic cold jazz style and soothing warm timbre bring comfort to your heart? Writing here, I suddenly remembered a sentence in a book: "The essence of romance is not to let you agree with it in compromise, but to give you time to refuse and resist." Refuse to worry, refuse to be sad, refuse to complain, everything ... let us * * * revel in that wonderful singing, singing, dancing and getting drunk together.

"Transcending inner feelings and reaching the depths of the soul is the ultimate limit for musicians to transcend romance. As an audience, the ultimate goal is not to become a follower, but to become a traitor. " This is the advice given to us by a music critic. Jazz, as a foreign blood, has been integrated into the rigorous and sacred music system of our college. No one knows what the result of the change is, just as no one predicted what the result of the change was at the beginning, just as no one predicted that the flag bearer of jazz has been regarded as a creative master today. But one thing is certain: the road to music or listening to music has become complex and open, full of speculation and creation.

Some people say that jazz is an authentic night drink, but you can't refuse the sound of a grand big band swinging in the sun. Even if you have a picnic on the grass in a small village, its elegance is sweet during the day. Some people say that jazz is a lonely wall that a person faces, sobbing and panicking. How can you not go to see the happy twist at the dance? It makes the girl in the evening dress blush. It can be slow, like the ever-changing sea beating the sand on the beach, or fast, so that musicians can use the saxophone as a horn to drive all animals to run. Its poor temperament only touched you compared with those tall halls, just like the wandering old musicians driven by the Great Depression shivering in the cold wind. It has a sad sadness, but also has the lofty sentiments of defeating the poet and indulging his body and mind. Sometimes it is rougher than saline-alkali land, and sometimes it is smoother than marble floor. Sometimes it's your bare back with bitter coffee, and sometimes it's the life of a local artist.

Let's take a look at what our favorite Duke Ellington said about jazz! "Jazz is a barometer of freedom ... The United States has been brewing the spirit of freedom and independence from the beginning, and jazz was born and developed in this atmosphere. It is so free that many people say it is the only way for this country to freely express complete freedom. "

We live in a high-speed and chaotic era, which absolutely cuts our feelings and explorations into pieces. The result of a little taste is that we define all kinds of things at will, just like jazz is put on all kinds of colorful hats, whether it likes it or not. We always think that we have a height, which is enough for us to overlook everything that has happened without doubting our own judgment. Most of this self-confidence comes from the information provided by various weird and huge media machines. These "pre-school" education, which formed the maximum dose in the shortest time, made our ears swing from side to side in the wind and easily broke many secrets.

The future of jazz is unpredictable. Almost all genres of jazz can be found in the 1990s, including Dixieland, Classical Jazz, Mainstream, Pop, Hard Pop, Post Pop, Pioneer Jazz and various types of fusion jazz. Some people think that jazz has reached its limit, but every innovation starts from an old starting point. Jazz will not disappear as long as human beings have the need to express themselves. In the late 1950s, many critics thought that jazz and classical music would be together in future fusion, but no one predicted the rise of free jazz and fusion. 2 1 century, the fusion of different music will continue, and people will use complex electronic instruments more creatively. Jazz, with its rich and varied forms, can attract anyone to indulge in it and attract enough attention.

Finally, let's make ourselves a cup of soluble coffee and indulge in rhapsody in blue!
