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 voice contains too many things: there are repressed voices at the bottom, heavy breathing of black people, dignified and bold, and soothing warmth. Everything seems to be related to our life, but you will never understand it unless you approach it. Therefore, 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 I was careful not to neglect a class, listened to every rhythm greedily with appreciation, and got to know familiar names: Armstrong, Coleman, Taylor and Duffy. ...

It seems that one thing is mentioned. We are used to talking about 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 one person, but evolved through the mutual absorption and melting of various kinds of music for a long time, which suddenly reminded me of a person, the talented and criticized so-called "arrogant smelly boy"-Morton, who was really excellent, but he ignored a lot of silence.

I once talked with a friend about color. She said that red symbolizes enthusiasm, purple symbolizes mystery, and white symbolizes purity. When it comes to blue, we all say "melancholy" in unison, and people may become particularly sensitive when they are depressed. And "Bruce" is the pronunciation of "blue" in English, such as rhapsody in blue, Blue Love and Blue Tango. It is not only the cry of African-American slaves after suffering, but also their nostalgia for their hometown and relatives. 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, and everything ... Let's * * * revel in that wonderful song, sing, dance and get 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 be a follower, but to be a traitor. " This is the advice given to us by a music critic. Jazz, like 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 expected what the result of the change was at the beginning. Just as no one expected that the standard-bearer of jazz has long been regarded as a creative master today, one thing is certain: the road to music or listening to music has become complex and open, full of speculation and creativity.

Some people say that jazz is the authentic wine at night, but you can't refuse the sound of the majestic big band swaying at the grand party in the sun. Even if you have a picnic on the grass in a small village, its elegance is the sweetness of the day. Some people say that jazz is a lonely wall faced by a person, sobbing and panicking. How can you not watch the happy waist-twisting shape at the dance-it makes the girl in the evening dress blush, which is slow. Just as the ever-changing sea beats the sand on the beach, it can also quickly make musicians regard the saxophone as a horn that drives all animals to run wildly. Its poor temperament, just relative to those high above the hall, touched you, just like those old musicians who were driven by the Great Depression to tremble in the cold wind. There is a sad feeling and a broken poet's unrestrained pride. Sometimes it is rougher than saline-alkali land, and sometimes it is smoother than marble floor.

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 produced and developed in this atmosphere. It is so free that many people say that this 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 support provided by various weird and huge media machines. These pre-school education forms the maximum dose in the shortest time, which makes our ears swing from side to side in the wind and easily breaks many secrets.

The future of jazz is unpredictable. Almost all genres of jazz can be found in the 1990s, including Dixieland Jazz, Classical Jazz, Mainstream Jazz, Pop Jazz, Hard Pop Jazz, Post Pop Jazz, Pioneer Jazz and various types of fusion jazz. Some people think 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 appeal to anyone.

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