This second piece relaxes us with a more thoughtful atmosphere. katie rono chicano solo piano sophisticated attire sensual too sheer wow nice bright attitude on the instrument why is the tone muffled? is that Berklee's instrument? well she overcomes that adversity with serious care. :-) who wrote this piece... nice rondo syncopation is treated in a classical genre ae&a is rushed on purpose and there is no accent on the a. In jazz often the syncopated parts of the beat are accentuated I am seriously feeling her climactic moments and her dynamics from one section of the piece to the next chrissi mc women musicians in general "the sexiest elysa po rock jazz classical and I guarantee you you will just be stunned at the talent and power : carolyne dam what attitude "I don't think you know wow she controls the dynamics from the acoustic Nikki on drums dishes out power the strings send chills up the spine well The strings add a refreshing atmosphere good conducting. she carries her unusual appearance with pride Jane Segovia Lucy Holdstadt 1988 996 caf shows 29 acts solutions and resources Shenikia artist Adrienne did the first one. somebody might say no but a lot of people said yes diversity committee plus student diversity forum diversity committee sponsors the concert we're just advisors not the producers Loren Derouse devo hard rock. she has nice choreography fast hard rock nice. very expressive facial expressions if you want to be with me you have to see what I see it won't work any other way she's crossing her eyes "I've had enough hahaha I'm laughing I'm charmed. this is not a cheap artist. Very original thank you to rich ehreman John Di Lazzaro crew and sound check Lee Berk thanks he supports the diversity committee. next act is live to two jazz ramona leading christine Fossinperron is the guitarist. Mambo tpt and flute adventure some uses tensions this is soothing and pretty this arrangement has shape to it. The flute solo begins on a very sensitive note clear statements the eighth notes are not all cold and even, there is some beautiful feminine touch. kudos to the sound man for the bass sound and the wonderful full bodied flute sound The gentleman on guitar who composed the song is in a smooth mood too. he plays similar melodies in his improv to the melodies of the composition wide leaps make up for unexpected muted notes and he definitely keeps interesting cool arabic scales from trumpeter harmonic minor she uses space she has a gritty expression to go with a brassy tone I wonder if she's going to bring it up to a climax she seems to squeeze every ascending passage out of her trumpet with maturity and artistic angst. she is not flashy. understated in the final analysis. :-) soft ending draws you in. makes you listen. back to the drummer female. Stacey is singing and writing The other women move to the background Stacy makes a nice impact when she enters the stage leopard shirt dam this girl is moaning pensive and spiritual beginning clean delivery from the vocals I'm so proud that she took the singing and drumming class from me. sensitive beautiful direct confident harmonic minor perfect 5th below the root er portamento is is intricately subtle. very nice u go I'm feeling the emotion behind my eyes come to the fore. wow tutti call and response powerful the way the energy is apparent even before the bass enters. then the grace and precision of the bass is felt christiane is versatile and talented world class getting into a funky place great half time phrasing of the vocals nice melismatic to the max... I'm feelin dat beautiful subtleties piano is featured in understated clusters this woman puts me into a different place christiane award winner wow frame drums? cool harmonium? woe these are Arabic instruments : dumbek this should prove to be interesting: what is the mandolin shaped instrument? what country am I in again? The mc says I don't know what she means by that butamazing... after christiane finished, suddenly many people jumped up and stayed up for a standing ovation 6/8 feel like Seal. I've been kissed by a rose in the face this vocalist has an elementary presentation. very direct and accessible but she doesn't choose a commonplace 4/4 The background parts are unusually light I like the fact that the background singers exhibit striking diversity nice neck movements unusual- she utilizes the basics of music theory but she finds the alternate path. duo with bassist she is very low key upright bass cadenza this singer is doing justice to my one and only love what courage she has to to such a famous standard nice use of intonation pivotal notes from one section to the next what are they doing ... some kind of fermata bass solo bass solo is relaxing arco these he drops the the bow but recovers with grace he doesn't catch the eye contact with the vocalist ouch This woman doesn't need anything showy very very beautiful. Impressive some standards and some originals original written by Roxanne Christian the background singers look like roses and daffodils diverse pick yourself up and try it again instead of messin up your face hold on please don't give up the fight pick yourself up I don't care what people say try to do things your own lift up your head high try again none of the background vocalists have shoes. very delicate and feminine "happy tune Japanese artist rag time original rag nice unison lines and harmonies two parts plus bass accompanies jazzy melody variety stacatto and legato and other articulation stride contrast between more Oscar peterson type unison runs some shout gospel and very very fast double time stride going back into the half time k hey trade fore ground and background so easily. subtle expressions and not so subtle expressions of sister hood. I'm feeling it thick and it's very very good. this girl pours on thick the sheer rock delivery strong and passionate giving it her all even in her youthful state I can see the flower of stardom. this is a high point of the concert The bassist is out positive message
