...COUNT BASIE / ONE O’CLOCK JUMP Count Basie wrote One o’clock jump in 1937, with arrangements Eddie Durham and Buster Smith. At the same time, the song became the theme song of the Count Basie Orchestra. Eight instruments are used in this song; these are piano (C. Basie), trumpet (E. Lewis), trombone (B. Scott), saxophone (J. Washington), guitar (F. Green), Drums (J. Jones) and bass (W. Page), which brings in the whole reed section backed by the trombones and their loping punctuation, to a finish that was supposed to have everyone off their feet. One o’clock jump plays simpler standard a 12-bar blues instrumental, then uses more melodic motion and passing tones in the second 12 bars. In the song, there is a typical of Basie’s early riff style. There were at least five different riffs. You know, there was one riff of saxophones used behind the trombone solo. Another riff the trumpets used behind the saxophone solo. And another ensemble chorus, which consisted of about three different riffs: the saxophone section doing one, the trombones doing another, and the trumpets doing another one. The instrumentation is based on “head arrangements” where each section makes up their part based on what the other sections are playing. The Basie’s music is always intended for dancing and thus it makes sense that he has the best rhythm section, which bases on bass, drums and guitar in the song. The high- fidelity (hi-fi) song affects a lot of big bands. Finally until duration of the song (3...

...History of Jazz 10/9/2011 Swing. A new evolution of music was developing during the 1930s. What was developing was possibly the most notable styles, movements and sub-genres to evolve out of Jazz, the unmistakable Swing. This new style was about more than just the music and great musicians, it was a reaction to a pivotal time in America’s history, it was a cultural phenomenon, it made people get up and dance. This was an important musical movement for this country, most notable the younger generation, in that it was a welcome distraction to the war that was engulfing all of our resources and attention, along with what was going on in our own backyards; the Great Depression. The danceability of swing was a great stress reliever and a way to have some much needed fun. One thing that makes Swing an experience is the size of the majority of the bands performing this music at that time. And due to the general size of these bands, it was dubbed the Big Band Era. These bands relied on complex scores of standards and new original material alike. Any improvisation was reserved for a soloist, since 10-20 musicians attempting to improvise all at once could be quite a fiasco. This new evolution of Jazz also added something new to the musical mix, and that new ingredient were lyrics. The more consistent musical arrangements and performances, along with the addition of lyrics, made Swing more relatable for larger audiences and therefore became popular amongst those that may have...

Therefore, the popularity of Frank Sinatra and other singers emerged. * The loss of many big-bang musicians to the wartime military. * The migration of many Southern, both white and black, to large Northern and Western cities to work, who preferred R&B and...

...Ella Fitzgerald Ella Fitzgerald was born on April 25, 1918, in Newport News, Virginia, but spent her formative years in Yonkers, New York, and received her musical education in its public schools. When only 16, she received her first big break at the Apollo Theater in Harlem, when she won an amateur night contest and impressed saxophonistbandleader Benny Carter. He recommended her to drummer-bandleader Chick Webb, who hired her in 1935. She soon became a recording star with the band, and her own composition "A-tisket, A-tasket"(1938) was such a smash hit that the song became her trademark for many years thereafter. When Webb died in 1939, Fitzgerald assumed leadership of the band for the next year. By 1940 Fitzgerald was recognized throughout the music world as a vocal marvel - a singer with clarity of tone, flexibility of range, fluency of rhythm, and, above all, a talent for improvisation that was equally effective on ballads and up-tempo tunes. Although for a long time her reputation with musicians and other singers outstripped that with the general public, she corrected the imbalance soon after joining Norman Granz's Jazz at the Philharmonic (JATP) in 1946. She made annual tours with the group and was invariably the concert favorite. Three of her unfailing show-stoppers were "Oh, Lady Be Good," "Stomping at the Savoy," and "How High the Moon." Each would begin at a medium tempo and then turn into a rhythmic excursion as Fitzgerald moved up-tempo...

...Billie Holiday and Ella Fitzgerald were friends and influential singers of the Swing Era. Each singer possessed a unique musical style that continues to be emulated by today’s jazz singers. Listen to Billie Holiday’s Back in Your Own Back Yard and Ella Fitzgerald’s Flying Home. [Back In Your Own Back Yard (Gridley, Chapter 5, Page 83: Jazz Classics for Concise Guide to Jazz CD 1 track 11; Flying Home: Chapter 5, Page 86: Jazz Classics for Concise Guide to Jazz CD 1 track 12]. Respond to each prompt. Then, offer commentary regarding the similarities and differences between the examples. Back In Your Own Back Yard (Billie Holiday) Flying Home (Ella Fitzgerald) Similarities and Differences Tempo (slow, medium, fast, dance-like?) Medium/slow Medium/Fast (BPM) Back Yard is different as slower tempo, as Flying Home is more faster/up-beat Swing feel (Do you sense a weak, medium, or strong rhythmic pulse? Which song has a stronger pulse?) Medium pulse Strong pulse Flying Home has a stronger pulse Syncopation (Is there evidence of syncopation or tugging and pulling against the musical pulse?) Tugging/Pulling background of Lester Young playing the Sax. Guitar elements give like a dirtier sound. There is disorienting being heard. The syncopation seems to be more apparent with the tone in Flying Home; pure and supple tone compared to Backyard. Lyrics (What story, if any, is told by lyrics each artist sings?) That you left your happiness at home, in the backyard. Hard to say because...

...issues; the governance of decisions that define expectations or verify one's performance-- as well as managing and guiding one's decisions and processes for completing a task, also comes into play; finally, the obligation to report, explain, and be answerable to resulting consequences when implementing those actions is quite significant. To put it simply, when taking accountability for something, you are acknowledging and assuming responsibility for your actions.If I go further in depth with this particular topic, we can see that this system of accountability can actually be created by breaking down the very word "accountability," into separate synonyms (words that have the same or similar meaning) and can be categorized as such. The word "count," in "accountability" implies the action of finding the number of elements of a finite set of objects. The traditional way of counting consists of continually increasing a (mental or spoken) counter by a unit for every element of the set, in some order, while marking (or displacing) those elements to avoid visiting the same element more than once, until no unmarked elements are left; if the counter was set to one after the first object, the value after visiting the final object gives the desired number of elements....

...Assignment Five Differentiated Assessment By Ashford University The Unit Goal that aligns with the Common Core State Standards Kindergarten students will count from 1 to 100 by ones with at least 70% accuracy ten out of ten times by the end of the first-grading period that is usually a quarter, October 10, 2014. Kindergarten students will count from 1-100 by tens with minimum of 70% accuracy ten out of ten times by the end of the first-grading period, October 10, 2014. How will mastery be measured? Students will demonstrate knowledge by creating snack time refreshments for the entire room, students, staff, visitors if any, all will be the same number of crackers or grapes; even if the diabetic girls cannot eat the prepared snack. As they hand they snack which are to have ten of the main “course” to the individuals, hand them the snack plate, counting by ten as they hand the plate to the recipient. First person, they’ll say ten; next recipient they’ll say twenty; and so forth until ten people have received snack, and the student has reached the 100 by tens goal. Specific Outcome At the end of this quarter, October 10, 2014, you will be able to: prepare snack for a classroom by equal distribution of the main food item, whether it be celery, crackers or grapes. Students’ will decide which snack will be served (motivation) (Puckett, K., 2013, p. 21). They will place ten-snack items on the snack plates for each in the classroom at snack time. Measurable...

...There is about four parts to the test. If a child isn’t ready they receive a second chance a little later during the school year. If they fail twice, then the teacher has to fill out a form and is then sent to the board of education to determine if the child needs to be referred. After a couple of months of school as the children play in their centers I go around asking them basic questions in reference to what their doing. For example if a child is already counting from one to ten, then if the child is playing with blocks I’ll say “wow how many blocks do you have and the child will be encouraged to count and I may add more to see if the child can count pass ten and eventually to twenty. If there’s a specific child who’s not yet counting then I find creative ways to increase his/her counting ability. I’ll have the child help me with lunch in which they can help pass and count out the napkins using one to one correspondence. Or, have them pass a couple of markers to their friend usually starting off with 1 to three. I use this system when I’m addressing any type of content area and I rotate students twice throughout the day. In reference to collaborative and...

... I realized that I spent a great deal of time at the grocery store, when I could get home earlier and study sooner. This would allow me to get more rest. I believe that my job takes up a great deal of my day. It is very exhausting working in a severe special education program. I believe that when I get home, instead of the grocery store every night, I can wait until the weekend comes in and do errands. I will start picking certain days in which I will post on every week. I will also designate when I will respond back to my classmates, and submit what is due. If there are certain days, I assign myself to fit in my schedule I believe I can be very successful within this program. My time monitoring sheet has taught me that every minute counts and if you use those minutes correctly they can make your day less stressful. I work better with a visual reminder of what I need to do and the time monitoring helps a great deal to keep working in the right direction. As a mom with a 12-year-old and a 16 month old, meals have to be prepared and homework completed.

...The novel starts off with Billy, a writer who is a sports fanatic, game freak, and an army discharge. As the narrator of the book, he talks about his struggles in grade school and about a specific teacher, called Miss (Antonia) Roginski. This man had struggled in her class with tests and readings. He always thought of her as a mother figure, even though she thought he was a late bloomer. He is nearly completing his book and decides to send her a copy for an opinion on it. He fears, and was saddened, that she would not remember him. He later finds out that she does, when the back of the post card wrote, “idiot”. Another flashback begins, and he talks about how he was not able to tune into a football game. His mother repeated answers that they don’t broadcast the games on Friday, just Saturdays. Frustrated and delirious, he ends up catching pneumonia and becomes sick in bed for over a month, which means no games or football. His father introduced him to “The Princess Bride” while he was still just a “lump in bed going through a strength gathering time period”. His father actually was an immigrant from Florin, and is “near illiterate” in the English language. But for the first time in his life, he got hooked on the book. Each night, his father read to him, chapter by chapter, always trying to sound the word properly. He read the book twice to him over a month’s time. The narrator could’ve read it himself if he wanted to, but he wanted his father’s voice. Through...

...second as an important detail of your life. You should not waste every moment in it. So choosing the course which you think fits your capabilities is very important. Studying a specific course in college is not only about paying the fees rather the most important things here are the time and effort spent.

...clothes or something completely different than what they normally sale. The last area is that of control. Companies have the final say so in their business. For example, I used to work at Best Buy and on black Friday we use to give tickets out because only a certain amount of people are allowed in the store at a time. Another way they control their employees is by making all of us wear their blue Best Buy shirt and khaki’s. Another area where Weber’s ideas can be found is in the school and how it’s run. The efficiency of a school could be measured by their standardized tests and the overall standards of curriculum that must be taught. Calculability can be found throughout the school by counting how many students you have to determining the count for who wants what for lunch. Predictability comes in to play because when you think of school you think of an institution of learning where your kids should feel safe. The final area of control comes in dealing with if the school has a dress...
