Select one of the video-recorded live jazz performances to “attend” and review.
Write your paper as though you are “attending” a live jazz performance. But instead of describing only the
recorded venue, feel free to describe your experience “watching” the selected video-recorded live jazz
performance. Try to “join” the live audience as you watch, but also feel free to describe your experience,
wherever you are, watching remotely, because of these most extraordinary global circumstances.
We welcome your honest descriptions of your experience.
The Jazz Concert Review assignment should be approximately 500 – 600 words. The assignment can be
turned in as soon as you have completed it, and we recommend that you write your concert review shortly after
You have considerable liberty as to what you write about. Your paper, though, must address the following:
1) Your experience of attending the performance, which can serve as a “frame” for your review. The
performance venue, the people you see, the stage—describe these aspects of the experience that take place
before the concert itself. Convey to the reader distinctive characteristics of the performance venue and the
stage setting, as well as any details of your own personal viewing space that you would like to share.
2) The performance—the performers, the instruments, the music—this is the heart of what you are writing
about! Select the piece or pieces that most impressed you. Describe the performance and your response to the
music. Highlight individual performers, if that was one of the impressive aspects of the concert. Describe as
best you can what you hear and how it affects you.
3) Consider, too, whether you recognize any aspects of jazz or jazz style(s) in the music. Has our study thus far
allowed you to perceive aspects of the music that you might not have observed before studying? For example,
melody, harmony, rhythm, texture, timbre—blue notes, swing rhythms, syncopations, improvisation—are there
aspects of these musical elements that stand out for you that you can describe?
4) Finally, reflect on the value of “attending” a live performance of jazz at such a high level of artistry. Did you
enjoy the music? Has the experience changed you in any significant way? Offer a conclusion to your paper that
conveys your “take-away” from the experience.
One final suggestion: Write in your own “voice,” and be as expressive as you can. Make this an interesting and
enjoyable read! After the reader has read your concert review, if the reader wants to be there with you the next
time to share the experience, then you have done a superb job!
