To start off with, I want to do something a little different. I want to focus more on music this week. Specifically Jazz artists, which in today's desensitized society, aren't given enough credit.
1) I would really like to trace and discuss the music of artist Miles Davis. From his Kind of Blue music period all the way to his "Bitches Brew" album, Miles Davis has redefined music in his own image and has really shaped the American Jazz culture. Combining jazz rhythms with funk riffs he embodies all of what music can be and goes above and beyond what anyone has ever expected.
2)Charlie Parker. This is a man whose jazz saxophone skills revolutionized an entire nation. Through him, the form of bebop jazz sax was creating. Inventing a common style which is still heavily used by modern saxophone players today. He sold out concerts during the swinger era of the 1930's his amazing performances stood as a testament to his skills with a sax. Like Miles Davis, Charlie Parker started a music revolution.
3)Louis Armstrong was a man who, like the two I've already discussed about briefly changed the way people view music. From his well known interpretation of "What a Wonderful World" to many of today's jazz standards, Louis has stamped his image into the music hall of fame, so to speak. His rustic voice combined with his impressive musical skills with a trumpet. His New Orleans style of music has transcended music history and his style, is an almost forgotten form of music. Louis Armstrong.
I like how you kept a theme with your short list... just saying.
