Jazz: Music Lacking Structure?

This entry was posted in Uncategorized on by .

I agree with all the other posts about how refreshing and enjoyable it was to listen to more familiar music this week! I thought the time would never come that we would talk about a song that I already knew but that time has finally come! It’s especially nice after a few classes about atonal music (which , as I mentioned in class, I don’t really find “pleasant”). However, jazz is pretty much a 180 degree turn from atonal music for me. It’s familiar, fun, and extremely pleasant to listen to!

That being said, I found it extremely hard to notice patterns in the music like the ones we’ve been trying to learn about in class. This music is very different in a lot of ways than any of the other music we have been learning about in class. For example, with a sonata form, you always know exactly what you’re going to get next, but with jazz I feel like you never can really know. Jazz based a lot in improvisation and riffing and I think that makes it feel much more difficult to talk about academically  than other things we’ve been listening to. To me, it seems that jazz lacks the structure that the other music we’ve talked about throughout the semester has had and therefore I’m not really sure how to talk about it in the way we’ve talked about the other music this semester.

    This content helped clarify my confusion about platform security. I recently bookmarked a guide on New Platform features update detailing safe site features like clear payout logs and active support. statista provided a fraud alert dashboard I check weekly now. Both line up with what you shared here.

    I largely agree with the author that jazz is music without structure. Perhaps this is due to the fact that jazz appeared as a result of the synthesis of two musical cultures, European and African. Therefore, the combination of African rhythms and intonations with European harmony makes this music so unusual. My father loved jazz. He told me how, while working as a manager in a reputable exhibition stands building company CARSHE https://carshe.com/ru/ he first went abroad in 1993 from post-Soviet Kyiv. They were building the Ukrainian exhibition at the international Trade Show in Hannover Messe. And after completing the project, they went to a concert of the then famous jazz performer Ken Vandermark. His admiration knew no bounds, the man had escaped from post-Soviet Ukraine to Europe for the first time and even attended a live jazz concert – these were probably very vivid impressions.
