JAZZ

Being raised around and listening to jazz music, to here the songs in class it all started to come back to me. I have listened to jazz since I was a small child. My mother is a very big jazz fan, I can remember spring cleaning with the windows open we would listen to jazz music all day. To this day when I am around my mother we still listen to jazz.

I was raised listening to this type of music, yet I did not understand fully what a challenge it is and the talent one must have to produce this music and sound. I also was in the dark about many of the preformances here in San Antonio that actually display this music many nights of the week. Many of the places I eat and spend some of my free time I have found offer these preformances on specific nights. Though I am not able to attend these preformances I was able to tune into a jazz station on the radio that furthered my knowledge of jazz music. I most enjoy the soothing sound and the many instuments that make up each jazz song.

All the knowledge I already had about jazz combined with what I have learned in class and on the jazz stations have made me a much more rounded jazz fan. I can honestly say I have learned a great deal and have a better understanding for this music that now enjoy. After learning about this music and listening to it on a daily basis I believe I will be listening to it more often then I imagined. I have come to really enjoy this music and I plan on listening to it more in the future.
