Jazz
Jazz is a music genre that originated in the African-American communities of New Orleans, Louisiana in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, with its roots in blues and ragtime. Since the 1920s Jazz Age, it has been recognized as a major form of musical expression in traditional and popular music. Jazz is characterized by swing and blue notes, complex chords, call and response vocals, polyrhythms and improvisation. Jazz has roots in European harmony and African rhythmic rituals. As jazz spread around the world, it drew on national, regional, and local musical cultures, which gave rise to different styles. New Orleans jazz began in the early 1910s, combining earlier brass band marches, French quadrilles, biguine, ragtime and blues with collective polyphonic improvisation. But jazz did not begin as a single musical tradition in New Orleans or elsewhere. In the 1930s, arranged dance-oriented swing big bands, Kansas City jazz (a hard-swinging, bluesy, improvisationa ...

World Of Thought
''World Of Thought'' is an album by Marzio Scholten which was released on October 1, 2010 on O.A.P. Records. Guitarist Anton Goudsmit wrote the liner notes for 'World Of Thought': "Marzio Scholten gives the Netherlands claim to yet another masterful Jazz guitarist. His wonderful band - the powerful and perfectly intonated double bass of Stefan Lievestro, the subtle and driven playing of pianist Randal Corsen, the deep touch of drummer Bob Roos and the brilliant guest performances by trumpet player Ambrose Akinmusire and tenor saxophonist Yaniv Nachum - performs Marzio's mature music inspiringly, doing right to the lyrical and clearly phrased guitar playing of this great talent. The pieces on this album, all composed by the master himself, vary in approach and are related, soundwise, to New York City's modern jazz scene. Marzio's guitar playing is honest, graceful and very recognizable. Enjoy!" All About Jazz published an excellent review and selected ‘World Of Thought’ as ...

Seagram Murals
The Seagram murals are a series of paintings by Mark Rothko, his first to experiment with a dark palette. The paintings were originally commissioned for The Four Seasons Restaurant in New York City's Seagram Building. Rothko intended for the dark paintings to sicken the restaurant's patrons. After visiting the restaurant where his paintings were to hang, he canceled and returned his first commission. The paintings were stored and later donated some to the Tate. Rothko made 30 in the series in his lifetime. The paintings have been the subject of two documentaries and a play, ''Red'', by John Logan. The paintings were defaced while hanging in the Tate Modern in 2012, for which a man received a two-year prison sentence.

Tenor Saxophone
The tenor saxophone is a medium-sized member of the saxophone family, a group of instruments invented by Adolphe Sax in the 1840s. The tenor and the alto are the two most commonly used saxophones. The tenor is pitched in the key of B (while the alto is pitched in the key of E), and written as a transposing instrument in the treble clef, sounding an octave and a major second lower than the written pitch. Modern tenor saxophones which have a high F key have a range from A2 to E5 (concert) and are therefore pitched one octave below the soprano saxophone. People who play the tenor saxophone are known as "tenor saxophonists", "tenor sax players", or "saxophonists". The tenor saxophone uses a larger mouthpiece, reed and ligature than the alto and soprano saxophones. Visually, it is easily distinguished by the curve in its neck, or its crook, near the mouthpiece. The alto saxophone lacks this and its neck goes straight to the mouthpiece. The tenor saxophone is most recognized for it ...
