Florence moved to Chicago where she became a member of the "Panama Trio" alongside Bricktop and Cora Green. They played at the Panama Café along with jazz notables Alberta Hunter, Glover Compton, and Mezz Mezzrow. Another admirer of the trio was the legendary Bill "Bojangles" Robinson, who gave personal tap lessons to Florence. About one year later, the Panama Café was shut down by the police due to a shooting scandal. The trio played on at other local venues for a short time until they broke
There was once a trio that loved their lives. They had an incredible existence. Don’t get me wrong, they were no trio of friends, but in fact just a trio of animals living in a lavish house. They couldn’t even stand to look at each other. However, this was going to change all too soon. The first animal I would like to introduce to you is a cat named Cat. Cat is a gray British Shorthair cat with a sunrise kind of yellow eyes. Next there is a dog named dog. Dog is a Dalmatian with eyes that have the
Bright lights, cameras, and thousands of people surrounded us, well, maybe not. One spotlight rested on the dirty cafeteria floor with a couple rows of people. Whoops! I meant parents. My brother, our friend Alex, and I stood on the tiny stage with our lustrous instruments. The crowd began clapping, and I ran like the wind off the stage. While I stood backstage with my hands shaking, I realized that my brother had led me through thick and thin. He always led me to the light at the end of every tunnel
“A dog will teach you unconditional love. If you can have that in your life, things won’t be too bad” (Robert Wagner). A dog is constant during every important season in your life. Whether it is going into highschool, your sweet sixteen, advancing to college, or your first move. The 2014 Chevy Commercial can speak towards anyone whose background consists of having a dog they were attached to. Many people are able to relate to the commercial because they may have had dogs with them during the same
Petyr Baelish, Lord Baelish, Little Finger, The Master of Coin; he goes by many names, which in a way adds to his ambiguity. Not only is he ambiguous, but he embodies all of Joseph Campbell’s characteristics of a trickster. Petyr Baelish is a good ally to have because he is so sly, but one must remember he always has a trick up his sleeve and could turn into a foe at any second, if that is what is in his best interest. Petyr Baelish is almost always playing a trick on someone. One of his tricks was
Paragraph one. Ah yes let's talk about Macbeth and King Ahab. Now I know that many don't know who King Ahab was but who really needs to know who he was when MACBETH WAS 100% COPYRIGHTED FROM HIS LIFE. So if you know Macbeth, you know King Ahab. Macbeth was from the Shakespeare play Macbeth, where he killed people for his power. King Ahab was a King in Israel from 871-852 B.C. who was viewed as their most evil king. Although Macbeth is just a character from a play, his life follows the life of King

MSN – The magic, surrealism and niftiness of the famous trio from Barcelona. “Just 14 months after their first match together, the Barcelona front three are already making the football world carefully consider if any other attack throughout the ages could trump them. What remains crystal clear is that they are head and shoulders above all other attacking combinations in the game at present. The deadly trio do as they please, whenever they feel like it.” – Marca Yes, this November quote from the
A couple torn apart, a golden hero trio, a lovable droid, and a masked villain, these are all themes and characters that are very present in the original Star Wars movies and that, through some wonderful casting and directing choices, J.J Abrams revived in Star Wars: The Force Awakens. The amount of wonderful nostalgic details in this new film will take both old and young Star Wars fans alike back to when they first saw a Star Wars film. Carrie Fisher and Harrison Ford return in The Force Awakens
On November 13, 2016, I went with a group of people to the Calvary United Methodist Church in West Philadelphia to see a Trio Da Kali concert. After the concert, to continue the African theme we all went and ate Ethiopian food. It was much different from what I expected, but way too spicy for me. Although that does not impact my research, I thought it was interesting how much different a culture can be in music, and food, despite the countries only being separated by an ocean. Summary of Field Notes
The same concept can be applied to musical pieces. A great musical work would not be complete without the original combinations of musical instruments, voices, lyrics, and meaning. Two examples of this idea are “Classical Gas” by California Guitar Trio and “Cat’s in the Cradle” by Harry Chapin. In reference to music we can indentify specific aspects of pitch, including harmony and melody. Harmony refers to the relationship of sounds that happen simultaneously while melody refers to the relationship
How have I used TRiO SSP services to pursue my academic, personal, and professional goals? What have I learned from these experiences? My academic goal is to graduate from Western Michigan University and go on to graduate school to get a master’s in social work. TRiO has helped me with this through regular advising appointments and steering me in the right direction. TRiO makes sure I am in contact with the advisor of my Major as well. They make me think about what classes I am taking and make sure
The three thematic areas, as well as the transitory interlude by the trio, are interesting twists added by Haydn. It is important to note that the exposition stays in C major the entire time, the only exception being the short C minor section in the first trio interlude. In a standard sonata form, a modulation to the dominant would be expected during the exposition. But in this opening, every major section except
Nat "King" Cole Music is a universal language, a language that many can speak; however, one that only few can master. One of those masters was Nat "King" Cole. A true legend, Nat not only could carry a song with his voice, but also through his incredible skills with the piano. Today, Nat is most remembered for that soft, soothing and so powerful voice; however he is recognized as one of the greatest jazz pianists of all-time. The man today known as Nat "King" Cole was actually
his Kegelstatt Trio for Clarinet, Piano, and Viola K. 498, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart hints at various styles and topics, such as sensibility and sturm und drang, overall creating an intimate vivid experience for both the performers and the listeners. Before this trio was composed, the combination of clarinet, viola, and piano was unheard of. Classical piano trios at this time primarily included a high melodic instrument, as well as a bass instrument; the common violin cello piano trio for example.
improvisation using chords with his left hand. (jazzpianoconcepts.com) He showcases his style of improvising graceful solo in his piece “Peace Piece”. Bill Evans recorded most of his work in a group. One of his well-known trio is one with Scott LaFaro and Paul Motian. During his trio, Bill Evans showcased his ability to essentially communicating with the bass and drums with his leaner playing style. (Hopkins Lesson 10) Of course, some of it can be attributed to LaFaro’s and Motian’s mastery on their
more in depth as he got into college and later came to be called the “Chopin of the modern jazz piano” (Tirro 1993). He developed his own distinctive musical style while working as a sideman with Miles Davis, and working as a bandleader of three trios. Later on, he received seven Grammy awards for his recordings and was even posthumously granted a Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award in 1994. This paper will examine few of his influential techniques and works as well as their impact on the structure
Andras Nemeth The Ukrainian dancers performed a modern-day Hopak where the choreographed dance is made to appear improvised. The improvised parts of Hopak involve solos, duets, trios dancers, performing visually and technically amazing acrobatic feats. These includes spins and jumps. The rest of Hopak includes many movements performed in unison. A successful Hopak requires speed and energy, the dancers, do not stop moving until the end of the dance. I enjoyed having Andras in class and he should
On Stage at the MAT performed at Booker T. Washington High School for the Performing and Visual Art was a wonderful way to start the new Spring Signature Series. This performance showcased the dance cluster’s students through open works and pieces choreographed for the specific ensembles.

This year’s production of Onstage at the MAT was memorable because of the difference of quality the dancers
