All ..dat..JAZZ

When I was in U.S.A, I took Jazz class. I learned haw to play Jazz, Jazz theory and Jazz history from great trumpeter Mrs. Shellhammer. She and I were only girls in this class. All students in this class were trumpeter and worshiping Mrs.Shellhammmer. Some of them were intend to learn Jazz in the college. This class was the hardest but the most interesting class.

Do you see how much I worked hard for this class??It was great opportunity for me to learn Jazz. I have liked Jazz but didn't know about it. To know the structure of Jazz, or its history is good to understand American music.

These are textbooks we used in class. I still play musics from these book for fun.

I bought this sticker When I went to Blue Note in N.Y. All of Jazz class member went to Blue Note together as a part of field trip. We watched Chick Corea's Electric Band show. When i ordered drink at this club, the servant brought different drik.They apologize to me and gave me special desssert. It was a special night.





Chick Corea Electric band is very free style Jazz,morden.

He is Jazz singer and flugelhorn player named TOKU. He is a Japanese. I am crazy about him now. His voice and tone of flugelhorn is nothing more sexy. I couldn't find his movie on youtube,sad...Please buy his CDs if you were interested in Jazz. He often play Jazz club in Tokyo such as Body&Soul and Blue Note Tokyo. I am going to watch his show next year to celebrate my 20th birthday. I can't wait to see him.
