Live Performance Review

Project description
Role: Imagine you are an arts reporter for the online section of a local news outlet (ex. News and Record, Yes Weekly). This should help you think about your audience as well as the voice you choose to use as you write.

Audience: Imagine your readers are residents of Greensboro/Triad (or wherever you attend the performance) with knowledge about music and jazz, but not the group you hear and/or possibly not the venue you attend

Format: Essay/article

Task: Your assignment is to attend a live jazz performance and compose an article to be published on the newspaper’s online arts page. Your article should be a positive review and should include the following:

date and time

venue – where – describe the scene

audience – who is in attendance

group – instrumentation, arrangement/setup/location in venue, names of the musicians or group name

performance – break down at least four tunes and include:

song title if possible

style and tempo

arrangement of melody chorus and overall tune

solos – description of each

possibly compare/contrast soloists’ styles

Remember, your goal is to describe the music in a way that puts the sound in the reader’s ear and makes them want to come out and hear the next performance.

Details: 3 full page minimum, 12 pt font, 1 inch margins

Reminder that song titles go in caps and quotations: “All the Things You Are”
