Yesterday we went to see a jazz group called GOTHAM JAZZMEN. The style of music they played was New Orleans Jazz. It was 6 people in they group and the instruments that were played were the Drums,Piano,Cornet,Clarinet,String Bass, & Trombone. I was a little confused when i noticed the drummer didn’t have a full drum set up. I later found out that he did that purposely so he wouldn’t drown out the other instruments. They played about 10 songs but my favorite was called Rosetta. Something I found interesting was that the singer was imitating Louis Armstrong, he surprisingly sounded almost exactly like him.

At the end of the performance i was shocked because i didn’t expect those older people to be able to play that well and as long as they did, especially when they did their solo’s.
