The Thrall in the Hall: Randall Goosby and Zhu Wang Violin and Piano Duo at Hahn Hall

Violinist Randall Goosby Though this was ostensibly Randall Goosby ’s show, the music making was a wonderfully integrated duo with pianist Zhu Wang, These two fine young musicians shared the virtuosic duties that the music in this concert demands. Both are clearly hard working and dedicated artists. Both have technical and interpretive prowess. And they clearly embody a mutual respect for each…

Seems like everyday we’re losing another legend. 💔 RIP to the incomparable icon Roy Ayers. Roy Ayer’s was a true master & god of his craft, a man that wore many hats. He was a funk/soul/jazz composer, vibraphone player, music producer, pioneer, visionary, innovator & icon. Not only did he pioneer jazz-funk, but he has been dubbed 'The Godfather of Neo Soul' — in other words, where would your favorite artist be without Roy Ayers legacy. He’s best known for the tune that I know you all are familiar with 'Everybody Loves the Sunshine' , ‘Searchin' & 'Running Away’. At one time, he was even said to have had more sampled hits by rappers than any other artist. Rest in Peace & Power Roy. Thanks to you, music has been forever changed & your legacy will never die.

Not Just Another Black Composer Compilation: Kellen Gray Revives Neglected American Masterpieces

LINN CKD 731 For the humble listener, a musician’s technical and interpretive performance skills are one of the most compelling reasons to buy a concert ticket or a recording of said musician. But your humble reviewer has another, perhaps equally important reason for investing time and money in the work of a musician. And that skill is what I like to call “musical radar”. It is the (sometimes…

"Officially, Vinsmoke Ichiji and Sanji died at sea, when they escaped from Germa. But there are two young boys at the Baratie, a sea-faring restaurant in the East Blue. They are Red Leg Zeff's sons.

The twin stars of the Baratie.

...although the cooks calls them "ketchup and mustard" to mess with them."

i was in a mood to draw both Ichiji and Sanji growing at the Baratie. Ichiji took on a waiter role since the waitstaff kept running away and someone has to do it.

don't get me wrong, Ichiji can cook and stuff. but that isn't his passion, he dreams of becoming a writer and write great tales about the Grand Line.

also Zeff was the one who told him that an author's hands just as important as they are for a cook. in short, Ichiji and Sanji balances each other (hot-tempered vs. cool-tempered, the sun and the moon, etc.)

another details that gives me feelings; Ichiji and Sanji both resemble their mama Sora and has her eyes

Edward Kennedy “Duke” Ellington (1899-?) was an American jazz composer, pianist, and bandleader who left a lasting impact on music and American culture. His recordings remain popular examples of big-band jazz. Ellington was an instrumental composer, and many of his songs were originally written as instrumentals. He was known for pushing the boundaries of jazz and classical music. His piece “Creole Rhapsody” was inspired by the struggles of African-Americans.
