Writing about music/音楽を書いて (Part 2)

Hello!




How are you? Here is the third video to this piece of music I played for you in class - Jeff Beck's "The Final Peace." 

Here is the music again:




To learn more about Jeff Beck, click on this link here to a Wikipedia article in Japanese about him. 

Now here is the fourth video to this piece of music I played for you - Jason Moran's "Gentle Shifts South."

Here is the music again. There is a voice that comes over the music sometimes - sorry, I can't edit that out!:



To learn more about Jason Moran, click on this link here to a Wikipedia article about him. There is no article in Japanese about him, so the article is in English, and it's long - so you don't have to read the whole article! Only the beginning part about him, if you like. 

Does listening to this music again and knowing more about these musicians change what you wrote about the music? It might - but please do not change your stories!

Post a comment about what you learned, or what you think about these artists, in the comments section!

See you next time!
