when it comes to the actual big day ! wayne and son sam consistently work together in a team of two to deliver the best quality of works ! we see your wedding day in our eyes in an artistic form .
sure photos could capture quite a bit throughout the entire wedding , but a wedding videography is meant to capture the sound and movement as well . a wedding video will allow you to hear the little sounds your significant other does out of enjoyment plus the laughter of your friends . you will watch you first dance as well as see the first kiss as newlyweds . photos are a good tool , but they cannot capture the moments so precisely nor allow the viewer to relive the atmosphere on such a deep level . the wedding videographer is a professional who knows which angle to use at any time and be able to capture every possible moment and even the simplest of “events” .

what is essentially good about professional wedding videographers is that they not only capture the raw moments during your wedding day but also take the time to put in an edited movie version filled with pure emotions with an appropriate music background which allows for the story to naturally develop , it will make you laugh , it will make you cry and it will be the closest thing you get to reliving the magical day .
i love me some hallmark sunday afternoon movies . however , i have put this movie on on probably 6 separate occasions ( it reruns a lot ) and every time i lose interest before the halfway mark - - because absolutely nothing happens in this movie . there is no conflict , no obstacle to overcome . except that they just have to finally get around to saying that they still love each other . the acting is probably fine . the actors are quite pretty . but it ' s like having to listen to your best friend , every single time you see her , talk about how she ' s not sure if she should move in with her totally fine but not fantastic boyfriend boyfriend . you just don ' t care that much , and it just doesn ' t matter . arghhh i want my two hours back !
i admit i’m something of a “batman & robin” apologist , having worshipped poison ivy’s slithery eccentricities as an 8 - year - old . today , i see it as an admirably atrocious time capsule , from mr . freeze’s puns ( ”the ice man cometh ! ” ) to the dynamic duo’s skates . now that comic books rule hollywood , a superhero train collision this singular must be treasured , rubber nipples and all .
“i feel like i could do a much better batgirl now than i did then . it would be fun to tackle it again . because i’m older and my acting is better . i know i would bring so much more to it . . . . that costume was so uncomfortable . maybe something more comfortable would be nice . something you can sit in . something you can get out of to pee . ”” ( 2017 )

while , as an african american i have some sympathy for payton’s views , i have the same reservations about his conclusions as i do sandke’s views . payton suggests that black jazz musicians cannot change the status quo of their current stature if they call their music jazz . payton also ignores or diminishes the fact that , as i stated earlier , everyone in the jazz infrastructure acknowledges blacks as the creators of jazz . yes , jazz artists are hampered by market - driven definitions , but that is nothing special to them . every musician regardless of genre complains about this .

neat essay . the reank and file afro - americans were not strong jazz fans . the church - going population did not favor it . from the first it was white audiences that supported jazz , first as audiences and then as record buyers . so naturally jazz evolved in response to the audience . billy holiday was a great artist but her records show her recognition of the marketplace .

“sandke’s views are ironic , because many black jazz musicians and writers complain that african americans—who , according to the 2010 census , are 12 % of the population—do not frequent jazz venues in sizable numbers . ” for your next fine essay , could you try to explain why that is ?
so no question jazz flowered in new orleans but new orleans was not the same as the racist / fascist communities in the deep south such as birmingham , shreveport , or columbia sc . it was a multicultural mixed racial community . so as you say , jazz has a black core but is a delightful mishmash . i can understand but do not feel that is healthy that jazz has become a racist symbol for many blacks .
more great prizes with signed rifles vinyl and cds from rob bailey plus another pair of modfest vip tickets for modcast / acid jazz curated room .
fortunately , jazz is a cultural sponge – in spite of the cultural elitism ( sincere or insincere ) and ignorance of some of its practitioners .
unlike our other evening cruises , dinner is not included in the price on the prague jazz boat . instead , choose from a selection of hot and cold meals on the night , which will be served to your table by your waiter . it is not obligatory to eat , you can just order drinks .

european classical music , especially 20th century music and the european immigration to america ( jewish / broadway composers especially ) gave jazz the harmonic , emotional and melodic vehicles that made it relevant . without it , jazz would have been well on its way to becoming a mundane cliche of blues licks and predictable rhythmic and harmonic structures .

show boat is still first and foremost entertainment , of course ; it ' s spectacle , with joyous dancing , aching romance and the pathos of love found , lost , and found again .

one problem with exclusionary practices or beliefs based on race is they cause blowback and increase divisiveness . i do not believe said practices or beliefs represent what jazz is all about in any way whatsoever . in fact , jazz is completely the opposite . jazz is about blending different cultural styles . i do not support payton’s bam labeling just as i would not support the idea of changing the name of baseball to “white ball game . ” payton’s attitude that he’s not disenfranchising white’s with his labeling just doesn’t look at this kind of labeling for what it is—which quite simply is an exclusionary practice . it also fails to distinguish jazz from other primarily african american generated musical idioms such as r & b , soul / gospel and hip - hop .
today , the themes of show boat are more painful than shocking for a modern audience . but then history is painful ; the actions and attitudes dramatized in this american classic remain part of our national genetic code .
i think , with all due respect , sandke overdramatizes the plight of the white jazz musician . yes , the young lions phenomenon was overwhelmingly black and young , and sandke is partially right about the market - driven motives of record executives who wanted to hype black musicians to an extent , but their actions pale in comparison to how whites have promoted musicians of a paler shade for centuries . in the end , there is a big difference between the jazz intelligentsia’s attempt to right an historical wrong and the willful promotion of a reverse apartheid for white musicians . sandke’s views are ironic , because many black jazz musicians and writers complain that african americans—who , according to the 2010 census , are 12 % of the population—do not frequent jazz venues in sizable numbers .

“having once been in the vanguard , jazz has fallen prey to the same racial divisions that have plagued the rest of american society , ” sandke writes . “the overwhelming racialization of jazz has not only denied outside musical influences , stifled creativity , and pitted group against group : it has also overlooked the crucial role that white audiences and presenters have played in disseminating and promoting the music . ”

todd decker has published four books on commercial popular music in the united states from the 1920s to the present ( broadway , hollywood film and television , the recorded music industry , jazz before 1970 ) .
i believe the wisest and most humble among us are those who conclude that jazz was created out of a co - mingling of various cultural influences during a unique and special time within the maturation of america .
there are enough examples of this in jazz history . paul whiteman was the king of jazz . benny goodman was the king of swing . duke ellington knocked on dave brubeck’s hotel door , to show the white pianist that he made the cover of time magazine in 1954 before he did . ( brubeck , for the record , was hurt and embarrassed . ) then there was the 1965 pulitzer prize snub of ellington . in the ’70s , president carter presented jazz on the white house lawn , with dizzy gillespie and stan getz as featured artists . president carter asked getz about how bebop was created , with gillespie standing right there .
it was a meaning that was all too apparent to the first audience that saw show boat in 1927 . those patrons sat in stunned silence when the final curtain came down ; only after a moment or two did they begin to applaud .
slowly but surely , my perceptions about jazz and race began to evolve and change . as my jazz historical studies deepened , i learned that music is a cultural , not a racial phenomenon . black americans at the turn of the 20th century created jazz by combining elements of european classical instruments , harmonies , and song forms with african , afro - caribbean , and american rhythms and melodic structures . as ralph ellison noted , “blood and skin don’t think . ” or to put it a different way : jazz didn’t come into existence because black people were simply black . its creation was the result of history , geography , social conditions , and , most importantly , the will to create something of artistic human value . to believe anything else plummets us into the foul abyss of pseudo - racist demagoguery that still plagues us on so many levels today .
it is possible to order a taxi transport to / from boat departing pier to hotel . we charge czk 300 for a party of 1 - 4 people ( one way ) , and 400 czk for a party of 5 - 8 people .
it was bill evans’s love of , and application of , european classical styles , approaches , and motifs into jazz that was so attractive to my ears , as evidenced by the azure impressionism of “blue in green” on kind of blue , the intoxicating melodicism of “israel” from explorations , the lyrical logic of “peace piece” from portraits in jazz , and the chamber timbre of “time remembered” from the 1966 album bill evans trio with symphony orchestra .
thank you for some thoughtful time in the middle of an ike quebec and little jimmy scott afternoon while searching for swedish jazz . i am getting ready to walk through a different musical door as i move to sweden .
“the place was amazing even i don ' t want to leave the top of the boat where you can see the secret of nature , the scene of prague castle and breath a fresh air , really i hope to book this property again . ”
i remember on my jazz undergrad , we had a new york trumpet player / singer visit for a workshop . he was a polished performer to be sure , but he had some pretty… abrasive , shall we say , views on who “should” be playing jazz , or rather who can really pull it off . definitely seemed like he was in with the marsalis crowd . it elicited a certain amount of derision from a number of my lecturers .
' show boat ' steams on , eternally american a revival of the hammerstein - kern classic showcases once again the rich tapestry and timeless themes of an american saga that changed the course of musical theater — and confronted audiences with painful truths about our history .
if anything , jazz at the beginning of the 21st century is appropriately black , brown , and beige ; with every global musical / cultural ingredient embellishing , extending , and enriching it . this is a good thing . more importantly , youth around the world—white youth included—want to play it , despite the fact that in the united states you barely see jazz on tv , radio stations that play it are shrinking , and print coverage of it is dwindling .
the guide is not included in the price but can be arrange at extra cost . this option is recommended if you wish to make your cruise even more enjoyable , as a tour guide will explain interesting facts about the sights you will see from the boat .
show boat was the first great serious broadway musical . jerome kern and oscar hammerstein ii , who wrote the songs , and florenz ziegfeld jr . , who produced it , departed from typical musical comedy material , with its chorus lines and songs showcasing star performers .
daring as the racial issues in show boat were , its glory has always been its music , and my only major regret about this film — one of the most important movie musicals ever made — is that it doesn ' t include more of the score .

this subject has become profoundly boring…i’m tired of it . “jazz” came through black people . it is the musical and cultural response of african people to european colonization . that said it came through black people but no longer belongs to black people . it belongs to the world . everyone has contributed to it . forget white people…everyone . just like islam came thru arabs but doesn’t belong to them and hasn’t belonged to them for a millennium . so “jazz” came thru black folks but doesn’t belong to us anymore . btw i agree with payton . i have no emotional or sentimental connection with the word “jazz” . i don’t care about it . musical categories exist for the convenience of promoters and pr people… . not the musicians
the interior of the boat is heated in the winter and air - conditioned in summer . you can choose to dine at the table reserved for you inside or move to another up on the sun deck . this is a river cruise for all seasons and weather conditions .
i think the racial profiling historical arguments get tired pretty fast when one allows oneself to ponder questions such as : could jazz have been developed in africa without any ‘white / western’ musical influences ? why didn’t jazz originate first from south africa or other areas where whites and blacks co - mingled ? what was special about the mississippi delta co - mingling of various cultural backgrounds which sparked the creation of jazz ? even amidst a segregated , oppressive and divisive culture , what glimmer of hope for a free - and - equal society came out of the civil war ( and specifically the emancipation declaration ) which led to the creation of an art form which clearly blended different cultural styles ? i think an honest reckoning of issues behind many of these questions supports the “american cultural phenomenon” argument and frames the analysis from a cultural vs a racial perspective . to me , that seems to be a represent a more accurate historical approach to the narrative on the evolution of jazz .
next , jazz as played by black artists who grew up in the deep south sound differently than those from northern solid middle class backgrounds like miles davis . similarly white musicians from , say , new orleans , sound different than bix beiderbeck .
it ' s been more than eight decades since show boat - - the seminal masterpiece of the american musical theater — premiered on a stage in washington , d . c . now the sprawling classic is back , in a lush production put on by the washington national opera .
take in the most beautiful sights in prague on this 2 . 5 - hour cruise on the vltava river . listen to quality jazz while drifting through the center of prague , and indulge in authentic czech cuisine with an optional 3 - course meal . you ' ll be welcomed onto the boat with a drink as you relax into the party atmosphere . after boarding , the concert begins . there are 3 sets of music performing a variation of jazz styles , with 2 breaks . alongside the music , there is also a sightseeing tour included as you pass through the center of this historical city . this is the most relaxing and unique way to tour prague . please note that due to limited capacity , you may be seated with other participants outside of your party .
so what does my former bill evans problem say about jazz and race today ? for one thing , it is firmly and correctly established in music education , and in society in general , that jazz is an african - american art form : blacks have gotten their due as the art form’s primary creators . no credible critic , musician , or music curriculum would state otherwise . at the same time , it is equally true that white musicians have made and continue to make great contributions to jazz . while the role evans and other whites have played should not be exaggerated to move the music’s black known and unknown bards to the back of the bus , giving caucasians appropriate acknowledgment does not threaten the african - american creation of the music .
the jazz boat welcomes guests every evening . it is moored under the cechův bridge , at the end of the very chic avenue pařížská ( paris avenue ) . get on board and enjoy a night cruise while admiring some of prague’s most amazing sights , which display an almost surreal beauty at night time . from charles bridge to prague’s castle via the malá strana district , the national theater and its golden roof or the fortress of vyšehrad . . . all these sites will reveal their charm in the coziness and peacefulness of an evening .

we really loved everything , the location , easy walking distance to everything , very fun being on the river , the breakfast was delicious , staff friendly and accommodating , we enjoyed a beautiful sunset on the top deck of the boat . the beds we ' re comfortable . very fun experience .

broadway had never seen anything like it when show boat arrived at the ziegfeld theatre in 1927 . the score was unforgettable and the story tackled complex racial issues . there have been three movie versions , but the best one — james whale ' s 1936 production — has only just been released on dvd .

so it was in that hot - house atmosphere of well - meaning—but ultimately immature and xenophobic attitudes about music and race—that my bill evans problem existed . the problem manifested itself in many ways . i would often hide bill evans albums when talking about jazz musicians with fellow black jazz fans for fear of being “outed” as a sellout , given a look of disapproval , or asked , “why are you listening to that white boy ? ” the fact that evans was lauded by white critics because he was white and his classical pedigree didn’t help .
brad mehldau earlier this month , mr . mehldau , the standard - bearing modern jazz pianist , released “nearness , ” an album that ratified his longtime bond with the saxophonist joshua redman . for the first of his two concerts in jazz at lincoln center’s main hall , mr . mehldau re - enlists mr . redman for a similar menu of introspective duos ; the second night will be solo piano , the format in which mr . mehldau’s gift finds its most extravagant outlet . sept . 30 - oct . 1 . rose theater .

based on edna ferber ' s epic best - selling novel , show boat was nothing like the frothy musicals and scantily clad broadway revues of its time . sure , the story is about a traveling showboat that plays to audiences along the mississippi river , but the plot focuses on serious subjects : racial injustice , alcoholism , abandonment .

yo eugene , tough stand you took , and well done . i just think that jazz today is black , brown , beige…and white . and really has been all along , given the influence of european song forms and harmonies . clearly , the african - american gift of field hollers , the blues , and gospel gave jazz its unique sound , but that sound was often employed on top of songs created by european immigrants ; gershwin’s “i got rhythm” is just one example . and let’s not forget that louis armstrong was influenced by the music he heard while living in a jewish household and that frankie trumbauer was lester young’s primary model . so to call jazz solely an african - american creation misses the mark , but it is obviously primarily so . i mean , almost all my heroes are blacks , and i’m white . again , well done ; took some guts to say it , and glad you did .
dee dee bridgewater the capacity to dazzle is something that dee dee bridgewater , more than any other jazz singer of our time , has fashioned into a work ethic . she’ll touch on a century of song in the season opener for singers over manhattan , the jazz at lincoln center concert series . on sept . 23 , her purview runs roughly from the 1920s to the ’50s , and she’ll be joined by the young vocal dynamos brianna thomas and vuyo sotashe . on sept . 24 , she’ll pick up at midcentury , with help from the vocalists theo bleckmann and alicia olatuja . appel room . sept . 23 - 24 .

that’s silly . musicians use generic labels all the time to help them navigate , understand and play different musics . labels have been useful to musicians long before jazz . willful ignorance of them is as foolish as ignoring the accent of the person you’re speaking to and any useful information that may convey . it’s no different than the conceit of “i don’t see race” . it’s hollow posturing no one believes . “it’s not jazz , it’s _ _ _ _ ” is utter nonsense . the hubris needed to relabel a hundred year old musical genre is extraordinary . i’ll bet a guy like that is a pretty good musician but surely a lousy linguist and myopic cultural commentator .

“it was a great spot right in the middle of prague , with a splendid view upon the hrad / castle by night and by day . if you love to stay near the water , it is a perfect accommodation , possibly better on the side of the boat with a view upon the river . breakfast was lavish , personnel smart , rooms tidy . a great location ! ”

eugene , couple of other thoughts . how about jazz as an african - american synthesis , following the buddhist idea of dependent - arising , how all things are made up of a variety of parts , all dependent on the others for the appearance of the whole ? creation is such a strong word ; at least it is to me .
are the boats heated or air - conditioned ? all river cruises are done on comfortable , well - maintained boats that are air - conditioned in summer and well heated in winter . you can also choose where to sit depending on the weather ( in the winter you might prefer sit on deck and in the winter inside the boat ) so taking a cruise is nice regardless of the weather .
jazz 100 : the music of dizzy , ella , mongo & monk the title of the concert — presented by jazz at lincoln center , which rarely lets a good centennial go to waste — tells you much of what you need to know . but this tribute to the trumpeter dizzy gillespie , the singer ella fitzgerald , the percussionist mongo santamaría and the pianist thelonious monk is also notable for the present - day personnel . besides the pianist danilo pérez , serving as musical director , it includes the saxophonist chris potter ; the trumpeter avishai cohen ; the trombonist wycliffe gordon ; and the singer ledisi . rose theater , frederick p . rose hall , urltoken . oct . 14 - 15 .

the thing i’d like to add from a musician’s perspective is that while many jazz musicians ( both black and white ) feel that they are being discriminated against based on race , it’s a pretty small percent of the b . s . that we all endure as creative artists . it certainly happens , but is more likely a “marketing” decision based on money and numbers .
there are no u . s . laws against interracial marriage anymore ; they were struck down in 1967 by the supreme court ' s decision in loving vs . virginia . but as show boat plays at the kennedy center this month , the court — just a couple of miles away — is considering questions of same - sex marriage , affirmative action and voting rights , while congress focuses on how we as a nation treat immigrants .
show boat : performing race in an american musical ( oxford university press , 2013 ) was recognized as an honorable mention for the woody guthrie award for outstanding book on popular music by the international association for the study of popular music–us . the book uses extensive archival research to consider how performers—both black and white—shaped this landmark work in its original 1927 broadway version and in subsequent versions produced in new york , london , and hollywood .
the creation of jazz exemplifies the melting pot that is america . it was born out of cultural phenomenon where americans of african descent took the music of the day ( marches , fox - trots , songs , etc ) and started ragging them up and adding a unique flavor that could have only been achieved via a blend of various cultures at that place and time in history .

it’s interesting to consider the effect that media ( tv in particular ) would have on this issue . i often wonder how the great jazz artists of the golden age would have been perceived if there was a visual outlet such as ‘mtv’ etc . would it have changed the perception of the miles’ quintet in the 50’s – where everybody can now see a white musician in the band ?
who should sing “ol’ man river” ? : the lives of an american song ( oxford university press , 2015 ) traces the performance history of this very well - known song across eight decades and a wide array of genres—jazz to rock , opera to gospel , doo wop to reggae—with an ear to how the history of race relations in the us has played out in the realm of popular music .

show boat made musical - theater history , pioneering the merging of music and plot , integrating them for the first time to provide a seamless transition from scene to song . lyricist oscar hammerstein ii , just 31 years old , worked closely with composer jerome kern to replicate ferber ' s sweeping narrative . in a 1958 interview released on vinyl by mgm records , he explained how he used the mississippi itself as the thread that would hold all the plot elements together .
well written , sir . bill evans is one of my favorite jazz pianists , and , as a white guy , sometimes when i’m talking with my black friends , i won’t include him in my list of favorites , if we’re talking influences . i usually lead with bud powell , follow up with oscar peterson , and then top it off with keith jarrett . truthfully , these are my biggest influences . besides bill .
i hope you got from the essay , that i do indeed come down on the side of ralph waldo ellison on matters of race and art . my delving into racial matters regarding jazz and culture , was to deal with them to move beyond them . that’s why i choose bill evans – a masterful musician who still holds me in awe nearly four decades after first hearing him – to be the avatar for this piece .

hi all ! i ' m planning on going to prague this april as part of a group of six and was considering this as an option for our last night . is it still worth doing if you book a spot on the upper deck ? is it a good middle ground for getting a great view of your surroundings and being able to appreciate the jazz playing down below ? or is the lower deck the better option all round ? thanks ! frank
