Week 4: One O' Clock Jump

    I'm definitely late this time around, but I thought that I would catch up anyways. Might as well, huh?

    I listened to "One O'clock Jump"  by Count Basie and His Orchestra for this blog post. I really enjoyed the orchestrations, it was fun and easy to listen to. The instrument solos were cool, but not super "in your face". I liked the rhythm and pattern of the melody throughout the song. I felt that it flowed nicely, and that it gave the song the vibe that it needed. It all felt rather cohesive, and I like that. 

    This song also did not feel repetitive at all, which is quite refreshing. I feel like there are a few songs here and there from each era that are quire repetitive. Sometimes the redundancy can be nice, but other times, it comes off as rather annoying and not very creative. I did not feel that way with this song. I felt like it always had something new to offer to me. I was also expecting it to have words, but it most definitely did not have any. However, the title of the song still made so much sense to me in terms of how the song came across.
