Congrats goes out to Eastwood Zhao and Stephen Welton for winning our latest contest. Eastwood won a copy of Command & Conquer Tiberium Wars and Stephen won Needs for Speed Carbon, both from Electronic Arts.
I can’t believe my name was drawn out of the hand out of 270 comments! Thanks a lot John, and yes, I got a good-enough system to test out the game (P4 HT 3.2Ghz, ATI X700 256Mb, 1 Gb DDR2 RAM, 300 Gb SATA hard drive…etc.)
Looking forward to winning John Chow’s LCD monitor
Stop — right here — before reading on, how would you describe this image?
The Lost Correspondent is part of an underwater sculpture park by artist James Taylor in Grenada. The sculptures are slowly transformed by their underwater habitat with a community of banded coral shrimp living in one of the drawers and damsel fish inside the type writer. www.underwatersculpture.com
One of the special features of jazz music is the articulation that the various players use in expressing themselves through their music. Some players enjoy using the standard swing style articulation very common to the Swing and Bebop eras, others use little articulation relying on legato or slurred phrases, some use staccato in their playing to add interest or emphasize certain notes or phrases.Most all players eventually arrive at a style of articulation that is suitable for expressing themselves. Young players often struggle with getting the various muscles to respond at the precise time the fingers touch the keys, be it saxophone, trumpet, piano, guitar or whatever. Think of articulation as proper enunciation. No one enjoys listening to a speaker or a musician who cannot properly or effectively get his message across because his mind is not coordinated with his voice, lips, fingers, breath, etc.
I found an excellent e-book that deals with jazz articulations on the saxophone. Click here to view it.
