http://vincelahorra.multiply.com/ “Jazz is the HIGHEST FORM OF MUSICAL EXPRESSION. From it’s practitioners, Jazz demands nothing less than DEDICATION, DISCIPLINE, FOCUS, and above all, TALENT. From the listener, it demands an OPEN MIND RECEPTIVE TO THE UNFAMILIAR AND THE ABSTRACT. Jazz is DEEPLY ROOTED in the Classical and Blues traditions, yet is CONSTANTLY AND CONTINOUSLY EVOLVING. Jazz is INDEPENDENT OF TRENDS AND FADS, yet is RESPONSIBLE FOR THE MUSICAL INNOVATIONS THAT HAS BENEFITED MAJORITY OF POPULAR MUSIC. Jazz is a duality: it is an INTUITIVE AND NATURAL FORM OF MUSICAL EXPRESSION, yet is also a HIGHLY INTELLECTUAL CREATIVE PURSUIT. “ – Vince Lahorra, September 3, 2008 Mon, 15 Sep 2008 09:00:48 -0000 Tue, 5 Aug 2008 01:13:24 -0000 http://images.vincelahorra.multiply.com/logo http://vincelahorra.multiply.com 100 100 One of the classic songs that made the 20's "roar", this song was written in 1924 (!) and was first introduced in the Broadway musical "Lady Be Good". The MIDI sequence in this track is one of my starting projects using Logic Pro 8. The sax parts were recorded using a Korg D1600 digital multitrack in my home studio. Soon, I plan to get a Mac audio interface so i can record audio directly to Logic Pro. Enjoy "Fascinating Rhythm" as i did putting this tribute together!

One, such as a painter, sculptor, or writer, who is able by virtue of imagination and talent or skill to create works of aesthetic value, especially in the fine arts.<br>2. A person whose work shows exceptional creative ability or skill, as in "You are an artist in the kitchen".<br><br>Take note of the key words here: SKILL and CREATE.<br><br>We’re all familiar with the way artists are stereotyped: deeply immersed in his/her craft, unconcerned with material wealth and barely making ends meet. Are the best love songs really “written with a broken heart”? Are timeless masterpieces really conceived on an empty stomach? Is inspiration really born out of desperation and despair? Is the definition of “artist” really “a poor person”.
