0 Comments | Posted by admin in Music
Jazz guitar player Joe Cinderella began to play the guitar at the age of nine without any formal jazz guitar instruction. His first jazz guitar influences were Django Reinhardt and Charlie Christian. His father, a musician who worked in the music publishing business, gave him his first guitar. It was during his late teens and early twenties that Cinderella, while serving in the US army, began to seriously study music and composition using jazz guitar books. He had studied jazz guitar with Frank Staffa for five years and then attended Essex University graduating with a degree in music. Further formal education continued by learning the Schillinger System with Edwin Bave, followed by private studies in film writing with composer/arranger Kermit Leslie, musical director of The Hit Parade helped him learn to play jazz guitar on a more in-depth level.
Joe Cinderella began a career as a solo jazz guitar player in the early 1950s. In 1954 he recorded an album with singer Chris Connors which received high critical acclaim. He went on to play with many leading jazz musicians including Teddy Charles, Zoot Sims, Donald Byrd, Vinnie Burke, Joe Newman, Roger Kellaway and Gigi Gryce. Cinderella came to further prominence when he joined baritone saxophonist Gil Melle’s jazz quartet.
Joe Cinderella moved into the world of radio and television session work in the early 1960s. He had a 22 year career in the studios. As a skilled arranger and composer his talents were much in demand. He was staff guitarist for Channel 13, Newark’s PBS station for many years.

The Olympus Micro Four Thirds camera and the Olympus 17mm work together very well. The excellent thing on this lens is its general sharpness; it is extremely sharp on the centre and on the borders too. The optical defects are controlled quite well on the Olympus 17mm. Distortion is controlled marvelously on this lens. This optical defect is only apparent only at the widest aperture but on the other aperture it is controlled perfectly. At the widest aperture, vignetting is also insignificantly evident but just as in distortion it is also well controlled on other apertures excellently. Chromatic aberration is the only problem on this lens as it is not controlled well at any aperture and focal length.
Considering the build quality, its lightweight and compactness characteristics on this lens is admirable. Focusing and zooming on this lens is excellent too. The zoom ring and focus ring are very fast and responsive.
If all music made equal amounts of money do you think it would affect the music scene? I think that if all kinds of music were equally lucrative you would hear a lot more good music.
If pop stars all got paid the same amount I’m sure they would all follow their passions and make music they truly believed in. Many artists often look back on some of the music they have made and admitted it was bad but did it because their record label thought it would be a hit.
I wonder what music would be like if there were no music charts. Would music still progress the way it has done with each decade having a specific sound or would 70s music hits and 90s sounds still be in vogue. Would more people be using sounds that would be considered retro today if it wouldn’t affect their success?

Tokina Lenses Prove That It is the Results That Count
0 Comments | Posted by admin in Photography
Those who prefer first party lenses, have long branded Tokina lenses along with similar offerings by Sigma and Tamron as inferior. While it is true that some third party products do not have the same level of quality control as those of the name brands, it is safe to say that Tokina has always quite a high standard. Lenses are not cheap and even third party products that cost less than their first party counterparts are still a big investment for most people. People to whom photography is just a hobby will be even less inclined to pay high prices for products that offer them no discernable improvements over something cheaper. This is why companies like Tokina have flourished purely by providing quality lenses at competitive prices. In the end, it is the results that count and the truth is that many people will not even be able to tell the difference between photos taken by a third and first party lens.
I know teachers are searching for good read aloud books along with other teaching materials, so I’d like to tell you about some.

It’s Nicaragua, and this book will introduce you to a little bit of Spanish vocabulary, plus take you on an amazing journey down the Rio San Juan. Don’t miss out on the fun and adventure. Your students will love these books. And there are more to come. The series is a set of five books, and you will want to collect them all!
Scales can be a bugger to learn on the guitar. We know they’re the entrance to being able to play some amazing lead guitar stuff, however that initial learning period is boring. It’s tough and it’s something I personally don’t like doing very much. So what can we do about it? Well for me I try to look past the frustrating aspect. For instance when I was taking online jazz guitar lessons I knew that I was going to have to learn some scales. There was just no way around it. Scales were important beacuse they were the way to know what notes to play together in a particular key. If I wanted to be able to play some nice lead in a jazz style then I was going to have to learn those scales come heck or high water. So I put my head down and learned them. The question though can you learn jazz if you don’t learn scales? Well that’s a tough one, because you can understand the chords, you can get them under your fingers, but if you don’t know the scales then it’s tough to know what chords are in what key and you’ll never be able to improvise on lead the way you might want to.

When one hears a strong bass ringing out it’s easy to get lost in the music. In a lot of ways it’s fair to say that’s the main point of the art in the first place. It transcends time, place, and person. However, sometimes there’s a lot to be gained by looking at the mind behind the music. For example, Russell Solomon is a talented artist to be sure. However, when really looking at his life it’s interesting to ask just where the inspiration comes from. Probably the easiest answer is that it comes from the people and relations within his life. In particular his dedication to the lovely Michizzle is obvious. However, one can also see that his love of travel over the world has influenced his music. The cycle of learning is evident there, as gigs take him from place to place and each winds up leaving an impression on his heart.
