Freddie Hubbard Face To Face Jazz Music CD Review

The exceptionally talented Jazz artist Freddie Hubbard has released him CD entitled Face To Face. I am very confident and happy to announce that I believe Freddie Hubbard fans, and Jazz fans alike will be pleased with this one. With the release of Face To Face Freddie Hubbards artistic excellence is on full display as Hubbard has once again delivered a brilliant collection of tracks that could very well be him best work to date.

The CD kicks off with a great track, All Blues, that I suspect will be heard on radio stations everywhere, and deservedly so. It really is a very nice track.

Face To Face is a pleasantly varied, mix of 5 tracks that are very well written songs by this clearly talented artist. With many of the songs displaying a lot of the kind emotion that makes for a really great listen. Clearly drawing from what I can only imagine are him own personal experiences. At different points touching on the most real emotions like love, and the pain of failed relationships can certainly be heard.

I give Face To Face my highest recommendation. It just plain belongs in any serious music collectors collection regardless of genre preference.

While the entire album is really very good the truly standout tunes are track 2 - Thermo, track 3 - Weaver Of Dreams, and track 5 - Tippin.

My Bonus Pick, and the one that got Sore [...as in "Stuck On REpeat"] is track 1 - All Blues. This is a great track!

Face To Face Release Notes:

Freddie Hubbard originally released Face To Face on June 24, 1997 on the Original Jazz Classics label.

CD Track List Follows:

1. All Blues

Canine Freestyle Dancing - Dancing With Your Dog!

One of the biggest trends taking the world by storm today is dog dancing also known as Canine Freestyle Dancing or the art of dancing with your dog. It is quickly becoming popular among dog owners as a form of exercise and fun but is also a highly competitive sport.

If you like to dance, take your dog with you. Instead of just taking him for a walk, you can have much more fun doing canine freestyle dancing in a controlled environment. Qualified dog training instructors will show you how to train your dog and you will incorporate the commands into your own chosen dance routine.

Freestyle is a dance that is performed to music (Heelwork to Music). A dance routine is created and the dog is taught moves that blend with those of the dogs handler. The steps for musical freestyle dancing with your dog can be easily integrated with basic dog obedience commands.

Dressage is a form of command given by slight movements of the hand and barely noticeable to the onlooker. While learning the musical dance routines, your dog can also learn basic obedience commands, as well as advanced obedience commands, while incorporating the use of dressage.

Dog owners meet once or twice weekly, usually at a canine training facility, and spend an hour or more making up moves and interacting with their dog as a form of aerobic exercise for both dog and handler. Freestyle means anything goes as far as the movements chosen to perform.

Moving across the floor, twirling around, going backwards, leg lifts, and jumps are just some of the steps used for the dance routines. For the professional the dance is carefully choreographed. The handler, and sometimes the dog, are dressed in a dance costume and perform in competition.

Brenda Steokes, owner of Canine Country Day School in Manchester, CT, dances weekly with her Australian Shepherd Luna at Tails U Win Canine Training Center, also in Manchester, CT. Aussies are not able to easily walk forward when standing on their hind legs so Brenda is working with Luna in her dance routine to strengthen the muscles needed for this move. Luna is also capable of doing a high-five with both front paws while continuously walking across the floor next to Brenda.

The art of Dog dance was sanctioned by The World Canine Freestyle Organization, founded by Pattie Ventre. Though it has been around since the 1980s, it has only recently become very popular in the form of fun and exercise rather than just a competition. Other organizations in the Unites States include the Canine Freestyle Federation and The Musical Dog Sport Association.

Anyone can join in the fun. It sure beats jumping around the living room floor to a DVD or television exercise program. Check with your local dog training facilities for information on programs in your area.

List Of Audio File Format - Music Format For iPod And iTunes

What is audio file format or how a music file is stored in audio format? The audio file format provides container to store audio data on device, the device can be computer, music player etc. The audio data can be stored in device in compressed or uncompressed format. The decompressed format is used to reduce the file size on device. One would like to have more and more music files on music players by compressing their file size.

Types of Audio Formats

The current format for music audio files includes wide variety of formats with advantages and disadvantages. The current list of audio file formats are categorized into three major groups

list of "Uncompressed audio formats"

1. WAV 2. AIFF 3. AU

List of "lossless compression format"

2. FLAC 2. APE 3. WV 4. TAK 5. TTA 6. WMA

List of "lossy compression format"

3. MP3 2. Vorbis 3. Musepack 4. WMA 5. AAC

1. Uncompressed Audio Formats

The well known uncompressed audio format (PCM) is stored as WAV on Windows system and AIFF format on MAC operating system. The PCM stands for "Pulse-code modulation", which is a digital representation of an analog signal. The PCM has been used in digital phone systems and in computer as digital audio format. Because of its digital sampling WAV format is very flexible and can store recording in original format.

2. Lossless Audio Formats

Many Music audio formats compress the audio data so that more and more songs can fit on device. The audio compression comes in two forms, one is "lossless compression" and other is "lossy compression".

The lossless audio format retains every bit of information of original recording and nothing is lost. Since no data is lost during conversion that is why "lossless audio format" can not make converted or compressed file as small as file compressed during "lossy compression" method.

3. Lossy Audio Format

Under lossy compression method some of the audio information is lost as compared to the original, this makes converted file much smaller. The information which is lost during "lossy compression" is not very important and is least important to the file. One of the format which uses this method of compressions MP3 file format.

Audio File Formats

• MP3: The most popular music format is MPEG Layer-3 format. This is popular for downloading and storing music. Because of Lossy compression the download file is much smaller then the original.


• WMA: - The Windows Media audio format is popular with windows system, it was designed by Microsoft.


• WAV: To open files with these formats you need ATRAC3 drivers.


• RA: This format is "Real Audio format" and is used to stream audio over the internet.


• RAM: This is used to store a link to the internet address where actual audio file is stored.


• DSS: Digital Speech Standard files.


• MSV: - Memory Stick compressed voice files.


• DVF: This file is commonly used by Sony dictation recorders.


• MP4: Apple uses this format for downloading music from their iTunes store with digital right management.


• iKlax - Multi-track digital audio format, allows mixing and volumes arrangements.


• GSM: This file format was designed for telephone use.


• DCT: This audio format is used for dictation, it's header portion can be encrypted.


• VOX: This audio format uses the "Adaptive Differential Pulse Code Modulation".


• AAC: This audio format is based on MPEG2 and MPEG4 standards.

Things to Do in Brighton

There is something for everyone in the city of Brighton. Arts and entertainment are buzzing across the city from dusk until dawn. See comedy and cabaret at the Komedia, or top bands at the Brighton Centre, enjoy world music, opera and ballet at the Brighton Dome and west end shows at the Theatre Royal. The choice of entertainment in Brighton and Hove is endless!

The city also has some of the best clubs on the south-coast as well as a fantastic live music scene - a must for any socialite.

For the more wholesome visitor there's nothing quite like a bracing walk along the prom or a stroll out to sea on the Brighton Pier to clear heads and revive appetites! On a wild and wintry day, it's an exhilarating experience. However if you'd rather ride, take the Volk's Electric Railway, England's oldest, along Madeira Drive to Brighton Marina, admiring the fine Regency terraces as you go.

Experience all the thrills of traditional and modern rides on Brighton's famous pier - there's a wonderful atmosphere at dusk when the sun goes down and the lights come on, great for families and people watching!

Eating out in Brighton

Eating out in Brighton and Hove is second to none. With a fantastic range of restaurants, pubs and bars, eating out in Brighton is pure gastro heaven, whatever your tastes - or budget. Consistently topping awards at the Observer Food Awards, whether you're looking for award winning cuisine, veggie treats, a tasty beachfront brunch or delicious cheap eats, eating out in Brighton is a culture in itself.
Places to visit in Brighton

Brighton is simply bursting with attractions. Experience the heritage of the Royal Pavilion and Preston Manor, indulge in the seaside fun of Brighton Pier, Brighton Marina and the Sea Life Centre or get cultural with Brighton & Hove Museums. A unique mix of heritage, culture and cosmopolitan fun, Brighton and Hove attractions cater for everyone.

For something more sedate try a boat trip or check out some of the stunning Brighton and Hove countryside sitting on Brighton's doorstep. With a backdrop of the Sussex Downs and traditional English countryside, Brighton and Hove is also a great base for exploring the region.

Nightlife in Brighton

Brighton's nightlife can very roughly be divided into three geographical areas; the seafront, which is conveniently removed from any close neighbours and has several clubs in the old arches; the Lanes and North Laine areas, where there is more variety and most clubs and bars appeal to a larger audience; and Kemp Town, which is also very diverse but with a stronger fringe touch and sense of bohemian abandon.

There are plenty of good bars and pubs in Brighton. Koba Bar, 135 Western Road; The Dorset, 28 North Road; and Brighton Rocks, 6 Rock Place, in Kemp Town are all recommended.

Brighton's clubs include Concorde, which is a famous music and dance club; Ocean Rooms, a stylish nightclub with action on three floors; and Audio, a trendy, sophisticated club with regular gigs in an intimate environment. The choice is as varied as the people that frequent them and well worth exploring until you find your favourite!

The live music scene in Brighton is also very good with many excellent venues. Concorde also doubles up as a very popular rock venue. The Old Market in Hove is good for folk music. Both Komedia and the Brighton Dome are great venues for a wide range of musical styles and genres.

For more local reviews and to find out about all the best venues and places to visit in Brighton then visit We Love Local's Brighton Guide. Full contact details are given for all local business listings. You can also read reviews and recommendations and view Brighton businesses on a large map.

And thats how to put music to Ipod from your CDs. Its that easy, and all thats left is to listen to them.

In order to get the music from the internet, you will need to find a good reputable website for downloading the music from.

Piano Teaching Games

PIANO GAMES

There are lots of fun games for the whole family that you can play using piano by number books. Here are just a few:

Name That Tune: One person plays the songs on the piano while everyone tries to guess the title of the song. Kids love playing the songs, so kids can take turns. You can also use the Play Along Audio CD, but kids also love being the center of attention and playing the songs on the piano.
Musical Chairs: Put chairs in center of room and when the music stops everyone has to find a chair, except there's always one chair too few. Use the CDs or have the kids (any age) play the piano.

Christmas Pageant: There's more than enough material on the Play Along Audio CD to present your own show. Kids (any age) will love putting it together, and can take turns playing along with the music or acting in the show.

Make Up Your Own Show: The Family Favorites section has 28 familiar melodies that creative kids can turn into a show about anything.

Have Everyone Try It! You'd be surprised what fun a family gathering can become when everyone is asked to play a song from the book. You'll discover that your family and friends have hidden musical talents! Most people really do want to try playing the piano, so make a game of it!

TEACHING GAMES

FOURS

(This game is available in GAMES FOR THE PIANO and you can click here to play FOURS on our online piano!)

"Fours" is the most basic rhythm game that I play with kids. I always use it on the first lesson, and on all subsequent lessons until the child seems too old for it. It's a fun but very childish game that teaches rhythm and piano geography without using printed notes or numbers of any kind.It's important for kids to actually play the piano without the encumbrance of graphic notation (notes or numbers) of any kind. For example, you'll notice that kids in general can go to the piano and play three songs:Chopsticks, Heart and Soul, Knuckles (that funny piece played on the black keys with the knuckles of the right hand!)

"Fours" is a piano game constructed in exactly the same mold. The child plays numbers and I play the chords. If the symbols below don't line up in your browser, remember that there are always four notes (numbers) for every chord (letter.) The child begins on "Middle C," also known as the number one: "1" The teacher plays the letters, or chords.

1111 2222 3333 4444 5555 6666 7777 8888

C G C F C F G C

I play a kind of funny Chico Marx oom-pah accompaniment using the chord pattern (C G C F C F G C, etc.) Kids find this very easy and refreshing. We play up the piano keys, moving to the right, with the natural goal being for the child to reach the highest key on the piano. I'm pretty "strict," that is, if the child breaks the rhythm or misses a key, we start over. Strangely enough, kids love to go back to the beginning and start over as much as they love going all the way to highest key.Fun variant: Ask them to count up the white keys until they reach the highest white key (starting from Middle C, which to them is #1) and tell you what the "number" of that white key is (it's 29.) This has no musical value except that it makes the child an explorer of the instrument.The object of these games is to make the child a keen and enthusiastic observer of their instrument, something impossible to do when the child is locked into reading only sheet music from a book. Kids need to improvise, however humbly, and essentially all of my games are designed to make fun music outside of sheet music, numbers or conventional.

"Fours" teaches a child that

1. sheet music is not always necessary to have fun with music

2. they have to count while they play

3. music is divided into numbered units

4. piano is a fun thing they can do right away

Learn to Dance - An Exciting New Era of Learn to Dance at Home is Evolving

An Exciting new series of Learn to Dance instructional videos which has encouraged learn to dance and fitness is rapidly being recognized. In an era poorly populated with "well being and healthy culture" dancing is an exciting innovation to lifestyle. It provides fitness with friendship and a new outlook in life.

Cha cha is a dance of the Latin American vogue of ballroom dancing where it is has become known as Cha Cha. In general Cha cha is a charismatic dance and a joy to watch. Inspired by television programs like Dancing with the Stars the ChaCha and other forms of dancing are now being learn in the home.

Rumba is another of the dances. American style rumba is characterized by the hip movement arising from the bending and straightening of the knee. Rumba is a sensual Latin dance, It is considered erotic for its hip movement and relatively slow rhythm. It is a slower dance and perhaps that is what adds sensuality.

Tango. The complex figures of this style became the basis for the style of Tango seen in the touring stage shows. The dance was simplified and adapted to the preferences of conventional ballroom dancers. Most Dance Instructors recognize that lessons needed to be easy to learn and the new methods have captured the true spirit of the dance.

Why Bollywood Ringtones Are The "In" Thing

The pull of popular culture is what is driving the current worldwide popularity of mobile phones. Owning a cool phone is considered the "in thing" and makes people feel that they "belong". Popular culture is also the reason for the current popularity of certain fringe cultural outlets like world cinema or world music. It is not surprising that these two worlds - phones and world cinema - would meet and come up with a surprisingly new and fresh fad. Bollywood ringtones on your mobile phone.

For those who are as yet unfamiliar with the term, Bollywood is a term that has been given to the Hindi-language film industry in India. The term "Bollywood" is a mix of the names "Bombay" (which is the old name of Mumbai) and "Hollywood" the acknowledged center of the American film industry. The Indian film industry is one of the most robust in the world. It is considered as one of the most prolific in terms of the number of films released each year. It is also the number one when it comes to the total number of ticket sales.

The most unique (or most peculiar, depending on your personal taste) feature of Bollywood movies are the musical numbers incorporated into almost all movie offerings. This does not necessarily mean that Bollywood movies are all musicals. It is just that by tradition, a movie is not considered complete without a song and dance number. And unlike the typical musical, these numbers contain plot points and action that are not found in US-style musical. For most Indian moviegoers a movie that does not contain at least one song and dance number is considered incomplete and not worth the price of the ticket. Traditional Indian dance and music forms heavily influence these song and dance numbers. Even pop or modern songs and dances are injected with distinctively Indian elements that make them quite unique.

It is these unique Bollywood songs (also known as filmi music) that are gaining a renewed popularity as ringtones for mobile phones. There may be two major reasons for the growing popularity of Bollywood ringtones. First, Indian cinema is gaining a new level of international popularity in other countries. Film lovers are discovering that Bollywood films have merits that makes them so compelling to watch. Lovers of kitsch, on the other hand, find Bollywood movies fantastical enough that it captures their attention.

The second reason for the popularity may also be attributable to it being such a peculiar yet cheeky way of having a ringtone. A bollywood ringtone on a person's phone may paint a picture of that person as a lover of film and / or a person who has a sense of humor and loves to bring something unusual to his phone.

Customizing your mobile phone's ringtone with a Bollywood ringtone shows that you are a person that is both a lover of culture but not afraid to poke a little fun at yourself. These qualities may be the reason that Bollywood ringtones are becoming such a popular choice among people.
