This still needs a ton of work.

I chose this song because it was performed by one of the legandery artists, Louis Armstrong. I liked the feeling the musice gave me. It made me want to dance. I also chose this song becasue it doesn’t annoy me like some jazz does such as smooth jazz.
The song i chose was written in 1926. To get the feel of that time period i chose to do a black and white color scheme, with a little bit of color here and there. The colors purple and orange were chosen because those were the colors i saw when i closed my eyes listening to the songs figure out how i wanted my peice to look.
The images i am using portray a part of time set in the past, be for there were colored TV’s, and for entertainment you either listend to the radio or went and saw live entertainment.
The experience I hope the viewer takes from my piece is movement. I hope seeing the girl dance and hearing the music also makes them want to move to the music. I also hope I introduce some one to a new genre of music like this project has done so for me.

some history of jazz music.
Jazz is the art of expression set to music! Jazz is said to be the fundamental rhythms of human life and man’s contemporary reassessment of his traditional values. Volumes have been written on the origins of jazz based on black American life-styles. The early influences of tribal drums and the development of gospel, blues and field hollers seems to point out that jazz has to do with human survival and the expression of life.
The origin of the word “jazz” is most often traced back to a vulgar term used for sexual acts. Some of the early sounds of jazz where associated with whore houses and “ladies of ill repute.” However, the meaning of jazz soon became a musical art form, whether under composition guidelines or improvisation, jazz reflected spontaneous melodic phrasing.
Those who play jazz have often expressed the feelings that jazz should remain undefined, jazz should be felt. “If you gotta ask, you’ll never know” —Louis Armstrong.
The standard legend about jazz is that it was conceived in New Orleans and moved up the Mississippi River to Memphis, St. Louis and finally Chicago. Of course that seems to be the history of what we now refer to as jazz, however, the influences of what led to those early New Orleans sounds goes back to tribal African drum beats and European musical structures.

Lenard goes through out his day falling asleep and waking up. But lately his days have been rough, and he has been suffering from hallucinations, many narcoleptics suffer from. He starts his morning out by taking a walk. the trees he walks by reach out to grab him. as his day goes on he starts seeing images that make him very dizzy. Then blocks appear, warming his blinds he looking out of. the end of the day he’s ready to settle down in bed and read a book, when images started flying out of his book, sparkling.
