Willie Nelson

Willie (Hugh) Nelson Biography (1933– ) Print this article Email this article RELATED WORKS Albums 1966 Country Music Concert 1968 Texas In My Soul 1970 Laying My Burdens Down 1971 Yesterday's Wine » More works Country music singer and songwriter, born in Fort Worth, Texas, USA. Before he was a teenager he sang gospel in a Baptist church and played guitar in polka bands, but he also absorbed both pop and jazz music. Writing songs in Nashville in the 1960s, he helped the country music revival but he did not get much recognition for his own singing. He relocated to Austin, TX and also reconstructed his image, adopting his trademark beard, headband, earring, and blue jeans. At first he won over a largely youthful audience, especially with his annual ‘picnics’ like mini-Woodstocks, but gradually he broadened his appeal to an adult public. A widely popular, eclectic performer, he recorded jazz standards, country-rock, and gospel in his distinctive singing style, with its bluesy, off-beat phrasing. In the late 1980s he was briefly in trouble with the Internal Revenue Service for falling behind in his taxes, but he resolved that problem and resumed his role as something of a national country-music icon, in part because of his generous appearances at benefit concerts

My paradise

My paradise is somewhere fresh and cool, in a big house somewhere near the sea, I can see the scene clearly through the glass windows, it was very bright. We are sitting at my softest couch, drinking and eating something fruity and delicious.. I am with my friends chatting everything about life and our futuristic plans.. Everything I needed is there.. I can smell a fresh, cool scent that makes the place even more bright and ever fresh. I can see a car and a motor near my house parked at the sandy lot. I can hear cool jazz music all around. I wish we could go on the roads to travel beautiful places around my paradise. I would even travel to your paradise.. where could your paradise be?

Jazz music

Easier - Jazz is a type of lively music with strong, complex rhythms. It was first played at the beginning of the 20th century by black musicians in New Orleans, Louisiana. Jazz musicians often accent or add notes or beats in unusual or unexpected places. They make up tunes as they play. Jazz music has changed, and today there are many different forms of Jazz. Harder - Shortly after the turn of the 20th century, the earliest documented jazz music style emerged in New Orleans. Jazz began with a basic trio of musicians: a cornet, trumpet, or violin to carry the melody while a clarinet played ornate countermelodies, and the trombone provided rhythmic slides and the root notes of chords or simple harmonies. Below this group, there was a guitar or banjo sounding out the chords, sometimes a piano and/or a string bass, and drums supplying a rhythmic accompaniment. In theory these musicians and their instrument roles are the same as in other kinds of music, but jazz depends more on interpretation by individuals than on reproducing a fully annotated score. Jazz blends in improvisation and other elements of black music such as blues and ragtime to make a unique American music form. In jazz, musicians often play solos that they make up on the spot, or they reinterpret a given melody or chord sequence. When more than one musician is playing, the rhythms often become very complex. There is tremendous variety in jazz; the music is rhythmic, has a forward momentum called "swing," and employs "bent" or "blue" notes. One can often hear "call and response" patterns where one instrument, voice, or band section answers another. With a few exceptions found in some styles, most jazz is based on the principle that an endless number of melodies can fit the chord progressions of a song. Musicians improvise new melodies that fit the progressions. Other featured soloists follow with their improvisations for as many choruses as desired.
