Include the following parts in your project:
Part 1: Artist Background
• When and where were they born?
• What was their childhood like? (where they lived, family life, other interests
besides music, behavior in school, etc.)
• Musical influences (what other artists did they listen to, see perform, cover songs
by, etc.)
• What genre(s) of music are they a part of?
• What instruments can they play or what skills do they have?
Part 2: Career
• How did the artist’s career start? (move to another city, formation of band, etc.)
• What were their first big breaks? (record label contract, radio hit on the charts, TV
show or concert festival appearance, viral YouTube video, etc.)
• Significant albums (such as those that went gold, platinum, or diamond) and
charting hits by the artist, including the year each came out. Don’t make a list –
write a paragraph or two or name the albums in your narrative.
• Discuss their career during their heyday – provide some details about tours,
relationships between band members, etc.
• Avoid large gaps in the story you are telling (10 years or more). If the artist is still
alive, what are they currently doing? If the artist’s heyday was 50 years ago, you
don’t have to mention every album they ever released, but you should mention if
they had been actively recording – e.g. “Although Little Richard hasn’t had a top-
ten pop chart hit since the 1950s, he continued to record regularly during the
1960s and ‘70s, releasing his most recent album in 1992, Little Richard Meets
Masayoshi Takanaka.”
Part 3: Interesting Facts/Distinctions/Influence and Legacy
• Any information that is interesting about the artist, but doesn’t fit into the
parameters above. Examples would be awards won, life problems that made an
impact (a death, drug use, etc.) or just funny things that you found out (like they
only eat M&Ms with no brown ones in the bowl).
• Any distinctions or famous performances the artist is known for. For example, if
your paper is about Elton John, mention “Candle in the Wind 1997” and that it is
the second best selling single of all time according to the Guinness Book of
Records, behind Bing Crosby’s “White Christmas.” For Jimi Hendrix, you should
mention he set his guitar on fire at the Monterey Pop Festival and his memorable
performance at Woodstock of “The Star-Spangled Banner.”
• Assess the impact and influence the artist you chose had on subsequent rock
artists. Some artists, although popular, are not particularly influential and you don’t
have to discuss it, but others (Elvis, Chuck Berry, The Beatles, Led Zeppelin, etc.)
are very influential, and you should detail what that influence is. For example, if
your paper is about The Red Hot Chili Peppers, you should mention their album
Blood Sugar Sex Magik is recognized as an influential and seminal component of
the alternative rock explosion of the early 1990s, led by the song “Under The
Bridge.”
Part 4: Picture
Include a picture of the artist somewhere in your document
Part 5: Stage Show
If it is available, watch a live performance of them (concerts or TV shows are both
good). Describe their performance style and stage show in a short paragraph (3 – 5
sentences): what their stage clothes are like, any props used, audience participation,
gestures, lights, smoke machine, etc. You may have to watch 30 to 60 minutes of video
of the band you choose to get this information.
Part 6: Reflection
Reflect on what you learned about the artist and what you thought was interesting about
them. Now that you have done this research, has it changed your opinion of them? If so,
how/why? What surprised you, what could you relate to, etc.
In addition to all of the above, I will be looking at the overall quality of your writing and
confirming that there is proper punctuation, proper grammar, and proper use of
capitalization. Be sure that your discussion of their career goes in chronological order
and doesn’t jump back and forth in time. Try to put the information in the order it is
listed on the assignment. That should give your essay a natural flow.

pretend you went to the Early Music Ensemble Concert: Winds of the Past. and answer the following questions as if you went to it and watched it:
How did your little bit of research help you to experience it? Are you disappointed? Is it what you expected?
Have you heard something that you’ve never heard before? Have you listened in this way at a concert before? How does the fact that the music is played live contribute to the experience?
Think about the venue of the performance. Is the performance space conducive to live music? Does anything enhance or distract from the performance?
How does the physical positioning of the performers affect the performance? Does the performers’ body language suggest anything about their engagement with the music? If there is a conductor, does he or she make much eye contact with the ensemble? If there is a conductor and a soloist, who is in charge?
What kind of information, if any, is provided in the program notes? Do you find this information useful for appreciating the performance?
How would you describe the behavior of the audience? Is there a code of etiquette that they seem to be observing?

The aim of this assignment is to demonstrate your knowledge of the “particularity” v “universalism” binary, how it relates to jazz and other African American musics, and how it may (or may not) have continued meaning in contemporary debates over music and culture, ethnicity, and/or race.
<
Your required to
<
Explain the binary contrast between “particularity” and “universalism” as it relates to jazz (as discussed in class), and how is this binary connected to race.
<
Describe how the “particularity” versus “universalism” binary is evident in BOTH Joel Rogers’s “Jazz at Home” and HR-57 (Concurrent Resolution of US Congress, 1987). You might address these questions: does one of the authors embrace either “particularity” or “universalism” more or less than the other? In what way(s)? You can find any creative way you want to relate the two and get at the central question (particularity v universalism).
<
Bring in an example from contemporary music and/or politics that demonstrates the continued salience of the debate (and its “paradoxical” nature). Examples could be a musical piece, the discourse surrounding a piece, an artist, the discourse surrounding the artist, a particular event (or discourse around an event), and so forth… or any combination of those.
<
The fundamental aim is to explore the facts and stakes of staking claims that music, or a particular kind of music, is more linked to a particular group of people rather than being a “universal” possession of human beings in general.
<
Feel free to express your opinion, but please be respectful and engage with sources “faithfully.” (That is, feel free to criticize, but criticize what the authors really say—or mean—rather than criticizing a caricature of what they’re saying.)
<
In doing so,
<
Discuss at least 3 musical moments with our usual level of “specific” description and analysis.
<
Engage with at least three written sources (one beyond the required Rogers and HR-57). You can bring in a source from outside our class readings, but I recommend checking with me first. Journalism is generally unsuited, unless the piece you choose is appropriately thought-provoking. Feel free to stick to class sources! I have provided both PDF files that are used in class
