Sonic Revelations, Sonic Revolutions

Wednesday and Thursday of this week I spent some time at the Cat listening to some small jazz ensembles. My favorite thing about coming to Oberlin is that so many of my peers are artistically active, especially musically so. Some of the kids who played really just blew my mind. I was especially impressed with Mike King, a piano player. He really has an amazing ability to listen to what everyone else is playing and react off of them. If you guys ever have free time when there are performances going on, I highly suggest attending. It is just so exciting to me to have such quality music so accessible. Thursday night there were four different groups that played. They each had a very distinct sound, and it was really easy to get lost in the music. I ended up spending three and a quarter hours Thursday night stuck on a couch enjoying free jazz music. I know I already said it, but I really think you guys should all make an effort to see as many concerts as possible while you’re here. The music on campus is consistently really awesome.
