Review of Matt Cusson's Debut Album (RnB/Jazz)

I am reviewing Matt Cusson's debut album even though it is over 2 years old because it is that good, and he is sadly not very well known. He is truly a musician. He writes his music, plays piano and guitar, and has an amazing voice. The genre of his music I would say is somewhere between R&B and Jazz. This album is best described as beautiful, laid-back, classy, and soulful. He has won numerous awards for songs on this album. Plus he has some awesome hats!

I first heard him at a small concert which I went to to see Javier at BB King's in New York. By the way, Javier is amazing too, and everyone should check him out as well. The first song Matt did was "Comfortable". I fell in love with the song the second I heard it. Got butterflies in my stomach just listening to it. That is, in my opinion, one of the most beautiful songs ever made. It is a depressing song that too many people can probably relate too, but I love that. There is nothing better than music that conveys the artist's emotions and evokes emotion in the listener.

The music Matt Couson makes seems so rare now days. There are so many nights I want to go to a show that was like his. A "piano bar performance". A small setting with dinner and cocktails along with a guy playing the piano and singing. These shows are possibly more impressive to me than the big stage crazy concerts that are more recurrent these days because it focuses solely on the beauty of the music and is intimate.

My other favorite song on the album is called "Heaven", which is probably the most classy sexy song you can hear. It is about the topic that is most commonly sung about (I'll let you guess what that is) in a way that you have never heard from anyone else. I think this song is perfect for about any mood. It just makes me happy.

07 Heaven

Matt does a duet with Javier called "Same Old Song" which is amazing due to the fact that they are both extremely talented vocalists. "Every Step" is a fun song while at the same time has a deep relationship topic. "One of Those Nights" is the single that is being marketed towards Jazz audiences as he is now signed to a Jazz label. I just hope he continues to make the type music he is making rather than straight jazz and that the label will market him to everyone because Matt Cusson has the potential to be the Frank Sinatra of our day and should be given the opportunity to make history with his music.

Should i take jazz or hip hop lessons?

I really like hip hop, i think i like it better than jazz.

But which will benefit me more? Im taking contemporary ballet and pointe already.
And i havent taken hip hop before either and someone told me the hiphop classes that they have at the dance school is very hard and precise but she tends to over exaggerate.

Should i take hip hop or jazz? And if i was to take hip hop, i'd be alone.
But if i took jazz, i'd be with all my friends.

I know this is going to sound really stupid but what I do is, have two pieces of paper, one that says jazz and one that says hip hop. Then you play eenie meanie mynie mo. If your heart sinks when you pick jazz,or you purposely choose hip hop, then you should definitely go with hip hop. But if you want to grow as a dancer in your technique, then you should take jazz. Hope this helps!

The Low End Theory $6.10 De La Soul are remembered as the premier Native Tongues posse, those rappers who got low-key, self-consciously thoughtful, and jazzy in the face of gangsta's hardcore threats.

The Jazz $6.99 Melissa Scott, winner of the John W. Campbell Award, twice winner of the Lambda Award for best novel, and author of the cyberpunk classic, Trouble and Her Friends, returns with a hip novel of the media-dominated future, when the internet is filled with Jazz: intentional misinformation and bewildering disinformation that are both an artform and a business. Tin Lizzy, a respected Jazz artist with a checkered past, is a theatrical Web site designer who does backgrounds for Jazz productions. When a nifty new script shows up on the web, Lizzy is surprised to learn it came from a teenage boy named Keyz. It turns out Keyz used his parents' access codes to borrow a Hollywood studio's editing program- the true, hidden source of the studio's success. Now the studio head wants to lock him in jail and throw away the key. So Lizzy rescues him and takes him on the road, across the altered landscape of twenty-first century USA, trying to stay one step ahead of the police . . . . and the vengeance of a megalomaniac CEO. The Jazz is a road chase novel of the future, filled with shady characters, close calls, and colorful neat ideas.

Joined at the Hip (Hardcover) $26.01 Jazz first churned its way into the Twin Cities on the Mississippi river excursion boats, which brought the likes of Jelly Roll Morton and Louis Armstrong to listeners on the levee—and it never left. When Paul Whiteman, Duke Ellington, Ella Fitzgerald, and other jazz greats toured the clubs and concert halls of the Cities, young musicians listened in the alleys outside, bought records, and learned more of this exciting new music. The local scene began to nurture players like Lester Young and Oscar Pettiford, who went on to bigger things, as well as those who remained close to home to ply their craft, like Rook Ganz, Percy Hughes, Doc Evans, and Dave Karr. Using an invaluable set of interviews taped with jazz personalities that were broadcast by Dave Sletten and Kent Hazen in the 1990s and rare photographs spanning the entire era, author Jay Goetting recounts the lore and explores the social aspects of the story: racism, the gangster era, unionization and strip joints, and the ever-evolving music itself.  Jay Goetting, a journalist and bassist, has been a broadcaster, newspaper reporter, arts administrator, and county supervisor in Napa, California. He currently calls both Phoenix and San Francisco home. Leigh Kamman is the former host of Minnesota public radio’s popular long-running program The Jazz Image
