The sound of morning

Produced by Jasmine Lee

Ever since I moved to college, my world has been filled with incessant sound. From sirens on the street to the practice rooms in my school, I can't catch a moment of silence. On top of the usual sounds of NYC, I have a noisy neighbor. His constant noise from unusually loud parties remind me of a time where I was the noisy neighbor, an uncontrollable seven year old nuisance cooped up in a small hotel somewhere in Florida, where Gene Kelley and Donald O'Connor were my only friends.

Performance is a central component of every student's education at the New School for Jazz and Contemporary Music, and the Ensemble Showcases are where faculty-led student groups showcase their talent and creativity.

In 1940, the Afro-Cuban tradition began right here in New York City. Machito and his Afro-Cubans, under the direction of maestro Mario Bauza, fused the harmonic sophistication of jazz with the rhythmic complexity of Afro-Cuban music. The Afro Cuban Jazz Orchestra Ensemble explores that rich legacy with a repertoire that encompasses the past, present, and future of the genre. The ensemble performs once a month at the Nuyorican Poets Café and every semester in a school concert featuring a renowned guest soloist.

Whenever you walk around the streets of New York City, the sounds of Sirens contribute to the cities charm, but it’s actually not that charming. Some get annoyed, some get scared, some keep walking, and some turn to see what is happening. For me, when I hear a siren, my mind becomes filled with nostalgic memories of Summer of 2014. In this piece you will hear how the sound of a siren reminds me of Summer 2014, when I traveled to Israel during war time and how it completely changed my life, for the better.
