The song "Blue Train" by John Coltrane is very jazzy and uplifting. As I am listening to the first four minutes of the song, I immediately picture either a dark little club in the mid 1900s late at night or a modern-day Holiday Inn. The club because this song is jazz music which was pretty popular back in the day, and the Holiday Inn because this song also seems a little bit like elevator music. It does not seem like elevator music because it is bad (because it is not bad) but because it has a kind of calming factor as well as being peppy and uplifting. I feel as if I am in the middle of a club of ill repute during the prohibition, even though I'm pretty sure this song was not popular during that time period. Or maybe it was not even made up yet- I do not know.
I do not have much musical prowess, but I think there are a lot of instruments making up this song. I hear drums, saxophone, piano, and some other jazzy sorts of instruments going on there. The blend of these many instruments is rather nice and provides a calming quality although, as I said before, the music is still rather peppy and fun. I like it, but it definitely is not my favorite style of music.
This being said, usually I am not a big fan of jazz music, but this song was very nice. That being said, I will not be downloading this song onto my iPod or anything, even though I think it is a nice cute little song. It demonstrates modernism because it was a new kind of music back in the day, and probably came out of the Harlem Renaissance where African American music styles heavily influenced the music of the time and made a pretty big impact.
