guitars. The instruments used, such as the piano, bass, and drum set, did a great job of bringing
out the perfect Jazz music ever heard. The hands on the instruments performed miracles. The
pianist, did a great job because he played the keys well and effortlessly bringing happiness to the

the guitars helps bring out the difference between jazz music and other genres of music. The lead
performer who had been in the spotlight for long did not disappoint since he did his part so
professionally and easy for him making the rest of the performers follow suit and collaborate to
produce the sweetest music ever. The great Hank Crawford playing one of his signature tunes,
"The Peeper," is ear pleasing and entertaining since he does it with lots of passion and
confidence making the audience enjoy every bit of the music being produced. Music produced
