You don't just hear gospel music, you feel it. At the heights of its power, this uniquely American art form connects the spirit of the writer, performer and listener with a truth much higher than presents travails. The notes, rhythms, and lyrics paint a picture of the ongoing tale of struggle, persecution, redemption and freedom. Blues, rock and roll, r&b, country and even modern hip hop and rap music have all been influenced by the sound and soul of gospel. It has faced down the bleak days of slavery, depression, violence and fear with a tear in its eye and a promise on its lips. On Oh Happy Day, a wide array of contemporary artists has been paired with some of today's leading gospel voices and legendary choirs. Together they explore a batch of gospel standards and main-stream hits that were clearly inspired by the old soulful sound and feel of gospel. It's an all-star celebration that just might take you someplace higher if you let it. Track listing: 1. I Believe - Jonny Lang (with the Fisk Jubilee Singers) 2. Presence Of The Lord - 3 Doors Down (with Soul Children of Chicago) 3. Higher Ground - Robert Randolph & The Clark Sisters 4. Keep The Faith - Jon Bon Jovi (with Washington Youth Choir) 5. People Get Ready - Al Green & Heather Headley 6. Waiting For My Child To Come Home - Mavis Staples & Patty Griffin 7. Storm Before The Calm - Michael McDonald (with West Angeles Cogic Mass Choir) 8. Redemption Song - Angelique Kidjo 9. A Change Is Gonna Come - Aaron Neville (with Mt. Zion Mass Choir) 10. Oh Happy Day - Queen Latifah (with Jubilation) 11.

By most standards a "little" big-band album, this set carried the bebop canon, such as it was, into the realm of California cool jazz, using Art Pepper's chops on milky tenor and sharp alto saxophones alongside plush arrangements from Marty Paich. There were key links on this session to the Miles Davis nonet's Birth of the Cool a decade earlier, which opened with the same Denzil Best tune. But Pepper offered himself up as a more acidic improviser, jagging solo structures despite the comparative clarity in his tone. Some of the most compelling moments come during Horace Silver's "Opus de Funk," which Pepper spins as an intricate, if not entirely funky, platform for full-band riffing and pinching alto contrasts with the trumpet-driven brass section. There is a continual bowling-over process here, with Pepper overwhelmed by the full colors surrounding him, and then the ensemble likewise startled by Pepper's tart intensity. --Andrew Bartlett

Modern, Contemporary or Traditional Kitchens Styles to Suit Any Home

Three of the most popular kitchen styles, modern, contemporary and traditional fit most homeowners’ ideas of a kitchen that is as functional as it is attractive. Before choosing a kitchen style, decide which overall style is most pervasive throughout the home. Generally, this style will prevail in the kitchen as well.

Modern and Contemporary Kitchen Styles
Modern and Contemporary kitchen styles are based around cabinets, appliances and furniture that have gained the most popularity, present a "wide-open" airy environment and are notable for their quick and easy maintenance. For example, modern kitchen styles have gravitated to larger appliances like cook tops with dual surfaces for cooking and grilling as well as larger telescoping faucets for the kitchen sink.

The detail in modern and contemporary kitchens is accented with bright chrome fixtures as well as white or eggshell cabinets. The refrigerator and freezer combination might be equipped with an ice maker and have an exterior in brushed stainless steel or chrome. Smaller appliances like toasters, toaster ovens and all-purpose mixers coordinate with these larger appliances. Lighting in a modern kitchen would be recessed, often covering the entire ceiling for added light. In a modern or contemporary kitchen style, there is an overall sense of ultra-simplicity that is comfortable and attractive.

Traditional Kitchens
In the style of traditional kitchens, there are several types to choose from: "Country", "Provincial" or "Rustic", all of which expand the homeowner's ability to personalize their kitchen to suit their needs. Country kitchens resemble in many ways, a "farmhouse" style. Cabinets can be painted in bright red or deep navy and accented with ceramic pulls. Oak does well in this kitchen.

Large appliances as well as small fit this traditional style. Country style kitchens fairly shout, "Comfort" in the casual atmosphere it establishes. Provincial kitchens borrow the country look, though with a more ornate detail in furniture and cabinets where woods tend to be dark and accented with antiqued brass. A Rustic kitchen has a style that coordinates well with rattan furniture or simple Shaker-style cabinets.

The mood in a rustic kitchen is achieved by pairing plain wood styling with a "back porch" look often seen in western country homes. A rustic kitchen has an unmistakable "outdoor" appeal brought right into the kitchen. Add in an old fashioned cook stove that has been modernized, a sink with an underskirt, several plain wood cabinets with either glass or tin panels and the rustic look is complete. This is one style that allows a lot of freedom to add the type of kitchen furniture that might be found in a log cabin. The decor of this kitchen makes it serviceable and easy to maintain. Plain, flat surfaces without ornate designs makes this kitchen that fits any family's needs.

Choosing the Right Style Kitchen
When choosing styles for a kitchen, creating the most appropriate design that will be durable enough for the busiest room in the house is the most enjoyable part of planning personal kitchen atmosphere. Other touches like coordinating curtains and table linens complete the style for maximum appeal.

What's the difference between contemporary and modern dance?

I want to take contemporary, but I want to know if there is a difference between the two, modern and contemporary

thanks in advance for your answers, really appreciated

Modern dance is a dance form developed in the early 20th century. Although the term Modern dances has also been applied to a category of 20th Century ballroom dances, Modern dance as a term usually refers to 20th century concert dance.

Contemporary dance is the name given to a group of 20th century concert dance forms.

Rather than a specific dance technique contemporary dance is a collection of systems and methods developed from Modern and Postmodern dance. The development of contemporary dance was parallel but separate to the development of New dance in Britain. Distinctions can be made between European, Canadian and American Contemporary dance.
