Topic 1:  This piece was released by Herbie Hancocks fusion band The Head Hunters on their self-entitled album Head Hunters.  See Acid Jazz and Jazz-Hip-Hop Fusion in the on-line Lesson on Jazz Rock Fusion to help you describe Sly.  How many soloists are there in this piece?  Please list them by name and instrument.  Now listen closely to Bennie Maupin who solos on the soprano sax at 02:26.  Describe his solo style.  How does he phrase with the rhythm section?  Describe what happens to the feel and tempo just before he solos at 02:03.  What happens at 05:20 just before Hancocks solo?  Describe how Hancocks playing of an electric piano is different from an acoustic piano.  How do the other musicians support him?  Does their accompaniment have rock elements?  Is there a hypnotic pulse during the solos? Does the bass line function as a pedal point?  Do the bass and other accompanying instruments give this piece a modal quality?  What characteristics of these fusion soloists in Sly are different from soloists you have heard in other jazz styles such as hard bop, modal and free?  What aspects of these fusion soloists are similar (to hard bop, modal and free)?

In the Doc that I attached is the example of this task

According to Cascio (2016), managers who are skilled in managing people provide a competitive
advantage for the 21st century organizations. Although human resource professionals offer guidance and
support, it is the employees’ direct managers who have the greatest impact on productivity, engagement
and morale. Effective managers in all functional specialties recognize the challenges of managing people
today and how to address them.
In a 3 – 4 page paper, examine the significant people management challenges your organization (or one
with which you are familiar) faces, and what the organization and you as a manager can do to meet those
challenges to enhance productivity, engagement and morale. A well-constructed paper will cite and
reference 3 or more sources and include the following elements:
• Identify two significant people management challenges you and/or your organization face, and
the potential impact of these challenges on organizational success.
• Recommend 2 actions such as new programs or policies the organization should take to address
the people management challenges
• Discuss 2 – 3 specific actions or behaviors you as a manager of people can take to enhance
employee productivity, engagement and morale.
• Describe 2 insights you gained into effective people management and the manager’s role in
encouraging employee productivity and engagement.
