Title: | The integration of Carnatic rhythmic devices into contemporary jazz performance: a framework for improvisers |
Author: | Gray, Lyndon Robert |
Issue Date: | 2017 |
School/Discipline: | Elder Conservatorium of Music |
Abstract: | This performance-based dissertation explores the application in jazz of five rhythmic devices drawn from the Carnatic music tradition of South India. The study offers a framework for the incorporation into jazz performance, and the double bass in particular, of the five devices. Four CD recordings document the resultant performances by the author, a double bass player. The exegesis offers definitions for each device, and examples of their usage in pre-existing jazz contexts. The exegesis ultimately proposes a detailed methodology that incorporates original exercises intended to reinforce familiarity with the devices, and guidelines for ensemble rehearsal. |
