15. The role of the saxophone embouchure in the production of the South African jazz sound : a study of nine jazz saxophone players

Music
Abstract

South Africa is known for having its own distinctive jazz music sound of which the saxophone is a significant feature. The saxophone has often been recognised world-wide as a symbolic jazz instrument and has also played an important role in South African jazz. As the embouchure of the saxophone is crucial to its sound production, it stands to reason that it plays a role in producing this distinctive South African jazz sonority. The purpose of this study is to understand the role of the embouchure in producing the ‘South African jazz saxophone sound’, and to find a common trend in saxophonists.

16. Teaching jazz harmony through an understanding of bebop

Author

Narunsky, Michael Dan and Rossi, Mike

Abstract

Includes abstract., Includes bibliographical references (leaves 59-63)., The approach used to explain functional harmony in this thesis, combines the two views on harmony, horizontal and vertical. In this respect, it is an attempt to bridge the two worlds, classical and jazz. Pedagogy in these disciplines has been advancing as two parallel lines that would seemingly never meet. Prejudices on both sides, fuelled by ignorance, have led musicians to view classical music as 'serious' and jazz as being a form of 'light' music. This has an obvious negative effect on any attempt to bring about some coherent educational programme that will address the common aspects shared by these two musical worlds. This theis will address concepts in classical harmony and show how these can be used for the understanding of jazz harmony. The syle in jazz know as 'bepop' will be the focus of this study since it can be looked upon as the 'Baroque era' of jazz.
