Pela primeira delas, foram interpretados os impasses encontrados pelo conjunto para possibilitar a gravação, a prensagem e a distribuição de seus três álbuns lançados entre 1979 e 1982, à luz das intensas transformações da indústria fonográfica brasileira desse período. Na busca por apoio para a viabilização de seus trabalhos, os integrantes do conjunto potencializaram a retórica de produção musical independente, que ganhava força nesse mesmo período. Mantiveram, também, intensas aproximações com o Centro de Promoções Artísticas Lira Paulistana, e uma relação nuançada com a construção da ideia de vanguarda paulista. A segunda perspectiva de análise recai sobre as proximidades e distanciamentos entre a música produzida pelo Grupo Um e a fricção de musicalidades presente no jazz brasileiro. Para tanto, foi realizado um panorama da evolução jazzística durante o século XX, situando o cenário da virada dos anos 1970 para os anos 1980 no Brasil e no mundo. Além disso, alguns aspectos da obra discográfica do conjunto foram assinalados no intuito de refletir e discorrer sobre os possíveis sentidos de sua utilização naquele momento, a partir dos elos com o estilo fusion de jazz. / This dissertacion intended to rebuild and to analyse the artistic trajectory of the ensemble Grupo Um (1976 - 1984) following two complementary perspectives. The first one has interpreted the standoffs founded by the group in order to make it viable the recording, pressing and selling, of its three albuns between 1979 and 1982, surrounded by the intense transformation of the brazilian phonographic industry at the time. At the searching for supporting to make it viable, they have potentialized the rhetorics of independent musical production, that was gaining force at the same period. They manteined, also, intense aproximations with the Centro de Promoções Artísticas Lira Paulistana and nuances with the construction of the very idea of the vanguarda paulista. The second perspective of analyses lies in the approximation and distancing of the music produced by Grupo Um and the friction of musicalities that were present in the brazilian jazz. Therefore, a panoram of the jazz evolution in the 20th century was made, situating the turning point scenario of the 1970's in Brazil and in the world. Besides that, some aspects of the ensemble discography are pointed out in the will to reflect and punctuate about its possible meanings of utilisation at that moment, regardening its ties with the jazz fusion style. / FAPESP: 2015/09829-3

Jazz and rock have been historically treated as separate musical traditions, despite having many similar musical and cultural characteristics, as well as sharing significant periods of interaction and overlap throughout popular music history. The rift between jazz and rock, and jazz and rock scholarship, is based on a set of received assumptions as to why jazz and rock are different. However, these assumptions are not naturally inherent to the two genres, but are instead the result of a discursive construction that defines them in contrast to one another. Furthermore, the roots of this discursive divide are to be found in the history of popular music journalism. In this thesis I challenge the traditional divide between jazz and rock by examining five historical case studies in American jazz and rock journalism. My underlying argument is that we cannot take for granted the fact that jazz and rock would ultimately become separate discourses: what are now represented as inevitable musical and cultural divergences between the two genres were actually constructed under very particular institutional and historical forces. There are other ways popular music history could have been written (and has been written) that call the oppositional representation of jazz and rock into question. The case studies focus on the two oldest surviving and most influential jazz and rock periodicals: Down Beat and Rolling Stone. I examine the role of critics in developing a distinction between the two genres that would eventually be reproduced in the academic scholarship of jazz and rock. I also demonstrate how the formation of jazz and rock as genres has been influenced by non-musicological factors, not least of all by music magazines as commercial institutions trying to survive and compete in the American press industry.
