Imitation, assimilation and innovation : Charlie Christian’s influence on Wes Montgomery’s improvisational style in his early recordings (1957-1960)Salmon, Shawn M. 11 January 2012 (has links)
Much of guitarist Wes Montgomery’s study of jazz improvisation came from imitating Charlie Christian’s guitar solos. The purpose of this study is to identify and examine significant improvisational traits that Wes Montgomery developed as a direct result of his imitation and assimilation of Charlie Christian. The dissertation investigates the musical traditions in Christian’s playing that were absorbed into Montgomery’s playing and how Montgomery was able to use these traits to foster new musical traditions.
The solo transcriptions are limited to Montgomery’s early recordings between 1957 and
ending with his 1960 album The Incredible Jazz Guitar of Wes Montgomery. The study
also examines the relationship imitation has with creativity in jazz and how originality is
influenced by the past.
The dissertation examines the two guitarists’ use of five harmonic and melodic
devices over dominant harmonies: scales, arpeggios, use of chromatic pitches, formulas
and enclosures, and harmonic substitutions. The study focuses on how Montgomery’s
melodic and harmonic treatment of dominant harmonies has been influenced by his imitation and assimilation of Christian’s improvisations. The study examines how Montgomery differentiated himself in his improvisations from Christian’s. A strong emphasis is given to the significance of these differences and how these differences are
connected to Montgomery’s originality and innovation. This dissertation confirms that
Montgomery’s innovation was strongly linked to his imitation of Charlie Christian. It
also suggests that devotion to the imitation of past artists is needed in developing an
original voice in jazz. / Biographical history and musical development of Charlie Christian -- Biographical history and musical development of Wes Montgomery -- Stylistic traits of Charlie Christian over dominant-seventh harmonies -- Stylistic traits of Wes Montgomery influenced by Charlie Christian -- Conclusion. / School of Music

Previous issue date: 2006 / Resumo: No período compreendido entre o final da década de 1960 e estes primeiros anos do século XXI, configurou-se, na produção fonográfica brasileira, um gênero de música instrumental com características próprias, em que a cultura do país é permeada pela estética do jazz norte-americano, sendo esperado do músico executante um elevado nível de proficiência e domínio das técnicas de improvisação. O presente trabalho concentra-se na obra de um dos protagonistas desse cenário, o guitarrista e violonista Hélio Delmiro, buscando examinar alguns dos elementos de inventividade musical constituintes de seu estilo, o que, acredita-se, poderá vir a contribuir para uma sistematização da aplicabilidade de tais recursos nesse tipo de arte, com ênfase nos instrumentos de sua especialidade. Para tanto, partindo-se do material resultante da pesquisa de iniciação científica O estilo de improvisação de Hélio Delmiro, foi feita uma comparação contextualizada de aspectos formais e estruturais presentes em sua obra gravada, seja por meio de composições, improvisos ou (re)harmonizações, com procedimentos já sistematizados por estudiosos da música popular. Essa observação demonstrou que Delmiro sintetiza suas influências estilísticas de maneira peculiar e consistente, sendo um importante personagem no processo de consolidação da linguagem da ¿música instrumental brasileira¿, e assumindo uma posição referencial com relação ao papel do violão e da guitarra nesse contexto / Abstract: During the period of time between the late sixties and the first years of the 21st century, the Brazilian phonographic production witnessed the configuration of a genre of instrumental music that proved to have its own characteristics; while containing the Brazilian culture, it is nevertheless permeated by the aesthetics of American Jazz, creating an expectation towards the performing artists of an elevated level of proficiency and the mastering of Jazz improvisational techniques. The genre is called here the ¿Brazilian Contemporary Instrumental Music¿. This paper concentrates on the work of one of the most important protagonists of this genre, the guitarist Hélio Delmiro. We seek to examine some of the elements of Delmiro¿s musical creativity and style, hoping this work will contribute to create a systematization and develop means to its applicability, with an emphasis on Delmiro¿s specialty. In order to realize this research, we departed from the findings of a previous one, developed during our undergraduate years, called ¿Hélio Delmiro¿s Improvisational Style¿. This paper presents a contextualized comparison of structural and formal aspects of Delmiro¿s recorded work, which includes compositions, improvisations, and reharmonizations. Those aspects have been previously systematized by scholars interested in ¿popular music¿, we applied some of those to the study of Delmiro¿s music. The realization that Delmiro makes use of different sources of material to develop his music demonstrated that he synthesizes his stylistic influences in a personal and consistent way, thereby becoming a very important protagonist regarding the process of consolidation of the ¿language¿ of the Brazilian Contemporary Instrumental Music, taking a very important position as a reference on the role and importance of the guitar in that context / Mestrado / Mestre em Música

The Adaptation of Saxophone-Like Phrasing into the Improvisatory and Compositional Vocabulary of Jazz Guitar: A Comparative Analysis of Phrasing, Articulation, and Melodic Design in the Styles of Jimmy Raney, Jim Hall, and John ScofieldPinilla, Daniel, 1987- 05 1900 (has links)
This study investigates how different guitarists introduced saxophone-like phrasing into the improvisatory and compositional vocabulary of jazz guitar through their collaborations with saxophonists. This research presents a comparative analysis of phrasing, articulation, and melodic design in solo improvisations. The mixed approach to this study includes analysis of motives, voice leading, articulation, length of phrases, melodic contour, and the execution of bebop vocabulary on the guitar. The findings are based on original transcriptions from significant recordings by guitar-saxophone pairs. These highlight the similarities between and adaptations of musical devices from saxophonists Stan Getz, Jimmy Giuffre, and Joe Lovano into the jazz guitar styles of Jimmy Raney, Jim Hall, and John Scofield. This study supports the argument that the evolution of modern jazz guitar playing is directly connected to the adaptation of saxophone-like phrasing at an improvisatory and compositional level. It also shows that the concept of style in jazz flows between different instruments' lineages. Understanding these findings provides a more complex and accurate concept of the development of style in jazz.
