In this bachelor project, Leon Falk has examined the interplay and collective improvisation in New Orleans jazz and related genres - in particular the interplay among the wind instrumentalists in New Orleans jazz and brass bands. The main goal has been to develop as a trombone player and ensemble musician.This reflective thesis includes a description of the process of the project and the exam concert, a historical reflection about the New Orleans jazz and brass band tradition and an analysis of 9 interviews with contemporary musicians playing traditional jazz: Jens "Jesse" Lindgren, Björn Ingelstam, Ulf Johansson Werre, Joakim Falk, Claes Ringqvist, Klas Lindqvist, Hans Ingelstam, Niklas Carlsson and Örjan Kjellin. The thesis ends with a conclusive reflection about the project as a whole and Leon Falk's own play style in ensemble with other wind instruments. / <p><strong>Repertoar examenskonsert: </strong>St James Infirmiry (trad), Room Rent Blues (Irving Newton), At the Georgia Camp Meeting (Kerry Mills), Should I Reveal (Nacio H Brown / Arthur Freed), Savoy Blues (Edward Kid Ory), While We Danced At the Mardi Gras (Alfred M Opler / John H Mercer), Cash is King (Leon Falk), Girl Of My Dreams (Sunny Clapp).<strong>Musiker examenskonert: </strong>Leon Falk (trombon/sång), Adam Falk (klarinett/tenorsaxofon), Erik Tengholm (trumpet/kornett), Jocke Falk (trumpet/kornett), Uno Dvärby (kontrabas/banjo), Sara Karkkonen (piano), Jonathan Leidecker (trummor).</p>

The thesis deals with the Czechoslovakian all-girl band Satanic Girls (in South America performing under the name Las Satánicas), which performed in exile since August 1968. The author, using music and anthropological approaches based on the analysis of interviews (conducted in the period February 2013 - March 2014), press articles, photos, videos and archival materials, describes, analyses and interprets the history of the band. Doing so, the main emphasis is being put on the processes of negotiation. Setting out the thematic line "women - musicians - emigrants", the text observes how the emigration and the constant extreme changes in the cultural environment as well as the managers influenced the musical and visual style of the band. One of the central themes is a permanent, involuntary (and sometimes unconscious) oscillation of the band between being presented as the musicians or as the sexual attractions.
