abstract: This project uses fourteen transcriptions of Pete Fountain’s solos as examples to
demonstrate traditional jazz clarinet techniques and language in terms of motives,
patterns, and a variety of articulations. This project also includes guidelines on how to
practice jazz improvisation as well as how to apply Fountain’s techniques and jazz
language to one’s own improvisation. Though there are countless musicians who have
made remarkable contributions to the development of the jazz language, Pete Fountain’s
unique style is particularly worthy of study due to his massive media presence, effortless
playing techniques, unique tone quality, and showmanship throughout his career. / Dissertation/Thesis / Doctoral Dissertation Music 2019
