In this project, the purpose has been to research new ways of improving my bebop phrasing on the drums by transcribing one of the great saxophonists in jazz history – Charlie Parker. As a drummer, my main outlet for learning the language of bebop has been by transcribing other drummers. My theory is that I might find new ways of approaching my own instrument by transcribing someone who plays a different instrument than I do. This work is based around my personal goal of learning the phrasing and the language of bebop. To fully grasp the rich history of the music I´ve examined the rhythmic principles of one of the inventors – Charlie Parker. I write about my findings and my process of incorporating methods of phrasing into my own musical vocabulary. This project could be interesting for all kinds of practicing musicians but foremost for drummers. / <p>Repertoar:</p><p>Dewey Square (Parker)</p><p>A Night in Tunisia (Gillespie/Paparelli)</p><p>Lover Man (Davis/Ramirez/Sherman)</p><p>Koko (Parker)</p><p>My Little Suede Shoes (Parker)</p><p>Rocker (Mulligan)</p><p>Medverkande musiker:</p><p>Axel Mårdsjö - altsaxofon</p><p>Hampus Adami - trombon</p><p>Kalle Johansson - piano</p><p>Johan Tengholm - kontrabas</p><p>Johan Förnell - trummor</p>
