Murtorytmi vapautti basson uudenlaiseen rooliin jazzkomppauksessa

Abstrakti

In my doctoral research, I focused on broken-time bass comping in jazz. Broken time is an accompaniment concept in bass playing that evolved in jazz music in the 1950s and 1960s. The research led me to conclude that the mastery of broken-time comping has great potential for enhancing and enriching the expressive repertoire of the jazz bassist. My doctoral degree consisted of four concerts, a recording released as a CD, and a written thesis about three bass players: Scott LaFaro, Jimmy Garrison, and Ron Carter.
