Abstract

Jazz improvisation on synthesizers

This doctoral work examines jazz synthesizer improvisation through transcriptions and analyses of solos by Jan Hammer, Joe Zawinul, George Duke, Chick Corea, and Michael Brecker. Using artistic research and aural imitation, it reveals how these jazz synthesizer pioneers crafted their distinctive voices through sound choices, phrasing, and creative use of the synthesizer. It stresses that great improvisation arises from combining jazz tradition with imaginative sound design and expressive playing techniques.
