| spelling | oai:open.uct.ac.za:11427/9262 The jazz piano style : a comparative study of bebop, post-bebop and modern players Lilley, Andrew May, James Music Includes bibliographical references. The study embraces a need to document the jazz piano style through analytical representation of key players in the jazz tradition. While there are several educational books outlining method, there is little material discussing jazz style in the context of influential piano players. Educator and author, David Baker, has undertaken to introduce several books from this perspective for some of the more influential horn players (Baker 1982). A search for the jazz style of Bud Powell, Thelonius Monk or Horace Silver, however, will reveal little material and where available this constitutes mostly short biographical information often occupying less than a paragraph within a chapter of historical context. Thomas Owens, for example, discusses the bebop style in 'Bebop, The Music and the Players' (Owens, 1995). He mentions most of the key players for each instrument and discusses their respective stylistic traits. The work is very informative from an overall perspective but serves only to introduce a broad understanding of the players listed. There is very little in-depth analytical discussion or comparative study on style. The subject base is too large for this kind of detail. 2014-11-05T17:37:50Z 2014-11-05T17:37:50Z 2006 Doctoral Thesis Doctoral PhD http://hdl.handle.net/11427/9262 eng application/pdf College of Music Faculty of Humanities University of Cape Town |
