    COMMON GROUND: THE SHARED INFLUENCES AND CHARACTERISTICS OF JAZZ FUSION AND PROGRESSIVE ROCK by JOSEPH BLUNK B.M.E., Illinois State University, 2014 A thesis submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate School of the University of Colorado in partial fulfillment of the requirement for the degree of Master in Jazz Performance and Pedagogy Department of Music 2020 Abstract Blunk, Joseph Michael (M.M., Jazz Performance and Pedagogy) Common Ground: The Shared Influences and Characteristics of Jazz Fusion and Progressive Rock Thesis directed by Dr. John Gunther In the late 1960s through the 1970s, two new genres of music emerged: jazz fusion and progressive rock. Though typically thought of as two distinct styles, both share common influences and stylistic characteristics. This thesis examines the emergence of both genres, identifies stylistic traits and influences, and analyzes the artistic output of eight different groups: Return to Forever, Mahavishnu Orchestra, Miles Davis’s electric ensembles, Tony Williams Lifetime, Yes, King Crimson, Gentle Giant, and Soft Machine. Through qualitative listenings of each group’s musical output, comparisons between genres or groups focus on instances of one genre crossing over into the other. Though many examples of crossing over are identified, the examples used do not necessitate the creation of a new genre label, nor do they demonstrate the need for both genres to be combined into one. iii Contents Introduction………………………………………………………………………………… 1 Part One: The Emergence of Jazz………………………………………………………….. 3 Part Two: The Emergence of Progressive………………………………………………….. 10 Part Three: Musical Crossings Between Jazz Fusion and Progressive Rock…………….... 16 Part Four: Conclusion, Genre Boundaries and Commonalities……………………………. 40 Bibliography……………………………………………………………………………….

    SYLLABUS Music 298 Jazz Improvisation 2 Time: TBA 135 McCain Auditorium Dr. Wayne E. Goins E-mail address: [email protected] Office telephone: 532-3822 Course Overview and Syllabus Prerequisite: instructor permission/audition/interview Required Text: The Wise Improviser. Goins, W. (2006 KS Publishers) Course Outline: The primary goal of this course is to review the advanced elements of jazz, and to prepare students to investigate the more complex material found in the areas of jazz improvisation. The objectives of this course are for each student to a) develop the ability to incorporate these advanced principles of jazz improvisation in their performance technique in order to raise their level of performance, and b) apply principles of jazz improvisation to standard jazz literature so that each participant is able to create a more sophisticated improvised solo (based on chord changes found in selected literature) that is logical and effectively incorporates the material covered in class; and c) demonstrate a thorough working knowledge of the principal players involved in the stylistic development of the various periods related to jazz improvisation. Grading: Attendance in all classes is mandatory. Any unexcused absence may result in a full grade cut (i.e., one excused absence=B, two unexcused absences=C, etc.) Being late twice will constitute an unexcused absence. Students are primarily graded on attendance and individual performance/ability to incorporate materials covered in class into their improvisational skills. Performance Dates: Students will be expected to demonstrate knowledge and ability for material for material covered in class on a weekly schedule. Grades will be determined on a satisfactory/unsatisfactory basis.

  • The Jam Session Model for Group Creativity and Innovative Technology
    THE JAM SESSION MODEL FOR GROUP CREATIVITY AND INNOVATIVE TECHNOLOGY Maksim Belitski Henley Business School, Whiteknights, University of Reading, Reading, RG6 6UD, United Kingdom [email protected] Monika Herzig Arts Administration, School of Public and Environmental Affairs, Indiana University, Bloomington, Indiana, 47405, United States [email protected] 1 ABSTRACT This paper builds on the analysis of factors observed at jazz jam sessions facilitating team creativity and improvisation as a model for managing organizational innovation. The model was established through detailed observations, surveys, historical research, and interviews. Even though the jazz metaphor has been used as a model for organizational improvisation the discussions rarely extend beyond the improvisational process of idea generation (Frishammar, Dahlskog, Krumlinde and Yazgan, 2016) towards a comprehensive model for team creativity and effective organizational management (Santos, Uitdewilligen and Passos, 2015). The seven factor Jam Session Model for Group Creativity and Innovative technology is built from a comprehensive analysis of the jam session process and exemplified with case studies of leading innovative companies such offering a theoretical and practical model for managing and facilitating group creativity and innovative technology. Keywords: Organizational Improvisation, Creativity, Jam session, Group Creativity, Innovative technology INTRODUCTION Although a team’s creativity and cognitive architecture are acknowledged as key components of organizational improvisation (Moorman and Miner, 1998) and performance (Hargadon and Bechky, 2006; Perry-Smith and Shalley, 2014; Frishammar, Dahlskog, Krumlinde and Yazgan, 2016), there has been a disparity in the conceptualization of creativity and the role that improvisation in a group setting can play for ideas and new knowledge creation (Zack, 2000).

  • Jazz Improvisation for Effective Design Collaboration
    Jazz Improvisation for Effective Design Collaboration WonJoon Chung*, Lucas Lacerda** * School of Industrial Design, Carleton University, [email protected] ** School of Industrial Design, Carleton University,[email protected] Abstract: In this paper, we attempt to investigate a potential way to improve group ideation practice in collaborative situations in design. Our research identified that it is difficult to develop innovative and compelling product because of challenges such as, strong market competition, and rapid technological improvement. In addition, an interesting challenge on top of the aforementioned ones is how to develop products in the era of globalization. Some have employed collaboration as a way to overcome these challenges and reported that collaboration provided a clear advantage in terms of facilitating creativity and team dynamics. However, they also note that it is not an easy task to implement nor is it a guaranteed process for successful or fruitful results. To respond to the importance of the collaboration, this paper insists that the collective context of a jazz ensemble would improve collaborative activity in design practices. Through careful ethnographic observation of a jazz jam session, we found that impromptu and serendipitous musical ideas are generated and managed by musicians during their jam sessions and looked for how the musicians improvised musical ideas through collective activities by interacting with other musicians. In addition, we also focused how they collaborate together in sync rather than in conflict. To assess the potential of this new collaborative activity, we used the comparative method and analyzed a collaborative design workshop with a jazz ensemble’s jazz session. The idea behind this study is not to provide a new modus operandi for product design development, but to intensively analyze improvisation, point out its uniqueness, and open discussion about the potential usage (or existence) of this knowledge in interdisciplinary collaborative design ensembles.

How Bebop Came to Be: The aE rly History of Modern Jazz Abstract Bebop, despite its rather short lifespan, would become a key influence for every style that came after it. Bebop’s effects on improvisation, group structure, and harmony would be felt throughout jazz for decades to come, and the best known musicians of the bebop era are still regarded as some of the finest jazz musicians to ever take the stage. But the characteristics of bebop can easily be determined from the music itself.
