| Abstract | Jazz improvisation has mostly been investigated using either detailed analysis of selected solos (see Pfleiderer & Frieler, 2010 for an overview) or combination of performer interviews and ethnographical accounts (e.g. Berliner, 1994; Norgaard 2008). Recently, a qualitative mid-level approach of annotating jazz piano solos with regard to underlying playing strategies has been developed (Schütz, 2012; Lothwesen & Frieler, 2013, Frieler, Lothwesen & Schütz, 2012). These mid-level plans (“ideas”) result in musical units of about 2-3s which are probably shaped by overlearned, semi-automatic motor processes. The annotation method showed high external validity according to interviews with performers (Schütz, 2015), and admits also statistical analysis, thus, contributing to a deeper phenomenology of jazz solos, which in turn provides new and more solid evidence for models of jazz solo improvisation (e.g., Pressing, 1988). |
