Karel Velebný and the Third Stream
Pudlák, Jan ; Havelková, Tereza (advisor) ; Šťastný, Jaroslav (referee)
This Master's thesis focuses on the specific features and phenomena in the Czech third stream in the 1960s. These specifics are identified, on the one hand, through the analysis of Karel Velebný's third streams compositions, but also through their comparison with third stream works by other Czech authors in the observed period. The resulting characteristic of the Czech third stream is then confronted with the third stream of an American author and ideological founder of this style movement, Gunther Schuller. The criterion for the inclusion of the analyzed compositions in this thesis was the presence of a certain avant-garde ambition, which, in this thesis, is understood as the use of dodecaphony or other New music compositional techniques in the context of jazz music. In the analysis, the thesis focuses on the way these compositional techniques were implemented into the structure of jazz music, but the author also observes which musical components are through this stylistic synthesis modified the most. Key words: Third stream, jazz, Karel Velebný, Pavel Blatný, Gunther Schuller
Karel Velebný and His Influence on Czech Jazz Scene in the 70th and 80th of the Twentieth Century
Pudlák, Jan ; Zdrálek, Vít (advisor) ; Eben, David (referee)
This bachelor thesis is concerned with Czech jazz multiinstrumentalist, composer and pedagogue Karel Velebný. The aim of the thesis is to describe his influence on the Czechoslovak jazz scene and also to describe his impact on the following generations of Czech jazz musicians. In addition to the analysis of the discourse on Karel Velebný in Czech literature, I deal with the analysis of Karel Velebný's texts in which I follow his aesthetic values on the basis of which I elaborate a hypothesis about Velebný's idea of an ideal jazz style and the related conception of desirable and undesirable modernity in jazz. I analyse this idea and I present it as Karel Velebný's heritage to the following generations, drawing this heritage as the main trace of Karel Velebný's influence on the Czechoslovak jazz scene.
