Structural elements on music of Miles Davis
Rajnošek, Bharata ; SLOVÁČEK, Antonín (advisor) ; KOP, František (referee)
The thesis "Structural elements on music of Miles Davis" deals with the transformation of the jazz paradigm, briefly touches several crucial moments in the precipitous life of the aforementioned jazz giant and tries to capture at least a few subjectively important moments in his life. The thesis also defines what jazz music means to its author, in brief also author's basic musical preferences. This relates also to his endeavour to grasp the jazz personality phenomenon and within this context also the personality of Miles Davis. The author tries to understand the uniqueness of Davis' contribution and influence on music in general. In a surprising conclusion the beginning of Davis' jazz-rock period emerges as the most important one. The author sees there a fundamental peak - the transformation of the very essence of jazz interpretation - a change in the approach to jazz song themes as the head of the whole composition. The song theme is replaced by a single motive or a phrase. This leads to a shift of live interpretation possibilities and also the most important shift in the development of the jazz paradigm and method of working with structural elements.
