Guía para la comprensión e interpretación de los Groove del Álbum Gently Disturbed de Avishai Cohen partiendo del análisis del tema Chutzpan

Abstract

The following work begins with the aim of finding the Avishai Cohen music ensemble’s sonority. In its initial part, this work develops a characterization of the most relevant style and resources of thought and the unique way of the interpretation and contribution of the composer and the double bass player Avishai Cohen, whose tendency is part of the contemporary language of jazz. The Chutzpan theme was chosen as the basis, because this enables the development and acquisition of valuable compositional and interpretative tools that condense the most relevant contributions of this genre. An exhaustive morphological analysis was carried out, emphasizing the Groove by the drummer Mark Guiliana for the accompaniment of the themes that constitute the disc Gently Disturbed, focusing on different polymetries and asymmetries characteristic of this composer's music. As a result of this first part, different proposals of appropriation and implementation of rhythmic bases were elaborated, creation of accompaniments and development of the Grooves in the battery that make possible the comprehension and interpretation of these new resources. Therefore, this work is proposed as an exercise guide aimed at drummers and percussionists in general, where they will find contrasted forms of alternation, timbres and sonorities that within common uses are valued as new and creative.
