Dos arreglos y una composición para trío de Jazz

Abstract

This work is based on the creation of two arrangements and one unpublished composition for jazz trio, with piano, double bass and drums. The first arrangement is based on the main song of Caillou, a Canadian educational children's television series for kids, the second arrangement is about the theme song of the videogame GTA San Andreas. The original pieces were approached from the transcription of each one, as well as the analysis of contextual elements. On the other hand, the arrangements were developed by taking their musical materials, transforming and incorporating them into jazz styles like bebop, cool jazz, postbop and modal jazz with the proposed instrumental format. The unpublished composition takes as a reference some rhythms of the traditional music of the Colombian Caribbean like chandé and chalupa. The jazz trio makes an exploration of the instrumental format that accompanies these rhythms, essentially, in its timbre and rythmic richness in addition to the taking of some melotypes of the caña de millo. This work involves assembling the three pieces and performing them.
