Title of the research: Baritone saxophone in jazz quartet
Research question: what are the aspects involved in creating and performing a repertoire with baritone saxophone as solists in jazz quartet?
Summary of results: through a historical overview and the analysis of the most relevant releases of the great baritone players of jazz history, I've been able to recover different solutions and ideas to create a repertoire of original pieces suitable for quartet, concerning composing, arranging, selection of the instrumentation, theme exposition, solo contents, and eventual issues. I finalized my work displaying my works and my choices about technical and artistic aspects concerning my own quartet.
