Miguel Sucasas Bujones Jazz Saxophone Research Supervisor: Patrick Schenkius Integration of harmonic concepts in the improvisation through rhythmic exercises. How can I internalize and apply harmonic concepts through the study of rhythmic exercises and where can I find rhythmical ideas? This research paper is presented as a handbook of exercises. It contains a first chapter as introduction to my own rhythm exercises. Part of these exercises were inspired on the traditional Indian methods of solfege. I could get access to this information thanks to the advanced rhythm lessons that I assisted at Amsterdam conservatory. This Indian tradition have a strong focus on the study of rhythm. Another part of the exercises were developed by me in my daily practice as a result of months of practice and transcriptions from traditional rhythms. In the second chapter I apply this exercises to the different harmonic concepts. The objective of these exercises is make the musician get fluent and free to use this new harmonic sources in a natural way on the improvisation. Biography: Born in Galicia, Spain. I started studying traditional Galician music at the age of six in Redondela and went to study classical saxophone in the “Professional Conservatory Victor Ureña” (Galicia-Spain). I moved to Portugal in 2010 in order to study Jazz saxophone at ESMAE (Escola Superior de Música e Artes do Espectáculo de Porto). I finished the Saxophone Jazz Bachelor in 2014 at ESML (Escola Superior de Música de Lisboa). I have been playing in the European Saxophone Ensemble since 2013 around all Europe. I have played in several international bands, including the “Saxophone Orchestra of Redondela”. I recorded my first album with the Spanish master of the saxophone, Pedro Iturralde. I have played in the famous band of Roy Ellis, Mr. Symarip (Ska-Rocksteady). I recorded an album with him and played on two European tours with this band. I performed at the International Jazz Festival in Guimarães with the Big Band of Porto Jazz High School. I have recorded with the “Orquestra de Saxos de Redondela”, “La vaga banda” (Ska and Reggae), Caraba (Rock), Roy Ellis (Ska-Rocksteady), European Saxophone Ensemble (Jazz, Classical and Free improvisation) and have recorded other works like sideman in the area of Pop and Rock music.
