About this exposition

In this research, I study and analyze works of arrangers of different times and styles for medium ensembles (from octet to tentet). The main goal is to explore the potentialities of medium groups and to learn techniques through the analysis of scores and recordings. Medium ensembles in jazz haven’t as much history and tradition as big bands and small combo’s do; this makes them still a widely un-explored line-up that can lead to new sounds and ideas inside jazz idiom. I divided the arrangers I analyzed into three different categories: “Little Big Band”, “Birth of the Cool”, “Joe Lovano and Lee Konitz”. The second part is intended to be more personal and focus on my own compositions/arrangements. The focus is on how I used the techniques learned in the analysis process I did in the first part, and how I adapted them for my band’s arrangements.
