- Title
Repetition and Self-Realization in Jazz Improvisation.
- Authors
CARVALHO, JOHN M.
- Abstract
The author critiques the research of musicologist Susan McClary on repetition in classical music and her thoughts on the work of philosopher Theodor Adorno, which the author intermingles with his own. The author takes issue with McClary's conclusion that repetition in music was influenced by African music, which would later influence jazz, rhythm and blues, and blues music. A psychoanalytic approach is used by the author to understand repetition in contemporary music. McClary uses an analogy of an oedipal child, which the author reinterprets according to his own use of psychoanalytic theory and also considers Adorno's criticism of jazz music.
