THE INTERPRETATION OF EXPERIENCE: A CONTEXTUAL STUDY OF THE ART OF THREE PITTSBURGH JAZZ DRUMMERS.
Doctoral Dissertation, University of Pittsburgh.
(Unpublished)
Abstract
This dissertation presents an ethnomusicological study of the art of three Pittsburgh jazz drummers, Joe Harris, Ron Tucker, and Roger Humphries with particular reference to the nexus relations between performance practice and the interpretation of experience. Following the work of Davis, Nketia and others this study argues for an approach to the analysis of black music which takes into consideration the viewpoints of the musicians who produce the music as well as those of the community who participate at performance events. Accordingly it examines the art of these drummers not only in terms of sound and structure but also in respect of the cultural factors that govern the operation of style and the meaning systems behind the music.
