    Master Thesis
    Elvin Jones' un caz davulculuğuna yenilikçi yaklaşımı
    (2022) Ogan, Korhan; Akyunak, Aslı Gıray
    In the 1960s, Elvin Jones made radical changes in jazz drumming that affected the tradition of drumming. This thesis attempts to explain the innovative approach and the essential contributions that Elvin made to jazz drumming. Jones' major contributions were using all four limbs to express a musical idea, expanding the role of a drummer in a group setting and expanding the function of time-playing by using a new system of cymbal phrasing. This thesis is achieved through an examination and analysis of performances, selected recordings, video materials and existing literature as research tools. Some recordings are also transcribed to support the analysis of Elvin's drumming approach and to provide examples for the mentioned innovations.
