That's what she said (1978): uma análise audiotátil do scat singing de Flora Purim

Abstract

This dissertation analyzes Scat singing in the work of Flora Purim, with an emphasis on the uniqueness, aesthetics, and technique of her improvisation and extemporization between the years 1964 and 1978. To this end, historical, aesthetic, and technical factors of Jazz singing in the Swing, Bebop, and Fusion eras were demonstrated. Subsequently, the interpretative keys of the Theory of Audiotactile Music (TMA) were incorporated to understand the phenomena of improvisation, evaluating the aesthetic-cultural musical value in the analyzed works, focusing on audiotactile aspects such as groove, swing, improvisation, and extemporization. From this perspective, Flora Purim's works were analyzed based on TMA concepts, which provided the creation of Scat singing models in the Fusion period, highlighting the structuring forms of her composition and execution present in her artistic practice
