Title
Montreal Jazz Vocalists: The Relationship Between Their Status and Improvisation, and the Canons of Jazz
Abstract
The author's thesis deals with jazz singing as it is experienced in Montreal by examining the interplay between social and musical aspects of vocal jazz. Her thesis shows how the status of jazz vocalists is inextricably tied to issues of gender and race, and is therefore embroiled in the politics of representation of the jazz world. It also shows that jazz vocalists have been largely dismissed in these politics, and in the process, the specificity of their contribution and means of transmission have hardly been documented.
