Abstract

The purpose of this study is to present an anomalous rhythm grouping structure by analyzing the rhythm grouping of scat used by Mark Murphy so that vocalists using scat can utilize various rhythms. In an interview with Kathryn Irene Reid, Jazz vocalist Mark Murphy said that the instrumentalist who had the greatest influence on his improvisation style was Miles Davis. and He said he listens to many jazz musicians, including Lester Young and Billie Holiday, to develop and train his musical style. In this way, Murphy has devised his own individual ways to extend music based on the bebop tradition, Murphy's solos use interesting melodic ideas and different chord tones and extensions to balance them out and creating his own unique scat syllables and creative rhythm patterns. In order to analyze from the point of view of grouping, the research method was centered on the anomalously expressed unique rhythm among the rhythms used in Murphy's studio album and live performance album, and the anomalous rhythm grouping structure applied to the analyzed song was presented. Murphy's scat rhythm deviates from the basic beat of the song, and the anomalous grouping structure with a length of two eighth notes, the length of one beat plus two of the eighth note triplets, and patterns of 6 beats and 5 beats is applied as a continuous repeating pattern, resulting in a unique rhythmic structure.
