Abstract

Third Stream, born in the late 1950’s, was of a musical experiment for a confluence between classical and jazz music without undermining the natures of advanced formal structure and the improvisational spontaneity, respectively. Venturing the trials to overcome misunderstandings, stratify the idea of Third Stream a smooth space reproducing style than being a style-in-itself, for the musicians from each territories regarded the opponents as obstacles mutually, as an infection to classic and restriction to jazz. The DeleuzoGuattarian geo-philosohpy defines work of art as result of monument bearing, giving birth to an existence with style, and also the power of escape and return as ritornello, which means dynamics of experimental improvisation and re-territorializing creative style principle of the consistent and striped strata. A drifting trajectory of style constructing and reinterpreting artwork need rather only the smooth space of free taxing than consistent and striped space of polis. As a smooth space of ritornello and drifting line of free flight, the third stream had expanded and overcome the critical points of racial conflict and commercialization through the threshold of musical revolutions.
