Abstract
Two musician sociologists asked themselves this question: how can four guys who have never met and who have no written music, meet, shake hands, and start playing in a way that sounds like they’ve been working together for years. Faulkner and Becker decided to answer this question with field research. Because they lived 3,000 miles apart they cooperated via e-mail, thus preserving a record of the creative scientific process as it really occurs.Key words: music, repertoire, fieldwork methods.
Highlights
Dois músicos sociólogos se fizeram a seguinte pergunta: como quatro caras que nunca se encontraram e que não têm nenhuma música escrita, apertam as mãos, e começam a tocar de uma forma que parece que eles estão trabalhando juntos há anos? Faulkner e Becker decidiram responder a pergunta com pesquisa de campo
Since Faulkner lived in Massachusetts, on the East Coast of the North American continent and Becker lived on the West Coast, they did almost all their work together by e-mail, except for a few meetings face-to-face1
The correspondence continued for several years, and their book, Do You Know? The Jazz Repertoire in Action was published by the University of Chicago Press in 2009
