Abstract

In the history of documenting music, Roger Tilton’s film Jazz Dance (1954) is an outstanding experimental approach to early direct cinema. By using a novel, genuinely audio-visual, non-staged, multi-angled approach to recording, the film opened up new ways to capture the vibes of the filmed event and thus turn jazz into film. This article seeks to remedy the lack of academic engagement with Jazz Dance by outlining its status as a seminal example for early direct cinema as well as documenting jazz and jazz dance. To that end, the means and techniques chosen by Tilton and his collaborators to convey the impression and vibe of jazz as well as the aesthetic approach to the combination of jazz dance and music in the film will be analysed. Furthermore, Jazz Dance will be discussed and positioned within in the larger field of documentary films that bring together jazz music and dance.

电影中的爵士乐

在记录音乐的历史上，罗杰·蒂尔顿的电影《爵士舞》(1954)是早期直接电影的杰出实验方法。通过使用一种新颖的，真正的视听，非舞台的，多角度的方法来记录，这部电影开辟了新的方式来捕捉拍摄事件的共鸣，从而把爵士乐变成了电影。本文试图通过概述爵士舞作为早期直接电影的开创性范例的地位，以及记录爵士和爵士舞，来弥补学术界对爵士舞的缺乏参与。为此，蒂尔顿和他的合作者选择的手段和技术来传达爵士的印象和氛围，以及在电影中爵士舞蹈和音乐的结合的美学方法将进行分析。此外，爵士舞将被讨论并定位在更大的纪录片领域，将爵士音乐和舞蹈结合在一起。

期刊介绍： Jazz Research Journal explores a range of cultural and critical views on jazz. The journal celebrates the diversity of approaches found in jazz scholarship and provides a forum for interaction and the cross-fertilisation of ideas. It is a development and extension of The Source: Challenging Jazz Criticism founded in 2004 at the Leeds College of Music. The journal aims to represent a range of disciplinary perspectives on jazz, from musicology to film studies, sociology to cultural studies, and offers a platform for new thinking on jazz. In this respect, the editors particularly welcome articles that challenge traditional approaches to jazz and encourage writings that engage with jazz as a discursive practice. Jazz Research Journal publishes original and innovative research that either extends the boundaries of jazz scholarship or explores themes which are central to a critical understanding of the music, including the politics of race and gender, the shifting cultural representation of jazz, and the complexity of canon formation and dissolution. In addition to articles, the journal features a reviews section that publishes critical articles on a variety of media, including recordings, film, books, educational products and multimedia publications.
