Abstract
The purpose of this thesis was to demonstrate the character, mood, and style of four original compositions. Each composition was thoroughly analyzed according to form, melodic content, harmonic content, rhythmic content, and technical elements related to performance aspects. These original compositions are highly technical, rich in dynamic shadings, and melodic and rhythmic intensity. Each composition is inspired by life experience, and attempt to provide a narrative to showcase a four-decade career in jazz performance.
