Abstract

This dissertacion intended to rebuild and to analyse the artistic trajectory of the ensemble Grupo Um (1976 - 1984) following two complementary perspectives. The first one has interpreted the standoffs founded by the group in order to make it viable the recording, pressing and selling, of its three albuns between 1979 and 1982, surrounded by the intense transformation of the brazilian phonographic industry at the time. At the searching for supporting to make it viable, they have potentialized the rhetorics of independent musical production, that was gaining force at the same period. They manteined, also, intense aproximations with the Centro de Promoções Artísticas Lira Paulistana and nuances with the construction of the very idea of the vanguarda paulista. The second perspective of analyses lies in the approximation and distancing of the music produced by Grupo Um and the friction of musicalities that were present in the brazilian jazz. Therefore, a panoram of the jazz evolution in the 20th century was made, situating the turning point scenario of the 1970's in Brazil and in the world. Besides that, some aspects of the ensemble discography are pointed out in the will to reflect and punctuate about its possible meanings of utilisation at that moment, regardening its ties with the jazz fusion style.
