ResumoThis paper examines several recent modified Schenkerian analyses in order to compare the strengths and weaknesses of a modified approach with those of an orthodox approach to analyzing jazz. The comparative analyses will reveal that while the application of orthodox Schenkerian theory may be unnecessary to produce meaningful analyses, its abandonment is also unnecessary. In fact, applying an orthodox Schenkerian approach reveals transformations on structural levels that may go otherwise unnoticed, and these transformations often illuminate important relationships between jazz and common-practice music.
