The study is documented as an exegesis in the following format: 1 Introduction 2 Methodology 3 Literature Review 4 Repertoire Analysis 5 Analysis Of My Own Creative Work 6 Comparative Study 7 Conclusion 8 References 9. Original compositions were written, performed and recorded as an audio CD by a jazz ensemble lead by Alfredo Lopes in the harmonic style of Joe Henderson, putting into practice the information learnt from methodologies previously mentioned (practice led research from the creative arts paradigm). Transcription is a credible musicological practice for jazz musicians and it enables them to learn tools and develop vocabulary used in improvisation and the jazz language. A harmonic analysis of transcriptions from music audio files of influential improvisational saxophone solos by the selected artist was written. 2) Theoretical component: a review of literature on Joe Henderson’s scores and music, an analysis on the influence of Joe Henderson, and an evaluation of his influence on my development as a musician/composer and saxophonist. Research methods: 1) Creative component: transcription and analysis of Joe Henderson’s work, composition of original repertoire and a documented CD recording of a jazz ensemble performing the original compositions.
